1. SCOPE
Teletest Focus+ uses TCP/IP over Ethernet for communications. Consequently, each
unit has an IP address assigned to it. The default address is 10.15.20.25. The
purpose of this document is to guide a Teletest Focus+ user through the steps
required to configure the Ethernet TCP/IP address on the associated computer in
order to communicate with the unit. Configuration will be required if the users
computer has not been supplied by Plant Integrity Ltd or the Windows operating
system has been re-installed or restored to a date prior to the configuration being
initially set.

Click ‘OK’ to apply the changes as shown in Figure 27 below.

Figure 27. General configuration settings entered
The wireless network card is now configured for operation with Teletest Focus+.
By default when starting a Teletest Focus+ unit the wireless adaptor is powered off.
To configure the operating system the Teletest unit must be powered on and the Wi-
Fi enabled. The device is activated from the front panel ‘Settings’ menu as shown in
Figure 28.
Figure 28. Teletest Focus+ Unit Settings
With the Teletest unit Wi-Fi enabled reboot the laptop computer.
It is now necessary to configure the Windows 10 operating system to recognise the

Teletest Wi-Fi card.
This is a multistage process which requires the use of the Windows Command
Prompt running in Administrator mode. NOTE; once the Command Prompt window is
open do not close it until the full process has been completed.

Navigate to the Programs ‘Command Prompt’ option. This is done by typing ‘CMD’ at
the search bar as shown below in Figure 29.
Figure 29. Accessing the Command Prompt
Right Click the CMD logo in the list and chose the ‘Run as administrator’ option.
A ‘User Access Control’ window will appear asking you to confirm your request.
Click ‘Yes’ to proceed. The Command Prompt will become active, Figure 30.
Figure 30. Active Command Prompt
The next step is to establish the Service Set Identifier (SSID) that the Teletest unit is using.
This maybe the unit serial number in the format TF-ABxxxxx but it is wise to check.
At the command prompt type netsh wl sh ne <return>

A list of wireless networks being received will be returned, Figure 31. Search the list to
confirm the Teletest unit SSID. The example in this guide uses TF-AB10690.
Figure 31. Confirmed SSID
Return to the Windows desktop and in the search bar type ‘network and sharing’. In the
search results ‘Network and Sharing Center’ will be seen, Figure 32.
Figure 32. Network and Sharing search
Click on the listed item to open the Network and Sharing Center then click on the ‘Set up a
new connection or network’ link as illustrated in Figure 33 below.

Figure 33. Network and Sharing Center
In the ‘Set Up a Connection or Network’ window highlight the option to ‘Manually connect to
a wireless network’ and click ‘Next’, Figure 34 below.
Figure 34. Manually connect to a wireless network
Information about the wireless network to be added is now required, Figure 35 below.
The ‘Network name’ is the ‘SSID’ of the Teletest unit, in this example TF-AB10690.
The ‘Security type’, chosen from the drop down list, is ‘No authentication (Open)’.
The Encryption type is ‘None’

Figure 35. Wireless network information input
When the information has been completed, click ‘Next’. A message will be displayed showing
the network has been successfully added, Figure 36.
Figure 36. Network successfully added
Click ‘Close’ and then return to the open Command Prompt window.
At the prompt type
netsh wl set profileparameter SSID connectiontype=ibss connectionmode=manual

<return> where SSID is the identifier of the Teletest unit to be connected to.
A message will be returned showing the profile has been successfully updated, Figure 37.

Figure 37. Profile successfully updated
Note: Some of the latest Windows 10 Wi-Fi drivers do not support IBSS mode. If this is the
case the returned message will shows as ‘BSS type is not valid’. An example of this is some
Intel PROSet drivers. The work around is to remove the Windows 10 driver and install a
Windows 8.1 driver. Contact your PC manufacturer or IT Professional for further advice on
implementing this change.
At the prompt type netsh wl connect SSID <return> where SSID is the identifier of the
Teletest unit. A message will be returned showing connection was successful, Figure 38.
Figure 38. Connection successful
The connection can now be tested by typing ping 10.15.20.25 <return> at the prompt.
A message will be returned showing successful communication, Figure 39.

Figure 39. Communication successful
Now that connection has been established the Command Prompt window can be closed and
the WaveScanTM software may be started. Connection to the unit is indicated in the bottom
right hand corner of the screen, Figure 40.
Figure 40. WaveScan connection successful
After each re-boot of the PC the command netsh wl connect SSID <return> will need to be
executed. This may be somewhat simplified by the creation of a Windows Batch File to run
the command. To create this, open Notepad and type in the command. Using the ‘Save As’
function in the ‘Save as type:’ field select ‘All Files’ from the drop down list. In the ‘File name:’

field type ‘Teletest Connect.bat’. It is suggested that the file be located on the PC desktop so
highlight ‘Desktop’ in list on the left hand side of the ‘Save As’ window and the click ‘Save’,
Figure 41. A new icon will appear on the desktop.
Figure 41. Creating & Saving the Batch File
At each booting of the PC when wishing to use a Teletest unit the Teletest Connect file must
be run. To do this right click on the batch file icon and select ‘Run as administrator’ from the
list of options, Figure 42. A ‘User Access Control’ window will appear asking you to confirm
your request. Click ‘Yes’. The batch file will be run and the connection to the Teletest unit will
be started.
Figure 42. Creating & Saving the Batch File

6. GENERAL NOTES
Alternate Configuration: If this option has been used there will be a delay between
connection of the Teletest Focus+ unit and the computer determining that it needs to
use the alternate address.
Laptop Power Saving: It is possible that the power saving configuration on some
laptop computers will disable the communication ports when operating on battery
power. Refer to the User Manual or manufacturers’ website should you need to
address this issue.
7. ETHERNET CONFLICT
In the unlikely event that existing network settings on the PC to be used cause a
conflict with the default Teletest Focus+ settings, it will be necessary to change the IP
address and Subnet Mask settings of the unit, the PC ethernet port and modify the
WaveScan software shortcut properties. The following describes how the default
setting of an IP address of 10.15.20.25 will be changed to the new address of
172.16.20.25 and the default Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0 will be changed to
255.240.0.0.
