Setting Up a Wi-Fi
Many corporate organizations and public environments, such as coffee shops,
airports, and libraries, offer access to a Wi-Fi network. A Wi-Fi network is a
wireless local area network (WLAN) based on the 802.11 standard. When you
purchase an optional Wi-Fi SDIO card, you can use your smart device's built-in
software to set up a Wi-Fi connection and quickly connect your smart device to a
Wi-Fi network when you're within range of an accessible Wi-Fi network.
Some Wi-Fi networks are known as open networks because they broadcast their
name (SSID) and do not require a password. Other Wi-Fi networks broadcast their
name but do require a password. Networks that do not broadcast their name are
known as closed networks. Follow the instructions for the type of network you
want to connect to.
Important! Depending on where you are on a network and certain coverage
conditions, you might experience interruptions with your phone
operation while using a Wi-Fi card. Palm recommends that you turn off
the phone radio when using any Wi-Fi card or remove the Wi-Fi card
when not in use to ensure that you can always make and receive phone
calls. For EMERGENCY calls, always remove the card from your smart
device to ensure optimal connectivity.
Note:
on using a Wi-Fi card with your Treo device.
Key Term: SSID The name that identifies a Wi-Fi network. If a network does not
broadcast its SSID, you must get the SSID from the system administrator
in order to connect to the network.
