• When you initiate a connection with Wi-Fi Setup > Connect or with the Connect shortcut from the
Wi-Fi Setup > Scan results, you can specify whether to add the network to the auto-connect list
following the connection attempt. The network is added whether or not the connection is successful.
(see Setup - Connect (Wi-Fi Setup) on page 2-7).
• When you view the current connection details with Wi-Fi Setup > Details, you can use the Auto
On/Auto Off shortcut to add/remove the network from the list, respectively.
• When you list all auto-connect networks with Wi-Fi Setup > View Auto-Connect Networks, you can
use the Delete shortcut to remove the network from the auto-connect list (see Wi-Fi Setup > View
Auto-Connect Networks on page 2-10.)
2.3 Wi-Fi Setup
The Wi-Fi Setup menu contains all the functions associated with finding and connecting to Wi-Fi
networks, including:
• Wi-Fi Setup > Scan on page 2-5
• Wi-Fi Setup > Connect on page 2-6
• Wi-Fi Setup > Details on page 2-9
• Wi-Fi Setup > View Auto-Connect Networks on page 2-10
2.3.1 Wi-Fi Setup > Scan
The Scan function auto-detects all wireless networks within range of the unit and lists them on the
display. Once the list is produced, you can select the desired network and use the Connect shortcut to
connect. This method of connecting to a wireless network is preferred because:
• You can ensure that you are connecting to the correct network on the correct channel. In densely-
populated areas, it is not unusual for multiple wireless networks to be available within any given
residence, including networks with the same SSID (name).
• When the connection action is initiated, the unit prepopulates many of the parameters which would
otherwise need to be entered manually with potential for error.
• Even if the network is familiar and/or you know all the parameters, the Scan function will verify that it
is actually available.
Once you successfully connect to the network through the Scan function, it is added to the history of
networks where it is available for the manual connection process (see Wi-Fi Setup > Connect on
page 2-6).
