Using Your Palm® Wi-Fi®Card with the Treo700w Smartphone

Did You Know

You can conserve battery power by removing the Wi-Fi card or turning off a Wi-Fi connection when you are not going to use it for an extended time.

4.If the New Network Detected dialog box appears, select the network you want to connect to.

5.If prompted, select whether to use this network to connect to the Internet (or to your work network using a virtual private network— VPN), or to connect to your work network.

6.Press Connect to connect to the network.

7.If prompted, enter the password provided by the network administrator.

Connecting to a closed network

Because closed networks have additional security features, your smartphone cannot detect the network’s settings; you must obtain the settings such as network name and authentication from the system administrator and enter these settings manually. You can also use these steps to manually create a connection with an open network.

[ * ] NOTE If you are creating a connection manually, be sure to turn off any unnecessary security or authentication settings on your smartphone. For example, uncheck the Use IEEE 802.1x network access control box on the 802.1x tab if it is checked but your network does not use this feature.
