Note: If a RA2041 CF radio is installed in your unit, follow the setup instruction
in “Setting Up A RA2041 Radio–Summit Client Utility” on page 73.
Network (802.11) cards are used to connect to a wireless LAN. When a radio is
installed in your hand-held, a notification bubble is displayed listing the networks
(SSIDs) that have been located. You can tap on a network listed in the notification
bubble to connect to an existing network.
You can also choose to set up a new network. The steps in this section use the
Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system connection setup tools (Windows Zero
Config – WZC) to set up a network.
