Getting Connected

To add, edit, or delete a profile, tap Network Cards.

NOTE:

If tapping the Network Cards icon does not open up the Configure

Wireless Networks screen, enable the wireless radio by pressing the
on/off button with WLAN/Bluetooth wireless technology on your device.

On the Configure Wireless Networks screen, select one of the available
network names.

NOTE:

If the network name is not listed, you must add a configuration

profile for each wireless network environment in which you want to use
your (mobile) wireless client station. If you plan to use your wireless client
station in multiple networking environments that require different
configuration settings, you can define dedicated profiles for each
environment. For example, you can create a configuration profile for your
office headquarters, a branch office, and your small office/home office.

If no network name is listed, tap Add New Settings... and type in the
network name. Select the The Internet or Work connection method
from the drop-down menu. If you want to set up a peer-to-peer
connection, tap the This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection
check box.

Tap the Network Key tab to adjust the configurations. To disable
encryption, tap the Authentication drop-down menu and tap Open.
Now, select Disabled from the Data Encryption drop-down menu.
•

If you are using Network Authentication (Shared mode), tap the

Authentication drop-down menu, select Shared, and then select
the proper encryption method from the Data Encryption
drop-down menu.

•

If you do require encryption and are provided with the key
automatically, the The key is provided for me automatically
check box, when unchecked, allows you to enter the
encryption key yourself. You can enter key values in either
alphanumeric value or hexadecimal value. The encryption key
value is case-sensitive. Consult your LAN Administrator or
wireless router documentation for the correct value.

If you are using IEEE 802.1x option you will first need to get a certificate
through a non 802.1x enabled wireless network connected to a certificate
server. Select or configure a non 802.1x enabled wireless network from
the list.
