the Wireless ID in the range of 1–99 to change the
device name and Ad-Hoc SSID for each instrument,
as follows.
If Wireless ID = 0, “FA-06 08” (default value)

Connecting in Ad-Hoc mode (Ad-Hoc Mode)
Here’s how to connect in Ad-Hoc mode.
What is Ad-Hoc mode?
Ad-Hoc mode lets you connect the FA directly to an iPhone
or other wireless device without using a wireless LAN access
point. This is a convenient way to use the FA with an iPhone
or other wireless device if you’re in a location where the
wireless LAN access point you normally use is unavailable,
such as when you’re away from home.
