14.5 Wireless Configuration Options.
The Wireless configuration options allow you to set some parameters on how wireless operates on
the BrailleNote QT. To review the list items, press SPACE or ADVANCE to go down the list, or
BACK or BACKSPACE to go up.
To get to the “Wireless Ethernet Options List,” select it from the Wireless Ethernet Menu.
The three options and their purposes are:
1. “Notify when new networks are available (currently yes/no)” When this option is set to
yes, a message displays when the device is not yet connected to a wireless network and a
network is detected.
2. “Automatically Connect to Non preferred Networks (currently yes/no)”. This option
allows the wireless card to try to establish a connection to a network that is not part of the
existing configurations database.
3. “Types of Networks to Access (Currently Access Points only)”. When trying to connect,
this option filters out the wireless devices using a different Infrastructure. The default is Access
points only with P as its hotkey. This setting detects only network access points. For Ad-Hoc
only, press H. This filters out access points and detects only peer to peer devices. For All
Available types of network, press A, this allows any type of network to be accessed.
14.6 Dial up and LAN Connections.
These two kinds of connection are quite different in the way they operate, but have some things in
common in how you set them up. This is because both are used to access the internet, and both
require cables. Even if you are using a LAN network connection to access a network, instead of just
using the internet, the setting up of the network connection configuration is the same.
This section explains how to set up a dial up or LAN connection, and how to use it once you have
done so.
14.6.1 Creating a New Dialup or LAN connection.
Use this option to set up a Dial up or LAN connection, as the name suggests. You can also enter a
wireless configuration this way but it is preferable to do so via the "Wireless" Menu item.
Before following this procedure, please refer to either 14.6.3 Using a Dial-up Connection or 14.6.2
Using a LAN connection, whichever applies to what you want to do. They provide essential
information about devices and settings that are needed to complete the procedure.
1. Configurations are kept in a database, and the first time you go to enter a configuration, you
will be prompted to create a database in which to do it. KeySoft prompts:
"The database for connection configurations does not exist. Create a database called c
onnection configurations?."
