3.1.1 Available Networks
A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a data-communications system that flexibly extends the
functionality of a wired LAN. A CB3000 can locate WLANs within its radio coverage area and connect to them.
A WLAN does not require lining up devices for line-of-sight transmission. Roaming users can be handed off
from one WLAN to another like a cellular phone system. WLANs can therefore be configured around the needs
of specific groups of users, even when they are not in physical proximity. Each WLAN has a unique network
address, signal strength, security and mode configurations that could either render it optimal or at risk for a
CB3000 connection.
To display the WLANs available to the CB3000, select Settings > Wireless Settings > Available
Networks
from the CB3000 menu tree. The Available Networks screen displays.
