4.5.3 Configuring the Laptop for Wireless Communication
In order for wireless communication between the laptop and HAPSITE Smart to be
successful, the radio on the laptop computer must be turned on. The basic steps
for configuring the laptop for wireless communication are:
1 Enable the radio on the laptop computer.
2 Scan for available Wireless Networks.
3 Choose HAPSITE Smart.
4 Create a profile for the Wireless Connection.
5 Connect to the HAPSITE Smart wireless network.
6 Verify the connection protocol is 802.11b.
7 If the connection protocol is not 802.11b, modify the profile.
Based on computer model differences between brands and model numbers within
a brand, refer to the User’s Guide of the laptop for specific instructions on setting
up the wireless radio. The Dellâ„¢ website has a section on wireless
communications called the Wireless Center. This section can be accessed at
http://support.dell.com by clicking the Technical Support tab, then selecting
Wireless Center. The content applies to many manufacturer’s laptop computers,
not just Dell laptop computers.
