These functions operate generally identically for all wireless protocols.
2.4.1 Wi-Fi Setup > Scan
This function scans for 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 2-5).
Setup - Scan (Wi-Fi Setup)
The Wi-Fi Scan requires no setup parameters. The process launches immediately following the menu
selection.
Results - Scan (Wi-Fi Setup)
The scan lists up to 12 networks within range of the unit, displaying the SSID (name), an icon that
denotes whether the network is secure (WEP, etc.), and other relevant parameters. The scan reruns
periodically and updates the table. For more information on the fields in the table, see the descriptions
under Wi-Fi Setup > Details on page 2-10.
