CONFIG

Last update: May 2018

The FlashAir can be controlled by changing /SD_WLAN/CONFIG. To activate changed settings, you have to restart the FlashAir by removing and re-inserting it. There are hidden attributes attached to this directory, therefore you need tools to handle this hidden folder. Please note that any setting changes made by config.cgi may take some time to be reflected in the CONFIG file. Restart the FlashAir, then change the CONFIG file. Regarding how to write CONFIG, please see CONFIG writing sample.
In addition, after ";" will be treated as comment out.

Manual start mode
This mode is used to switch the ON / OFF of the wireless LAN function of FlashAir manually.
You can activate the wireless LAN by turning off the image protection of the wireless LAN startup image (/ DCIM / 100__TSB / FA000001.JPG) saved in FlashAir at the time of shipment, and deactivate the wireless LAN by turning on the image protection.
Protection ON / OFF is performed mainly on the digital camera side.
Auto start mode
This mode automatically activates the wireless LAN function when the FlashAir inserted device turns on.
AP mode
In AP mode (i.e. Access Point Mode), the FlashAir behaves like a normal wireless access point - although with no direct internet access
The config file parameters APPSSID and APPNETWORKKEY set the SSID and Network Security Key respectively.
The security mode is WPA2-AES.
STA mode
In STA mode (ie. Station Mode), the FlashAir becomes a Wireless LAN client. This requires another device to act as the access point.
The config file parameters APPSSID and APPNETWORKKEY set the SSID and Network Security Key respectively.
Please refer to Advanced Tutorials - Using Station Mode for further information.
Internet pass-thru mode
In Internet pass-thru mode, the FlashAir becomes both a Wireless Access Point, and a Wireless LAN client.
This allows you to connect to the internet while also connected to your FlashAir.
If the card fails to connect to the second access point, only AP mode functionality will be enabled.
The config file parameters APPSSID and APPNETWORKKEY set the SSID and Network Security Key respectively.
The security mode is WPA2-AES.
The config file parameters BRGSSID and BRGNETWORKKEY set the SSID and Network Security Key to use for the second access point.
Please refer to Advanced Tutorials - Using Internet Pass-Thru Mode for more information.
