Configuring the WiFi Card DuraMax Tablet 8.4 Product Guide v2.01 Once the WiFi card is installed, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to configure its wireless network settings. Check with your system administrator to find out if your corporate network(s) use the wireless network infrastructure mode or the ad hoc mode. Most corporate wireless LANs (WLANs) operate in infrastructure mode, providing wireless access points (located in one or more networks) so users can connect to wired LAN services like printers or file servers. 7 However, your company may have one or more WLANs with no access points (in addition to or instead of infrastructure WLANs), where no wired LAN services are needed. These ad hoc networks permit computer-to-computer communications only. Whether using infrastructure or ad hoc communications, select the name of the network to which you want the Tablet to communicate from the list of available networks. If no networks are listed, you’ll need to know the SSID 8 for the infrastructure or ad hoc network, so you can add the network to your wireless network list. In Windows CE .NET, a WiFi card will automatically attempt to connect to the first network in its network list. If it fails to connect, or if it loses the association with that network, the card will try the next network in the list. To cause the card to initially connect to a network further down in your wireless network list, you’ll need to reconfigure the card to select that network. Using the WiFi Card With a WiFi card configured to connect to an infrastructure network, whenever you’re in range of an access point in that network, you can upload data to a company database, locate documents on a company server, etc. You can communicate with an associate whenever you’re within range of the associate’s WiFi card, whether the WiFi card is configured for an infrastructure network or an ad hoc network. Wireless network ranges currently average up to 160 feet. Note: If your network uses access points but you work in areas with no access points, you can store data on the Tablet and upload it to a company database when your wireless connection is reestablished. Installed WiFi Support The duramax tablet WiFi option currently only supports Summit WiFi cards that can be purchased from Grayhill. For more information on setting up and using the summit WiFi card and its capabilities please refer to http://summitdatacom.com/documentation.htm 7 In infrastructure mode, users can also communicate directly with each other – not using access points to do so. 8 The SSID, or service set identifier, differentiates one WLAN from another. Access points and devices connect to a specific WLAN using the same SSID. © 2004 Grayhill, Inc., Confidential and Proprietary Page 30
