Using Thinix WiFi Hotspot™

To allow for the ability to express more information the interface was changed to a tabbed layout with

the tab section chooser located at the left of the application window. Directly above this is an overall

status of the hotspot. The user is able to navigate sections by selecting a tab on the list. The application

will then display the wanted tab to the user.

Hotspot Status Tab

The Hotspot Status Tab is pictured in Figure 9. It contains information about the SSID and the Key.

1. ‘SSID’ (Secure Set Identifier) is 8 to 32 characters in length used to identify the access point to

wireless devices. Devices use this as an identifier to connect to the access point.

2. ‘Wireless Key’is 8 to 64 characters in length and is used by the access point to limit connections

by devices.

3. ‘Hardware Support’ indicates if the hardware configuration of the computer is able to support

Thinix WiFi Hotspot™. If this status is green then the wireless adapter in the hardware is

compatible, otherwise this will show red if the wireless adapter will not support this

functionality.

4. ‘WiFi Features Enabled’ indicator will be green if required software components have been

initialized and are being used. The software will always try to initialize these components. This

should always be green. If this is red and the hardware is supported contact technical support.

5. ‘Internet Access’ indicator show if the current computer has access to the internet. This does

not indicate if the hotspot can send data to the internet.

6. ‘Hotspot Active’ indicator indicates if the hotspot is acting as an access point. If this indicator is

green the hotspot is active and broadcasting. If the indicator is red then the hotspot is not

active.

7. ‘Clients Connected’ indicator is green if the hotspot is on and has clients that have authenticated

with the hotspot. If the indicator is red no clients are connected to the hotspot. This indicator’s

state will not affect the state of the ‘Hotspot Status’ indicator.
