The unit hardware address (also known as MAC address) is also used as the unique
Serial Number to uniquely identify the unit. This number is located on the product label in
the format SN: YYYYYYXXXXXX-, where the YY represents the Lantronix OUI and XXs
are unique numbers within that OUI namespace assigned to the product.
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 Securit y and passphr ase c an be modified. Modification to any
of these parameters requires a reset/power cycle of the module in order to take effect.
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.
Click the new WLAN profile to view and modify settings.
