3.5.1 MODE
ITxxxW1 has two basic modes of operation: ‘Infrastructure’ mode; and ‘ad hoc’ mode.
Use ‘Infrastructure mode’ when the wireless LAN with an access point is formed.
The factory default setting of ITxxxW2 is ‘Access point” mode, which makes ITxxxW2 work as an access point for connecting infrastructure mode devices, such as ITxxxW1.
ITxxxW2 is also operated in ‘Infrastructure (STA)’ mode or ‘ad hoc (STA)’ mode in the same manner as ITxxxW1 andconnects to another access point.
3.5.2 WIRELESS LAN NAME (SSID)
SSID is an identifier for specifying the wireless LAN to be connected.
In order to connect to the LAN, designate the same SSID assigned to the access point.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 ASCII characters.
When ITxxxW2 is operated in “Access point” mode, other devices can connect to ITxxxW2 by assigning its ID as SSID.
3.5.3 CHANNELSpecify the channel number used when the device operates in ‘ad hoc’ mode.
The setting range is 1 to 13.
In ‘Infrastructure’ mode, the channel to be used is determined according to the channel setting of the access point.
When ITxxxW2 is operated in “Access point” mode, set the channel with which other wireless devices connect to the
ITxxxW2. The channel number must be within 1 to 13.
3.5.4 ENCRYPTION METHODITCFG supports encryption methods shown below.
METHODSETTING RANGEWEP (Key length: 64 bits)

5 ASCII characters or 10 digits hex number

WEP (Key length: 128 bits)

13 ASCII characters or 26 digits hex number

3.5.5 WEP KEY
Set WEP key when WEP is selected for encryption.
3.5.6 PRE-SHARED KEY (PSK)
Set PSK when WPA or WPA2 is selected for encryption.
3.5.7 SSID STEALTH
When SSID stealth is available, the device stops SSID broadcasting. That hides the SSID from devices not allowed
to connect, and is effective to prevent forbidden access.
This setting is available when the device is operated in “access point” mode.
3.5.8 TRANSMISSION POWER
In order to reduce the affection to other wireless communication, the transmission power is adjustable and is shorten
the range of the radio wave. The power is adjustable as following.
25%, 35%, 50%, 70% and 100%
It is not necessary to change this setting from the factory default when the device is operated in ordinary condition.

3.6.1 MODE
Setting the mode to “Enabled” enables DHCP server to function.
When DHCP server is enabled, addresses shown below are provided to the devices, which are connected wirelessly
or with wire, and then settings are automatically configured.

The range of provided IP address and DNS address should be the address range where direct communication isavailable with the device (without default gateway.)
When address range, where direct communication is not available, is set, normal operation is not guaranteed.
When another DHCP server is installed in the same network, DO NOT set the mode to “Enabled”.
Both server functions collide and operation will be abnormal.

3.7.12 FIXED ROUTE
Set to ‘Enabled’ to set an upper device (closer to the parent device from the own station) as the fixed route throughwhich to connect to the 9xxMHz wireless network.
When set to ‘Disabled’, an upper device which is in a good radio condition is automatically selected.
Disabled
Enabled3.7.13 DESTINATION SHORT ADDRESS
Set the short address of an upper device as the fixed route when ‘FIXED ROUTE’ is set to ‘Enabled’.
The setting range is from 0000 to FFFD.
When set to 0000, the device (own station) connects directly to the parent device.
3.7.14 TEMPORARY DETOUR
Set whether or not to detour through another upper device when the upper device set as the fixed route cannot be
connected due to temporary poor radio condition.
Yes
No
3.7.15 PACKET FILTERING
Set whether or not to perform timeout processing for a Modbus request from the 9xxMHz wireless parent device
within the 9xxMHz wireless network.
Yes
No
3.7.16 FILTERING TIMEOUT ON POLLING
Enabled only when ‘PACKET FILTERING’ is set to Yes.
Set the timeout period from when a Modbus request is received until when a response is transmitted.
The setting range is 1.0 to 60.0 sec.
When Modbus response time takes 1.0 sec. or longer, set the timeout period so as to be longer than the response
time.
Note that the timeout period for the parent device to be connected must be longer than that of any child device.
There is no need to change this setting from 1.0 sec. for a child device without gateway function.
3.7.17 920RUN TIMEOUT
920Run LED turns on when a read/write request is received from the 9xxMHz wireless parent device, and turns off
when the 920Run timeout period has elapsed before another request is received.
By setting the timeout period so as to be longer than an interval between requests, disconnection of 9xxMHz wirelesscommunication can be detected based on turning-off of 920Run LED.
The setting range is 0.0 to 3200.0 sec.
3.7.18 RETRY TIMES BEFORE ROUTE SWITCHING
Set how many times transmission to a lower child device (farther from the parent device) in the 9xxMHz wirelessnetwork is retried.
Once
Two times
Three times
