Deactivating/Disconnecting the WLAN Device

Disconnecting the WLAN device may be desired in certain circumstances (to extend battery
life) or where certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics, airplanes, etc.). The
WLAN device can be disconnected in Windows using the WLAN icon in the system tray
(Note that disconnecting via the icon in the system tray does not turn off the radio; it
continues to transmit and receive even though it's not connected.)
The radio components are switched on and off using the appropriate functions of the operating system.
► To switch radio components on and off individually, select Settings – Change
PC settings – Wireless – Wireless devices – Off.
Configuring the Wireless LAN
The optional WLAN device can be configured to establish wireless network connectivity
using the software that is built into Windows. Support for most industry standard
security solutions is contained in this software.
Pre-defined parameters will be required for this procedure. Please consult with
your network administrator for these parameters:
