1. Access Point: the Wöhler VIS 700 establishes its own WLAN network.
2. Client: You dial into a stationary WLAN network with the Wöhler VIS 700
and your mobile device or laptop.

14.1 Access Point: Transmission via a VIS 700-WLAN-network
When “Access Point” is selected, the Wöhler VIS 700 builds up its own WLAN network, via which the image data can be transferred directly to a mobile device.
This method allows to view the live images on the Wöhler VIS 700 monitor, while a
colleague standing at the other end of the tube, can watch the live videos on his
mobile device.
Fig. 44: „AccessPoi nt“
• Select “Access Point”
The display shows the network name of the Wöh-
ler VIS 700 and the password you need to connect
your mobile device.
The network name is composed as follows:
VIS700_serial number of the camera.
The default password is:
woehlerVIS700
It is possible to change the network name and the
password.
NOTE
If you change the network name, you can use your
own company name as the network name, for example.
Fig. 45: Changing the password
• To change the network name or password, tap
the corresponding field and then tap the textbutton T.
A keyboard will appear on screen.

14.2 Client: Using an existing WLAN network
In the “Client” mode, you dial into an existing network both with the Wöhler VIS 700
and with a mobile device or a WLAN-capable PC or Laptop. This way, live image
transmission from the camera to the mobile device/laptop is even possible over a
certain distance. This possibility can be interesting in industrial plants, for example.

• Select “Client”.
All available networks will appear in the camera
display.
• Select the network.
• Enter the password of your network.
• Confirm with OK.
