Connecting to a Wireless Network

Connecting to a Wireless Network

With the optional Wi-Fi card (or a USB wireless adapter of your choice),
you can connect to a wireless network and benefit from all resources that
are available on this network. You can transfer data exactly as you would
do from an Ethernet network.

Note: To save power when your unit is running on batteries, you may wish to

remove the Wi-Fi card when you do not use it.

To connect to a wireless network:
1.
Insert the Wi-Fi card into the express card reader located on the left

panel of your unit.

Note: If you use a Wi-Fi card (or a Wi-Fi USB key) other than the one purchased

from EXFO, Windows may not detect your device properly. In this case, you
will have to install the drivers that are specific to your device (usually
provided on a CD). Contact your IT department for assistance.

2. If it is not already done, share all the required folders both on your unit

and on your computer. If you are not sure on how to proceed, see with
your network administrator.
