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: If you use a USB wireless adapter of your choice or a Wi-Fi card 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.

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

remove the Wi-Fi card (or the USB wireless adapter) when you do not use
it.

To connect to a wireless network:
1.
Insert the Wi-Fi card into the ExpressCard slot located on the left panel

of your unit.

OR

Connect the USB wireless adapter of your choice to one of the USB
ports of your unit.

2. From the right side of the screen, swipe left to display the Charm bar.

3. Tap Settings, and then the

icon.
