Wireless communication
The Trex unit can connect to wireless networks to synchronize data on AMS Trex with AMS
Device Manager. You can enable or disable wireless communication at any time.
When the wireless radio is turned on, the wireless icon displays in the status bar. The Wi-Fi
option in

displays a list of wireless networks in range, as well as the ability to
specify an IP address, if your network does not contain a DHCP server to automatically
assign an IP address to the Trex unit. You can specify an IP address and a subnet mask, if
required. Contact your network administrator for details.
