Chapter 2: Connecting External Equipment (Optional)
Wireless Network Connection
If intended, you can connect your BCM2 to a wireless network instead of
a wired network.
To make a wireless connection:
Do one of the following:
Plug a supported USB wireless LAN adapter into the USB-A port
on your BCM2.
Connect a USB hub to the USB-A port on the BCM2. Then plug
the supported USB wireless LAN adapter into the appropriate
USB port on the hub.
See
USB Wireless LAN Adapters
(on page 79) for a list of supported
wireless LAN adapters.
