WLAN (Wireless LAN) in the MKT-View V

Introduction

Recent programmable displays of the 'MKT-View' series (e.g. MKT-View V) use an integrated Wireless LAN instead of the Ethernet LAN adapter. The chip is a 'Wi-Fi' certified ATWINC1510.
The configuration of the module (in the system menu) differs from the older Network Setup. This document describes how to use the integrated WLAN in an MKT-View V, and possibly future devices with a similar WLAN adapter.

Wireless LAN Setup

For devices with integrated WLAN, enter the System-Menü, and select the 'Wireless LAN Setup' item (via touchscreen or rotary encoder knob).

 WIRELESS LAN SETUP (6)
 Conn-Type: Access Point / Wireless Client / 'OFF'
 Security : WPA(2) / WEP (avoid!) / Open (insecure)

WLAN Channel

Because the WLAN chip in the MKT-View V (ATWINC1510) only supports the 2.4 GHz-Band, european users may use channels 1 to 13. At the time of this writing (year 2023), in the USA, only channels 1 to 11 were allowed. In Japan, channels 1 to 14 could be used (as of yet 2023).

Internally, channel number 0 is used as a 'dummy' if the WLAN chip is free to select the 'best' channel (here, channels 1 to 11).

Debugging (Optionen for WLAN-related troubleshooting)

The options listed in this line were only used during the software development phase. They will possibly not exist in the 'final release' anymore. They control the display of WLAN-related events in the device's error- or trace history.
