3.2 Connecting to Protected or Specific Access Points

Before connecting to a protected or specific AP, you must define it
to the F1000. You can define a maximum of four APs. Typically
you would define frequently used APs such as that of your home
router. Defined APs can be open (available for use by anyone) or
protected (available for use by authorised users only).
Protected APs require use of an encryption code for access. The
F1000 supports WEP or WPA-PSK encryption codes. If your
home wireless router was installed with a WEP or WPA-PSK
(Pre-Shared Key), use it when defining the SSID to your F1000. If
you are defining a corporate AP, obtain the WEP or WPA-PSK
from the AP administrator.
Once APs are saved, the F1000 first tries to connect to one of the
defined APs and if none are available, it looks for an open AP to
use for your call. Refer to Section 3.3 for directions on how to find
and save APs.
You will see the message "Connecting to APname" while the
phone is attempting to connect.
Note: When the F1000 is used for the first time, and has successfully
connected to an AP, it will need to be provisioned. Please refer to Section 4.
