802.11 (Wireless LAN)
If your unit comes with embedded Wireless LAN (wLAN)
capability, also known as 802.11 or Wi-Fi, your unit has the ability
to wirelessly connect to the Internet and other data networks by
connecting to available access points or hot spots. Once connected,
you can browse the Internet or file shares on the local network.
To find out if you have built-in 802.11 available in your unit, tap
Start / Settings / System / System Information / Wireless.
The 802.11 is off by default and reverts to OFF after every reset. To
toggle 802.11 on or off, tap Wi-Fi from the Today screen or tap
Start / Settings / Connections / Wireless Manager and tap Wi-Fi.
Turn it off when not in use to save battery power and possibly speed
up other processes.
The unit will detect wireless
networks or hot spots. (There can
be a slight delay before it updates.)
To add new connections from
within the Wireless Manager, tap
Menu / Wi-Fi Settings / Add New.
Type in the Network name and
select connection to Internet or
Work, and tap ok. Configuring the
Work option is usually best left to network administrators. The
Internet option is simpler and serves most needs. Depending upon
the configuration of the wireless network, you may be prompted to
enter a Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) key or an Internet
login for authentication purposes. Obtain the WEP key from your
network administrator.
NOTE: The Internet connection is one in which Virtual Private
Network (VPN) services are not involved and proxy servers may or
may not be utilized. This can include a typical Internet connection
through a corporate wireless network. A Work connection allows
you to view file shares on a corporate network.
