WIRELESS NETWORK CARD AND ANTENNA SYSTEM

The EWP-2000 has a built-in PC Card slot along the upper left edge of the device. This slot contains the wireless LAN adapter and a custom antenna in a snap-type Housing. You can operate the EWP-2000 with the antenna in the snap-on position or in the open position for greater signal strength. To use the antenna in the open position, pull the antenna tip off the retainer snap and try to obtain better wireless connectivity through varying orientations up to near- vertical. Place the antenna in it’s down and locked position whenever possible to prevent breakage.

USING THE WEB INTERFACE

The FireBall Web Interface fills the entire screen of the web pad and displays the familiar FireBall user interface. This is the same interface that appears on your PC web browser when you connect to your FireBall using the built in web server. The only difference is that a special web browser is used on the web pad which allows the full 800x600 screen to display the web interface.

To operate the web interface, hold the web pad in one hand or leave it docked in the docking cradle, remove the stylus from the top right of the web pad and select any of the buttons or controls which appear on screen. More details are provided in the following sections of this manual.
