How do I Access a Different Wireless Network?

Connect to Wireless Network

window will appear, with a choice of

networks available (or detected).

2. Select a network and enter a WEP key (if needed).

3. Click Connect to attempt to connect to that network.

4. If the Wireless LAN Card cannot connect to it, click Advanced and verify

the properties of that network to ensure the SSID, Channel, WEP key are

all entered correctly.

5. If the network to connect to is not available (or detected), a new

network name can be added by selecting the Advanced tab, choosing

the Wireless Networks tab and configuring a new network (See Wireless

Networks tab section in Chapter 4, Configuration & Operation).

6. Once configured, and the new network is selected, the system will scan

for the network and ensure it is in the area to attempt to connect to it.
