CHAPTER FIVE - CONECTIVITY

5. Chose the appropriate options from the rest of the enabled setting fields.

For example, enter the network key if the ‘Network key’ field is enabled.

6. Tap on the ‘OK’ button, the WZC attempts to connect to the network which

you just made a preferred network. If the connecting attempt results in the

message: ‘Failed to connect’, it is very likely that there is no network

access point available. If that is not the case, check the settings you made

e.g. the ‘Network key’, if applicable; see also the ‘Log’, it may hold some

clue to the cause of the failed connecting attempt.

This configuration case applies if your WLAN

access point(s) broadcasts SSID, assuming that your

PL3000 is within range of some access point on your

WLAN network.

Before you begin, open the Network Status Monitor

with its Wireless Information page on the screen, by

tapping first on its icon on the taskbar, and after that

tapping on the Wireless Information tab. If the Wireless

Information tab is not in view, use the arrow buttons on

the right-hand side of the tab row for getting the

Wireless Information tab visible.

To attach your PL3000 to a WLAN network, the SSID of which is listed

in the network view:

1. Wait for a little while so that the WZC gets the WLAN channels scanned for

a beacon frame of the desired SSID, and shows the SSID in the network

view on the Wireless Information page

2. Double-tap on the SSID (network name) row in the network view; a

‘Wireless Properties’ dialog window opens

Note! In the case of the configuration for the network SSID,

the ‘This is an ad-hoc network’ check box is leaved

unchecked.

Hint: The WZC has already filled the ‘Network name

(SSID)’ field, and has selected the ‘Encryption’ and the

‘Authentication’ being in use on the wireless LAN
