Wireless Connection Using Internal Soft AP

Select your antenna of choice. If ducktail, this can be screwed directly into the SMA

socket located on the Eval Board. If the PCB antenna is to be used, the wire between the

xPico Wi-Fi module u.FL connector and the on-board SMA connector has to be carefully

disconnected and the plug on the PCB strip antenna should be inserted.

1. Once power and antenna is connected, turn on the board by moving switch SW3 in to

the marked ON position.

By default the SoftAP mode is enabled with a default SSID of XpicoWiFi_xxxxxx.

Where xxxxxx are the last six characters of the unique xPico Wi-Fi serial number.

This number is available on the module label. For example if the serial number on

label were 0080A398010E then the SSID would be XpicoWiFi_98010E.

2. Using the Wi-Fi Connection Manager of your connecting device the above SSID

should be presented as an available connection choice. Select the SSID and follow

the device connection manager instructions to continue to connect.

The default security for xPico Wi-Fi SoftAP is WPA2 and the passphrase is

XPICOWIFI. These defaults can be changed through the configuration web manager

after the initial connection has been established.

3. When prompted enter the passphrase to complete the Wi-Fi connection

authentication process.

With a Wi-Fi client set to the above parameters, your device can connect directly to

the xPico Wi-Fi Soft AP.

4. Open a standard browser (E.g. Internet Explorer®, Firefox®, Chrome™, Safari® etc.)

and in the address field of the browser enter the following URL;

xpicowifi.lantronix.com or alternatively use 192.168.0.1 as the IP Address.

5. When prompted enter the username of admin and password PASSWORD to access

the Configuration and Management Web pages as shown below.

By clicking Network > Network 1 > Link to get to the Configuration page, the SSID,

Security Suite Type and Security and passphrase can be modified. Modification to any

of these parameters requires a reset/power cycle of the module in order to take effect.

QuickConnect

QuickConnect offers the ability to configure the STA (WLAN Client) interface on xPico

WiFi to establish connection to an active Access Point.

QuickConnect learns most of the connection properties from the available Access Points

and prompts the user only for the security parameters and saves the settings under a

corresponding new/existing WLAN profile for future autonomous operation of the WLAN

Client interface.

Upon selection of the QuickConnect option, the xPico Wi-Fi scans and displays up to 20

wireless devices in order of strongest signal strength at the top. Click on a network name

to view the connection to that desired Access Point.

When the selected Access Point profile displays, enter the password and click Submit to

directly connect to the Access Point and to add the profile and configuration details to the

WLAN profiles.

Once added, the Quick Connect profile is connected and is accessible and configurable

through WLAN Profiles.
