Networks for PPC 2002
This chapter explains how to use the Low Power SDIO WLAN Card with a
Pocket PC 2002 to connect to an open or WEP-enabled network. Before
you try to connect, be sure to install Socket's software and insert the card,
as described in Chapter 2, "General Installation."

STEP 1: Prepare Network Information

Find out what security settings you need to connect to your open or
WEP-enabled WLAN network. If applicable, consult with the network
administrator. The necessary settings may include the following (only
some will apply):
• Wireless network name, known as ESSID or SSID
• Encryption type (40/64- or 128-bit, Hex or ASCII), WEP key(s)
• Use of either DHCP or Static IP to assign IP addresses
For a Network Information Form that you can email to your network
administrator, go to any of the following:
• Appendix C of this User's Guide
• The Docs folder on the installation CD
• Visit: ftp://ftp.socketcom.com/wlan/WLAN_NetworkForm.txt
