CHAPTER FIVE - CONECTIVITY

3. Choose the appropriate options from the rest of the enabled setting fields

(see the text box above). For example, enter the network key if the

‘Network key’ field is enabled.

4. Once you have chosen the other wireless networking options, tap on the

‘OK’ button. The WZC attempts to connect to the network which you just

made a preferred network. The connecting attempt should succeed, and

you should see in the ‘Status’ field the following information: ‘Connected to

<SSID>’. Otherwise, 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 connection attempt.

Note! If you test whether or not the established wireless link works, for

example, by using an Internet Explorer or a ping utility in the command

prompt window, the connectivity test may fail because your PL3000 has

not the IP address being valid for networking. To check which IP address

and network mask are assigned to the WLAN interface, open the IP

Information pages, either IP Information or IPv6 Information page,

depending on the addressing scheme in use. (For further information, see

section ‘Introduction to Network Status Monitor’ on page 73)

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

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

Note! If your WLAN uses EAP-TLS authentication you have

to select appropriate certificates. In case you cannot find the

required certificates, you have to import (enroll) the

certificates into the Windows Embedded CE, for example,

manually with the help of the ‘Certificates’ control panel

applet before you are able to get your PL3000 connected to

the desired wireless LAN.
