Establishing Wi-Fi Connections
Establishing Wi-Fi Connections To connect to a WiFi network, follow these steps:
1. Navigate to the WiFi Main Window in the Motorola Connection
Manager software by clicking the WiFi button on the right side of the
main window.
2. If there are WiFi networks available for connection, the Motorola
Connection Manager will display the name of one of the detected
networks as well as the total number of networks detected. If you want
to connect the network whose name is displayed, click Connect.
If you want to connect to a different network, click the text that indicates
the number of network available (or the large globe icon next to this
text). This produces a list of all available networks. Select the network
you want to connect to by double-clicking on this network or clicking
once on the associated connect button.
Note: If you see a *closed* item in the networks list, this indicates the
presence of one or more Closed networks. Connecting to such a network
requires the creation of a profile for that network. See How to access a
closed network for more information.
3. If the network is encrypted, you will now be prompted to enter an
encryption key. If this is the case and you know the required encryption
key, enter it and click OK. If you don't know the encryption key for an
encrypted network, you must click Cancel and select a different
network. See How to access an encrypted network for more information
on connecting to encrypted networks. Once you have completed this
procedure, the Motorola Connection Manager will attempt to establish a
connection to the selected network.
4. When connecting to a network for the first time, the Motorola
Connection Manager may prompt the user with the New Network
Options dialog box. Using this dialog box, users can instruct the
Motorola Connection Manager to automatically connect to a network in
the future or to prompt the user when that network is available.
5. Once you are connected, the Motorola Connection Manager will
maintain a timer on how long you have been connected.
If Prompt me... is selected Automatic Profile Creation window, you will see
a dialog offering four options each time you connect to a new network for
