Connecting to the Wireless Network
The Available Wireless Networks list includes the following information for each network:
• The Network Name (or SSID).
• The operating frequency band (in GHz).
• The quality of the wireless signal from the AP or router.
• The security and encryption methods used on the network.
• The connection status. (The status is either Connected or it is blank, if not
connected.)
The area below the Available Wireless Networks list displays the real-time connection
status as the monitor attempts to connect to the network.
The following messages appear if the connection is successful:
• Associating with <Network Name>
• Associated to <Network Name>
• Connected to <Network Name>
Note — If you try to connect to a different network before disconnecting from the
currently connected network, you will see a Not Connected message for up to one
minute while the monitor disconnects from the first network and attempts to
establish a connection with the new network.
If your AP or router broadcasts its SSID, use the following procedure to connect to your
wireless network. If your AP or router does not broadcast its SSID, use the procedure in
“SSID Broadcast Disabled” on page 3-15 to connect to your wireless network.
