The Vector 8 Dock and Vector 8 Receiver each support the configuration of multiple WiFi networks, with auto connection to saved networks on startup.
After setting up your Dock or Receiver for the first time, you can add and remove networks from its WiFi page. In the Catapult Vector app, open Hardware, select your Dock or Receiver, then select WiFi.
Note: WiFi configuration requires a Bluetooth connection between Catapult Vector and the Vector 8 Dock or Receiver. Ensure your Dock or Receiver is turned on and in Bluetooth range to configure networks.
Note: For the Vector 8 Receiver, this guide covers the WiFi network the Receiver uses to connect to the internet. To connect directly to the Receiver's own WiFi network during a live session, see Running a Live Activity - VECTOR 8.
Scanning for WiFi networks
The Catapult Vector app requests a network scan from the Dock or Receiver, which scans for networks and returns the results to the app.
Note: The Dock or Receiver will auto scan for networks in range every 60 seconds, indicated by the spinner in the top right corner of the page.
The Dock or Receiver will also return the active and saved networks as part of this scan.
- Selecting WiFi from the Hardware info page will trigger a BLE connection between Catapult Vector and the Vector 8 Dock or Receiver.
- On page load the Dock or Receiver will scan for WiFi networks, indicated by the spinner in the top right corner of the screen.
- The App will show networks in 3 different categories, after the initial scan:
- Current Network - The network the Dock or Receiver is currently connected to
- My Networks - Networks the Dock or Receiver has saved, and are in range, available for connection
- Other Networks - Networks the Dock or Receiver has scanned and are available for configuration
Scanning for WiFi networks, as indicated by the spinner in the upper right corner (Dock shown, the Receiver's WiFi page uses the same layout):
Switching Networks
- Selecting a network from the My Networks list (saved and in range) will swap the active network to the selected.
My networks shows a network that is saved to the Dock or Receiver and has been picked up during a scan:
Deleting WiFi networks from the Dock or Receiver
- Selecting Edit from the My networks section of the page will request the saved network list from the Dock or Receiver. These networks will present in a list with a delete button.
- Pressing the delete button will remove this network from the Dock or Receiver.
Important: If a saved WiFi network is updated with a new password, you will need to remove the network and configure it again.
Note: Each Dock and Receiver keeps its own list of saved networks. Removing a network from one does not remove it from the other.
