For wireless connections (802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN), you can click the Wireless

a wireless network connection is available. You can click an available wireless network
connection to open and use the Wireless Network Authentication dialog box. After
authentication, the wireless network is available for use.
TIP: For information on importing certificates that your network may require
(according to your administrator), see "Import Certificates."

Connecting to a Printer

To connect a printer to your thin client through a USB port, you will need a
USB-to-printer adapter cable (not included). Before use, you may need to install the
driver for the printer by following the printer driver installation instructions. For
information on connecting to printers, refer to "Printers."
Set up your thin client hardware, look and feel, and system settings (see
"Configuring System Settings").
Configure and add connections to your Home screen for use (see "Configuring
Connections").
Click the Network Manager icon to display the Wired Network and Wireless
Network menus. For example you can click the Network Manager icon, and then
select an available wired or wireless network to use.
Right-click the Network Manager icon to display the Enable Networking, Enable
Wireless, Enable Notifications, Connection Information, and About options. For
example, you can right-click the Network Manager icon, and then click Enable
Wireless to remove the check and disable wireless.
Hover your mouse pointer over the icon to view a message displaying the status (No
Network Connection, Wired Network Connection Active, and Wireless Network
Connection Active) and name of the network to which your thin client is connected.
For example, connecting your thin client to a wired network (by attaching the
network cable to your thin client) displays the Wired Network Connection Active
status.
