VAIO® Computer Wireless Information

Question: I clicked on the SmartWi minimize option and noticed the

minimized icon was not in the taskbar. Where is the minimized application

and how do I bring back the application to the desktop?

Answer: The SmartWi application was minimized into the Task-tray, which

shows the “SWCU” icon and not into the “Taskbar”. Depending on the type

of connection and combination, if any, the SWCU icon will reflect the

current connection. For example, if the SmartWi connects simultaneously

with the Bluetooth device, the icon will reflect the connection type with a

Bluetooth emblem. Switching on and off the Bluetooth option does not

interfere with WiFi or WWAN connection.

To bring forward the SmartWi application to the desktop, click the SmartWi

icon from the task-tray once (see the following illustration) or navigate to

Start --> All Programs --> SmartWi Connection Utility, and then click the

SmartWi Connection Utility icon.

Question: Why do I not have an option to delete WLAN profiles from the

SmartWi WLAN profiles list in the Advanced Settings window?

Answer: Profiles can be managed and edited via SmartWi, but cannot be

deleted. Profiles can be deleted from Windows Wireless Network

Connection Properties window that displays when clicking Confugure

WLAN on the SmartWi WLAN Settings dialog box.

Question: I noticed that if I open a WLAN connection from SmartWi,

sometimes the WLAN profile in Windows Wireless Network Connection

window shows “Not connected”. But actually the connection is established.

Answer: Under the Windows Wireless Network Connection window, click

on the “Refresh network list” located under “Network Tasks”. This should

refresh Windows and provide an accurate overview of wireless status. If this

is not fixed the problem, then close the Windows Wireless Network

Connection window and re-launch it from Windows network connections.
