setting up WiFi (10.2.1)

I don't always fly with the Stratus in the plane.  For shorter trips or $100 hamburgers I fly only with the IPAD and IFD 100.  For longer trips, I like the backup of the AHRS on FF and also the ability to see Nexrad on FF should I have an electrical failure.

Ensured the Tail number was set. The FLTA aural alerts and the obstacle 'corridor' are missing also. Dealing with tech support (in New Zealand) so waiting for a response and hopefully a .dsf file to fix the most of it over night.

with my A&P today. Everything seemed to work, and the Nwtwork Configuration Screen shows up as you descirbe in your post. Initially the was set to Remote WiFi, but we changed it to Local WiFi. My problem is that my iPad doesn’t see the LIO_WiFi network. It sees other networks in the hangar, but not the OFD-540’s. The OFDhas networking turned on, and the WiFi symbols at the to is lit up. Any ideas what could be the problem?

This testing was done with the plane in the hangar and it didn’t have good GPS reception. I’m not sure if that has any influence on the network. I sort of recall something along those lines when upgrading to 10.2.0 but I don’t have all the details.

The problem being, you have to input the ssid each time you change the mode from local to remote or the other direction. The ssid doesn't follow the mode as it did with the separate entries.

Hmmm.. That was confusing.  I would prefer to have "N624LL" as the SSID for both local and remote and you say I can have them whatever I like.  But it also sounds like you are saying that I must use the same SSID for both local and remote. So, if in remote mode, "N624LL" won't work as the SSID, would have to enter "Stratusxxxxx" as the SSID and therefore also use that in local mode? (or continually switch back and forth as I change modes?)

So can I keep my N Number as the SSID for both as it is now, or are they saying the remote SSID has to be the Stratusxxxx and therefore the local must be that also?

George,  Are you saying that you named both local and remote "Stratus202350"?.   I presently have my "N624LL WiFi" as the SSID in both local and remote with 10.2  Why would the SSID be Stratusxxxxx when in local mode when only the IFD is being used as the source?

The problem was that the wi-fi indicator took a long time to indicate,

I got the screen shot, but I don't know how to add to my reply.

Yes, I will go to the hangar in the morning and get the snapshot. Do you want one where it is working in local also? Thanks for your willingness to help.

One of the variations was Stratus2s202350, didn't work. Also tried:

I tried this setup and still no joy. I work fine in local mode. The IPAD 

Thank you!

Thanks

Does anyone have wi-fi working as a remote? If you do

My WIFi Setup was changed with the upgrade too. I had to change to local mode and was well.

The callout requires wiring from the IFD to your audio panel in addition to what you might have had for your GNS530 before. It doesn't use the same audio out for COM and NAV audio.... I understand both of the things you point out. FYI, I did not have a GNS 530 before the IFD 540; the callout did work from the day it was released. The setting for it is still ON in the USER-1 settings. And, I do get TOD tones, so the audio circuit is still viable. The callout is simply no longer occurring at all the airports to which I had received the callout, typically as I rolled out of the turn from downwind to base. I used it as a confirmation that I was in proper position to continue the approach to landing, whether on base or on final during an instrument approach.  Tech support has confirmed that the Wifi/BT config pages have disappeared and that they will create a .dsf file specifically for my unit to re-enable those pages/features that DID exist prior to 10.2.1 update yesterday.

The WiFi/BT feature and the 500' callout both returned with the application of the file from tech support. Thanks.

Steve,  I have no WiFi signal coming out of the 540.  At least none that are recognized by either
my Android or Ipad tablets.   Would I also need the .dst file?   10.2.1
The WiFi/Bluetooth screen allowance screen does come up at startup.

The wifi config page is only accessible in maintenance mode (insert a USB drive and boot).

I found that out the other day. No matter what IP address I tried in local mode, my IFD540's WiFi address was always 192.168.0.1.
