The XB-8000 will control your onboard WiFi network of up to 5 devices.

You can connect to the XB-8000 using:

• Network (SSID): VesperXB

We recommend that you change your password straight away and write it

down here for future reference:____________________. You can recover your

password over USB if you forget it.

Client Mode

The XB-8000 can also join an existing network. It can do this in either DHCP
