RainMachine Pro uses an Open Access Point (Wi-Fi Setup Network) with the name RainMachine-XXXXXX for configuration purposes. This Open Access Point might be left open after you completed the setup due to a certain condition (like interrupted setup or ethernet setup).

When the Open Access Point (Wi-Fi Setup Network) is enabled, the RainMachine Pro acts as a wireless access point so that your mobile phone/tablet can connect directly and setup. This mode can be disabled after setup is done.
