System requirements: To allow the iPhone to communicate with the network a RK-HUB (for use with wireless-only systems) or WK-HUB (for wired or hybrid wireless systems) needs to be installed along with a wireless router for the Wi-Fi link with the iPhoneβ„’. The HUB needs to be uploaded with the RASOFT programming file of the project.
