Connecting to a Closed Network
Since closed networks have additional security features, your smart device
cannot detect the network’s settings; you must obtain the settings from the
system administrator and enter the settings manually. You can also use these
steps to manually create a connection with an open network.
1. Wake up your smart device’s screen (see “Waking Up the Screen and Turning
It Off” on page 19), and then insert the Wi-Fi card into the expansion slot
(see “Removing and Inserting Expansion Cards” on page 269).
2. Tap Wi-Fi in the title bar.
3. Select the Settings link.
4. Select Network Cards .
5. Select Add New.
6. On the General tab, set the following:
䡲 Network name: Specifies the SSID provided by
the system administrator.
䡲 Connects to: Specifies whether this
connection connects to the Internet or to
Work. (You may need to select Work to access
a corporate intranet.)
䡲 This is a device-to-device (ad-hoc) connection:
Indicates whether you’re connecting to
another device or to an access point (network).
Key Term:
Wi-Fi access point (Also called a hotspot.) A network device with an
antenna that provides wireless connections to a larger network.
