CHAPTER 3 WLAN CONFIGURATION
Introduction
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the TC70x to communicate wirelessly inside a building. Before using
the TC70x on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the WLAN (sometimes known
as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the TC70x must both be properly configured to enable this
communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches, Radius
servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless & networks
settings configure the TC70x to match the security scheme.
The TC70x supports the following WLAN security options:
• Open
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP).
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK).
• 802.11x.
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status.
Configuring a WEP/WPA Wi-Fi Network
To set up a WEP/WPA Wi-Fi network:
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen, and touch All settings > Network & wireless > Wi-Fi.
2. Touch the Wi-Fi networking switch to turn on the Wi-Fi radio.
3. The device searches for WLANs in the area and lists them on the screen.
4. Scroll through the list and select the desired WLAN network.
5. Touch the desired network.
NOTE Turn off Wi-Fi when not using it, to extend the life of the battery.
