Overview

This section explains how to configure CODEGRIP Station Mode settings for connecting the device to an existing wireless network.

Problem

Users may encounter issues when connecting CODEGRIP to a WiFi network if parameters such as SSID, security type, or IP configuration are not correctly set. Proper understanding of each setting is required to ensure a stable connection.

Answer

Below are the detailed descriptions for each Station Mode setting:

• SSID

  • Description: The WiFi network identifier.

  • Details: This string must exactly match the SSID of the network to which CODEGRIP is attempting to connect.

• Password

  • Description: The passphrase for the target WiFi network.

  • Details: Required if the selected network uses authentication.

• Secure Type

  • Description: Defines the wireless security protocol.

  • Options:

    • Open

    • WEP

    • WPA/WPA2

  • Note: The selected type must match the protocol used by the target WiFi network.

• IP Settings

  • Description: Determines how the device obtains its IP configuration.

  • Options:

    • Use following static IP addresses — allows manual entry of network parameters (IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, DNS).

    • Obtain IP address automatically — enables DHCP, where the network assigns all necessary parameters. The manual IP fields will be disabled if this option is selected.

• IP Address

  • Description: The static IP address of the CODEGRIP device when manual configuration is used.

  • Details: Ensure no duplicate IP addresses exist on the same WiFi network to avoid conflicts.

Additional Notes

• The SSID must match exactly (case-sensitive). Incorrect SSID values will prevent connection.

• When entering a Password, double-check characters to avoid failed authentication.

• Use WPA2 whenever possible, as it is more secure than WEP.

• If choosing Static IP settings, confirm the following parameters:

  • IP Address (unique to the device)

  • Subnet Mask (must match the network)

  • Default Gateway (usually the router IP)

  • DNS (can be router IP or external DNS, e.g., 8.8.8.8)

• If unsure, select Obtain IP address automatically to let the network’s DHCP server handle configuration.
