That completes the tunnel between the CAN WiFi units. You should now be able to send CAN data over the wireless connection.

Recommended - Before connecting the CAN-WiFi units to the CAN network, try creating the tunnel first on a PC using two CAN/USB adapters. This will allow you to test and verify the connection before implementing it into a network. Depending on the CAN/USB adapter, you can either send/receive data using a terminal emulator, like Tera Term or Putty, or you can use the PCAN-View software (w/PCAN-USB.)
