Wireless USB adapter for your Versiv/TFS - LinkWare Live

Versiv/TFS includes the DSX-5000 CableAnalyzer, DSX-8000 CableAnalyzer, CertiFiber Pro, OptiFiber Pro and FI-7000.

You can connect your Versiv/TFS mainframe to LinkWare Live using the fixed Ethernet Port on the side or with a USB Wireless Adapter.

If you intend to use the USB Wireless Adapter, please update your Versiv to the latest version first, along with your version of LinkWare PC.

Supported Wi-Fi USB Adapters

  • TP‐LINK TL‐WN725N (Versions 1 & 2) *Recommended*
  • ASUS USB N10 Nano
  • NETGEAR WNA1000M

You may also use the ASUS USB N10, but customers have reported fit issues where the adapter does not make a secure connection. Based on customer feedback, we recommend the adapters above with a preference in the order they are displayed.

Using your cell phone as a wireless hotspot is the most popular method has it avoids issues of browser authentication - which is supported in Version 4.2 Build 5 and later.

Update:  Effective September 13, 2016, the TP-Link Wi-Fi Adapter will be included in all Versiv products (mainframes and kits) as a trial for the rest of 2016.  Versiv units shipping with the Wi-Fi adapter will have stickers on the outside of the box specifying that a WiFi adapter is included inside.
