WiFi settings

The WiFi section of the config.ini or network.ini file can override the default Wi‑Fi connection with VTAP Cloud.

You might want to add successful hotspot configuration details to this section, found in the VTAP Cloud interface, to expand the Wi‑Fi fallback options for all readers in your fleet.

This involves a section headed [WiFi] in config.ini or network.ini with some of the following settings, as appropriate.

[WiFi]
WiFi1=<type>,<SSID>,<password>
WiFi2=<type>,<SSID>,<password>

Settings below: WiFi#

WiFi#

Definition:

Identification of a Wi‑Fi network that you want the VTAP reader to be able to join, when it is within range.

Options:

There can be several connections defined, where # is replaced by a different integer for each possible Wi‑Fi network. Start with WiFi1=

The syntax required is =<type>,<SSID>,<password>
<type> defines the type of authentication: 0=none; 1=password; 2=hex value
<SSID> is the name for a network that could be within range of the VTAP reader
