Browser-based Device Configuration
This demonstration application showcases how to configure and program an embedded Wi-Fi device that does not have a natural keyboard and screen. By using the internal webserver that accompanies the Microchip TCP/IP stack, end-users can use their browser as a conduit for programming the device with the correct network parameters.
For a wireless network, an end-user would need to have knowledge of at least the following information:- SSID name
- Security type (WEP, WPA, WPA2)
- Security key
There are two menu items on the left hand side. The first is the current page you see.
The second menu item (Configure Network), will display a page that will allow you to enter in access point information then connect to the specified network. After the attempt is made to connect to the new network, you will have to transition your wireless PC,laptop, or handheld wireless device to this new network in order to see that the device has indeed changed networks.
