Wi-Fi Settings

The following table demonstrates the proper syntax for some common Wi-Fi settings that may be set programmatically using the SetSetting instruction. These settings may also be set using ClosedDevice Configuration Utility Configuration tool used to set up dataloggers and peripherals, and to configure PakBus settings before those devices are deployed in the field and/or added to networks.. For additional information on Wi-Fi settings, see the datalogger manual.
