6.8 Wireless
The wireless configuration menu is only available from the Online bookcase.
Here are a few points to note before describing the wireless configuration menu:
 The Airplane Mode is used to turn off all wireless communication for situations where you
are not allowed to use a wireless device such as in a commercial airline flight or in some
hospitals. If the Airplane Mode is turned on, then the wireless communication is turned
Off. You can also turn on the Airplane Mode in situations where you know you don’t need
wireless communication to save battery power. If the Airplane Mode is turned on,
pressing the Online button will remind you by announcing the message “Airplane Mode,
On”.
 The SSID is the name of a network router. It is announced when you perform a Scan for
Available Connections. It is possible that a router has been configured to hide its SSID. In
that case, it will not appear in the list of connections when performing a scan. To connect
to such a network, you need to use the Create a New Connection option and manually
enter the SSID.
 The Password is the authentication key used with your network router. It is case sensitive
so when entered with the Trek’s multi-tap feature, you may toggle between lowercase,
uppercase, and numeric only with the Bookmark key.
 The Nickname is a friendly name to be used by the Trek to identify a network. This
optional name will not be spelled as is the case with the SSID so you should enter an
easily pronounceable name for the built-in text-to-speech. The maximum length of the
nickname is 50 characters long.
6.8.1 Airplane Mode
Use this item to turn on or off the wireless (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth) features of the Trek. By default,
the airplane mode is on. When the airplane mode is on, the wireless features are turned off. When
you turn off airplane mode, the wireless features are turned on. You may also turn Airplane Mode
on and off by pressing and holding the Online button which is located above key 2 on the front face
of the player. A LED adjacent to this Online button glows amber when the Trek is connected to a
Wi-Fi network. The LED blinks when actively trying to connect to a network. The LED is turned off
when the airplane mode is on and when the Trek has no network configuration. Note that GPS still
works when in airplane mode.
6.8.2 Import a Network Configuration
Use this item to process a network configuration file. Press Confirm to process a network
configuration from a file on the SD card.
6.8.3 Scan for Available Connections
Use this item to scan for Wi-Fi routers within range of your Trek. Use the up/down keys to browse
the available router SSIDs that were found. Press Confirm to confirm the router you wish to access.
You will then be prompted to enter the password for the chosen router. Enter the password using
the multi-tap text entry on the numeric keypad. Passwords are usually case sensitive. You may
toggle between uppercase, lowercase, and numeric only by pressing the Bookmark key. Press the
Sleep key to access the key describer mode and have each letter and symbol announced when
the key is pressed on the text entry keypad. End your entry with the Confirm key. If successful, the
router SSID and password will be added to your list of configured connections (routers) and the
new connection will be launched as your active router. You will then be asked to enter an optional
nickname for the new connection.
