WLAN (802.11)
If your unit comes with built-in WLAN (also called Wireless LAN
or 802.11) capability, you can wirelessly transmit data to and from
your unit by connecting to available access points or hot spots.
Once connected, you can access the Internet and other network
information, send and receive email and use virtual private
networks (VPNs) for secure remote access. To find out if you have
WLAN installed in your unit, tap Start / Settings / System /
System Information / Wireless.
The WLAN is off by default. To turn the WLAN on or off, tap
WLAN from the Today screen or tap Start / Settings /
Connections / Wireless Manager and tap Wireless LAN. The unit
will automatically detect wireless networks or hot spots. (There
may be a slight delay before it updates.) Turn it off when not in use
to save battery power and possibly speed up other processes.
NOTE: There is a feature found under Start / Programs / Wireless
Access where you can limit the number of networks to be visible.
When limit network visibility is selected, only the ones listed can
be used and other networks will not be visible. This feature is a
convenience to keep other wireless networks from alerting your
unit. If you want to add other wireless networks, change this setting.
Internet connection is one in which Virtual Private Network (VPN)
services are not involved and proxy servers may or may not be
utilized. This can include a typical Internet connection through a
corporate wireless network. A Work connection allows you to view
file shares on a corporate network.
