6.8.4 Launch a Connection
By default, the Trek will automatically connect to the best available Wi-Fi router in range. Optionally,
you may use the up and down arrows to select from a list of Wi-Fi routers that you have previously
configured. Press Confirm to confirm your selection. The selected router will then be used for
subsequent wireless data transfer. You only need to use this item when you have configured
multiple routers and want to launch an alternate router as your active connection for data transfer.
6.8.5 Create a New Connection
Use this menu item instead of scanning if you know the specific router SSID you wish to configure
or if your router does not broadcast its SSID. You will be prompted to enter the SSID. Use the multi-
tap text entry on the number pad to enter the SSID and press Confirm. You will then be asked to
enter the router password. Enter it and end with the Confirm key. Use the Bookmark key to toggle
between uppercase, lowercase, and numeric only. 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. 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.
Note: Trek does not support WEP connections. Attempting to connect to a WEP network will result
in a warning message.
6.8.6 Delete a Connection
Use the up and down arrows to select from a list of Wi-Fi routers that you have previously
configured. Press Confirm to confirm your selection. The selected router will then be deleted from
your list of configured Wi-Fi routers.
6.8.7 Validate a Connection
Use this item to validate your current connection to the Internet. The Trek will access a special
page on the HumanWare website. If successful, the Trek will download a short message from that
page that informs you of a successful connection. You can replay the message by pressing the
Play key.
Note: If you require the MAC address of your Trek in order to configure the MAC filtering of your
router, you can find it by pressing the Info (key 0) on your Trek while in the online bookcase. The
Trek will announce it in the Wireless section of the Info.
6.8.8 Wireless
Use this item to toggle Wi-Fi on or off. Turn it off to preserve your battery if you don’t intend to use
Wi-Fi.
6.9 Bluetooth
Use this menu to configure your Bluetooth settings. You have the option to connect to, disconnect
from or forget Bluetooth devices.
6.9.1 Bluetooth
Use this item to toggle Bluetooth on or off. Turn it off to preserve your battery if you don’t intend to
use Bluetooth.
