2.2. Configuring the WiFi Network

Note: The following section describes preliminary steps required for DPL WiFi units only.
For all other configurations continue to the following section.

DPL-WiFi is an offline / passive vehicle device. Unlike the cellular versions of the DPL, which upload data
in real time over the cellular network, the DPL-WiFi continuously collects data offline in its internal storage
and automatically uploads it to Orpak’s ForeFleet server when in a coverage area of a WiFi network.
The DPL keeps a list of WiFi networks through which it can connect for uploading data. These networks
are defined by their SSID (Service Set Identifier - the network name) and Security Key (password) and can
be implemented at the fleet premises, parking or fuel station by a fixed WiFi hotspot / router / access
point with Internet connectivity, or anywhere using a mobile phone with cellular internet connectivity and
an activated WiFi Tethering / Personal Hotspot on the device.

2.3. DPL SSID Configuration Options

In order for the DPL-WiFi to establish initial connection to the network, some simple options are available.
Using any of these options will make the initial connection quick and simple right after the DPL is taken

18 DPL Installation and Setup Manual

out of the box and connected to a power source.
The options are:
Default SSID: The DPL comes with preconfigured default SSID and security key (servicedpl /
servicedpl), which allow an automatic connection to a WiFi access point configured with these
network properties
Open Network Auto-connect: DPL will connect to any open WiFi network available (a network
without a security key), regardless of its SSID, to establish its initial connection (default)
Preconfigured DPL Units: DPL units can be preconfigured in the production process with
customer specific SSIDs and security keys, if provided in advance (please contact Orpak's
Customer Support for more details)
PC Configuration Tool: In cases where none of the above is applicable, you may configure the
unit's SSID by connecting the unit to a PC with USB or RS232 and running the DPL Configuration
tool. Please refer to Setting Up DPL WiFi Networks using DPL Configuration Tool
Using any of the options above, the DPL will establish connection with the ForeFleet cloud server, after
which it can be set up online using the DPL Setup Wizard.

2.4. Configuring WiFi Networks

Follow the guidelines below to configure your WiFi networks.

Note: Please read these guidelines thoroughly before installing the DPL WiFi units.

be used during installation or service calls in remote locations, permanent WiFi access points should be
installed in main locations.
Follow the guidelines below in order to set up permanent access points in main parking lots / service
stations to download accumulated route / diagnostics data:
The Access Points should be configured with the same SSID and security key as in DPL units,
according to the selected DPL SSID configuration option. Please refer to your Access Point User
Manual for instructions on how to set SSID and the security key in the specific model
The DPL-WiFi is designed to transmit one-week of accumulated data in up to 10 minutes
Permanent access points should provide WiFi coverage of the vehicles' location

DPL must be firmly installed. You may mount the device to most vertical or horizontal surfaces
using the mounting tabs on the sides of the unit. Fasten the device using screws or tie-wraps
DPL must not be obstructed by surrounding metal objects
An optimal location will be one that:
The DPL does not interfere with other transmitting devices (e.g. radio, car alarm, immobilizer, etc.)
Is not visible to the driver
Is easily accessible to the technician
Takes into account location of required input sources (e.g. door, thermistor, etc.)
Takes into account power source
