Configuring the PIM Master for Wireless Browser Control
Wi‑Fi links are useful in the field, particularly when the PIM Master is on a tower, and you are on the ground. For wireless browser control, the PIM Master requires firmware version v1.15 or later. Firmware may be downloaded from the Anritsu Web site by following the links for “Downloads and Software” and “Handheld RF Firmware Updates”.
Using a ZyXEL MWR102 Travel Router
The ZyXEL MWR102 Travel Router is one of many suitable travel routers. All that you need to wirelessly connect to your analyzer is included with the router. This includes an Ethernet cable, a USB cable (for powering the MWR102), and instructions for use.
This router comes pre‑programmed with a password for accessing the device. This password can be found on a sticker placed on the reverse side of the router. Write down the password and SSID for the router. You will need this information to access it.
