Connecting to a Wireless Network
Before you can make use of the PA501 wireless functions, you need to connect to a network.
The following is a set of procedures for connecting to a wireless network.
1. Before beginning, make sure your Wi-Fi setting is enabled and you are within range of a
wireless network. If your Wi-Fi setting is disabled, proceed to step 2.
■ Look at the Network icon located at the right side of the taskbar. If the icon displays an
X in a red circle, you are not within range of a wireless network. Move to a different spot
until the Wi-Fi icon changes status indicating availability to a wireless network.
2. From any screen, open the Charms bar by sliding your finger inward from the screen’s right
edge. The Charms bar displays along the screen’s right side.
3. In the Charms bar, tap Settings to open the Settings menu.
4. In Settings, tap the Network icon to display the Networks connection settings.
5. The Wi-Fi menu displays. By default, the Wi-Fi menu is set to Off. Tap the bar next to Off to
toggle Wi-Fi to On. This enables the Wi-Fi option.
6. Once W-Fi is enabled a listing of all available wireless networks displays. The wireless
networks with the strongest signal are atop the list.
7. Select the network you want to connect to, and tap the Connect button. You can tap the
Connect Automatically check box if you connect to this network frequently. If you connect
to the network, you are finished with the process. The network is considered an Open
unsecured network, no password is required.
8. If a password is required, type the password in the Enter the network security key
field. Alternatively, you can also push the WPS button on your router to begin the security
handshake.
9. Tap Next to finish the connection process.
You have successfully connected to a wireless network.
