pply power to the ES1AWB
The Link LED (yellow) will blink while looking for the
wireless network. When a connection is established with
the network the Link LED will illuminate steadily. The
ES1AWB will connect to the SSID Connect. If it cannot
find an SSID it will connect to the first unsecured network
it finds.
The ES1AWB will automatically try to obtain an IP
address though DHCP, or generate one itself.
