Chapter 4 Wlan; Introduction; Scan And Connect To A Wi-Fi Network - Motorola ET1 User Manual

CHAPTER 4

Introduction

Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the ET1 to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using
the ET1 on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known
as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the ET1 must both be properly configured to enable this
communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches,
Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & network
settings configure the ET1 to match the security scheme.
NOTE Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it, to extend the life of the battery.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status. See
2-2 for more information.
