If the Wireless Network is Not Broadcasting SSID

The Configure Wireless Networks window only shows wireless networks that broadcast a Network Name (SSID) and those that have been added. Add the network if it is not listed. Contact your network administrator for the following information:

•SSID (network name)

•Data Encryption

•Keys (if the key is not provided automatically)

•Log in if necessary

To configure the wireless network:

•Selecting Work automatically starts a VPN connection any time you connect to the network.

•If you are having trouble connecting to your network, change the Connects To box to Internet.

4Tap the Network Key tab.

5Enter the Authentication and Data Encryption information. If a key is required, enter the network key.

6Select the 802.1x tab.
