Wireless Network Configuration (SSH)

A HiLens Kit device can be connected to a router in wireless or wired mode. This section describes the wireless network configuration mode.

A router cannot be connected to a wired network and a wireless network at the same time. If you connect the router to a wireless network, the default gateway will be automatically deleted. If you connect the router to a wired network again, you need to configure the default gateway. You are advised to connect the router to a wireless network, in case you forget the device IP address after updating it.

If you select the wired network configuration mode, see Wired Network Configuration (SSH).

Configuration Requirements

To connect to a router through a wireless network, enter the network's password first.

Currently, HiLens Kit devices support only 2.4 GHz wireless networks with general encryption types. The name of a wireless network consists of 8 to 63 characters but cannot contain single or double English quotation marks.

  • The 2.4 GHz wireless networks comply with IEEE802.11n, IEEE802.11g, and IEEE802.11b protocols.
  • The supported wireless network encryption types include WEP, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, and AES.
  • Wireless networks that need to be verified are not supported.
  • TKIP encryption is not supported.
  • The IP address of the router gateway cannot be set to xxx.xxx.0.xxx, for example, 192.168.0.1. In addition, the router gateway and the HiLens Kit device cannot be in the same network segment. For example, if the device IP address is 192.168.2.111, the IP address of the router gateway cannot be set to 192.168.2.xxx.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Huawei HiLens intelligent edge system using a browser on the local PC. Enter the address of the Huawei HiLens IES in the address box. The address format is "https://Huawei HiLens IES IP address". The default IP address is 192.168.2.111. Press Enter.

    If "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" is displayed, click Continue to this website (not recommended).

    The Wired Network page is displayed.

  4. Under the Configure IP Address area, check whether the IP Address has a Default Gateway. See Figure 1.
    Figure 1 Checking the default gateway
    • If no default gateway exists, go to the next step.
    • If the default gateway exists, perform the following operations:

      Click Modify in the Operations column. In the displayed Modify IP Address dialog box, delete the existing value in the Default Gateway text box and click OK.

      Go to the next step.

  5. Choose Management > Network > Wireless Network.

Checking the IP Address of a Wireless Network

After a wireless network is configured, you can obtain its IP address from the Huawei HiLens intelligent edge system.

  1. Log in to the Huawei HiLens intelligent edge system using a browser on the local PC. Enter the address of the Huawei HiLens IES in the address box. The address format is "https://Huawei HiLens IES IP address". The default IP address is 192.168.2.111. Press Enter.

    If "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" is displayed, click Continue to this website (not recommended).

  2. On the login page, enter login information.
