The Advanced Menu includes the Advanced Settings screen.

The Advanced Settings screen is divided into four sections: Access Point, 3G Modem, Router, and

System.

Access Point

SSID broadcast enable

checkbox enables or disables the SSID broadcast feature.

If this is enabled, MiFi 2200’s wireless network appears in the

must be typed manually to connect a device.

3G Modem

The

Auto-connect enable

checkbox enables or disables the Auto-connect feature.

If this is enabled, MiFi 2200 automatically connects to Mobile Broadband/National

disabled, MiFi 2200 connects to Mobile Broadband/National

Access

only after you click

Connect

on the

home screen.

Router

The

DHCP Server enable

checkbox enables or disables the DHCP server feature.

If this is enabled, the DHCP Server automatically allocates an IP address to each of your wireless

clients. Normally, this should be enabled. If this is disabled, each Wireless client should have a fixed

IP address, set on the client.

The

VPN Pass-through enable

checkbox enables or disables the VPN Passthrough feature.

If this is enabled, this feature allows VPN clients to connect through MiFi 2200 to remote VPN

Servers. Normally, this option should be enabled. If this is disabled, VPN clients are not allowed to

connect.

Config File

The Advanced Menu includes the Config File screen.

The Config File screen provides the ability to download (back up) a copy of the configuration

settings from MiFi 2200 to a file on your computer, or restore (upload) a previously-saved

configuration file from your computer to MiFi 2200.

This configuration file contains all settings for the Access Point and Router functions of MiFi 2200. It

does not contain any data for the 3G module.

The Config File screen is divided into two sections: Config File Download and Config File Upload.

Config File Download

Click

Download File

to download a copy of the current configuration, and store the file on your

computer. You are prompted to save the file; you can choose to rename it.

Config File Upload

Use this feature to restore a previously-saved configuration file to MiFi 2200. This overwrites all

existing settings with the information stored in the config file.

Click

Choose File

to browse to the config file you previously downloaded to your computer.

53

Click

Upload File

to begin uploading the chosen file. After upload finishes, the config file is

immediately applied, and MiFi 2200 restarts.

WARNING!

Uploading a configuration file changes ALL of the existing settings to match the

configuration file. If the WiFi settings change, you will lose this connection, and will need to

reconnect using the new settings.

Diagnostics

The Advanced Menu includes the Diagnostics screen.

The Diagnostics screen shows information about the MiFi 2200 firmware and other system-level
