S To disable or unmap a currently mapped application from a correspon-
ding button, select “unassigned” from the applicable drop-down list.
S To restore these buttons to their defaults, tap Defaults in the lower
right corner.
Note; You cannot map an application to more than one button. Should
you assign the same application to two buttons, a verification prompt will
appear after the second button to confirm whether you want to remap the
application. If you tap Yes, the applet changes the first button to “unas-
signed” and map the application to the second button.
Note: All changes are activated immediately upon selection.

About the Wireless Network
Your wireless adapter (network i nter face card) connects to wireless net-
works of two types: infrastructure networks and ad-hoc networks.
S Infrastructure networks get you onto your corporate network and the
internet. Your 700 Color Computer establishes a wireless connection to
an access point, which links you to the rest of the network. When you
connect to a network via an access point, you are using the 802.11b or
802.11b/g infrastructure mode.
S Ad-hoc networks are private networks shared between two or more cli-
ents, even with no access point.
Each wireless network is assigned a name (or Service Set Identifier —
SSID) to allow multiple networks to coexist in the same area without in-
fringement.
Intermec recommends using security measures with wireless networks to
prevent u nauthorized access to your network and to ensure your privacy of
transmitted data. The following are required elements for secure networks:
S Authentication by both the network and the user
S Authentication is cryptographically protected
S Transmitted data
There are many schemes available for implementing these features.
Terminology
Below and on the next page are terms you may encounter as you configure
your wireless network:
S CKIP (Cisco Key Integrity Protocol)
This is Cisco’s version of the TKIP protocol, compatible with Cisco
Airnet products.
