network.ini settings

This section lists valid settings for network.ini. This is a text file which can contain the [Network] and [WiFi] sections, otherwise found in config.ini. This makes it possible to override all network settings with a single file, where needed. And it allows you to keep network and reader configurations in separate files.

It can be used to set alternative SSIDs and passwords, avoiding the need to work through hotspot mode. This file will automatically delete itself from the VTAP reader when synchronised to VTAP Cloud, to control the risk of exposing the Wi‑Fi credentials.

Note: When a network.ini file is present the network settings in the network.ini take precedence, and the [Network] or [WiFi] sections in config.ini will be ignored.

A network.ini file looks like the example below:

Copy
[Network]
WiFiCountry=GB
WiFiAPChannel=1
Timeout=5000
ConnTestUrl=http://www.google.com

[WiFi]
WiFi1=<type>,<SSID>,<password>
WIFI2=<type>,<SSID>,<password>

These settings are listed by the file section in which they are used, such as [Network]or [WiFi].

Network | WiFi
