Accessing The Internet (Bridge Mode) - Kingston MobileLite Wireless Manual De Usuario

Accessing the Internet (Bridge Mode)

Traditionally, the Wi-Fi antenna on your iPad or iPod touch device is used to access the Internet. MobileLite
Wireless, however, uses the Wi-Fi antenna on your Apple device to stream content, which effectively disconnects
your iOS device from the Internet. Fortunately, MobileLite Wireless's Wi-Fi antenna supports bi-directional traffic
and can be used for implementing a feature called Bridge Mode. This mode allows you to be connected to
MobileLite Wireless while it is connected to a Wi-Fi network (as a host client) that has access to the Internet.
To set up this feature and see a list of available wireless networks in your range, open the MobileLite Wireless
App and select settings. Under the 'Network Connection' section (Figure 12.1), tap on the Wi-Fi network you
want to connect to. After making your selection, MobileLite Wireless will prompt you for the Wi-Fi password (if
security is enabled) and reboot. If there is no password, the device will automatically reboot.
Once MobileLite Wireless has rebooted, you will be prompted to select a wireless network. You MUST select
your MobileLite Wireless network in order to maintain access to its contents. Since you've already connected to
the network via MobileLite Wireless's App, there is no need to select it from the list again. If you do select it, you
will be disconnected from MobileLite Wireless.
To verify that you have successfully enabled Bridge Mode:
1. Select the MobileLite Wireless App icon on your iPad,
iPhone, or iPod touch device.
2. Select the Device Name link, i.e., MobileLite Wireless (192.168.200.254).
3. Select the settings icon.
4. Select the Network Connections
button.
When the list of wireless networks appear, you will notice a
'check mark' symbol located to the right of the network you
selected in the MobileLite Wireless App. See Figure 12.1.
This indicates that the bridge function is working properly and
you are connected to MobileLite Wireless and the Internet at
the same time.
So if you're streaming content from the MobileLite Wireless to
your Apple device and need to quickly look something up on-
line, just open your Safari browser.
