Wireless Local Area Networks
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow the device to communicate wirelessly inside a building.
Before using the device on a WLAN, the facility must be set up with the required hardware to run the
WLAN (sometimes known as infrastructure). The infrastructure and the device must both be properly
configured to enable this communication.
Refer to the documentation provided with the infrastructure (access points (APs), access ports, switches,
Radius servers, etc.) for instructions on how to set up the infrastructure.
Once the infrastructure is set up to enforce the chosen WLAN security scheme, use the Wireless &
networks settings configure the device to match the security scheme.
The device supports the following WLAN security options:
• None
• Enhanced Open
• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)/WPA2 Personal (PSK)
• WPA3-Personal
• WPA/WPA2/WPA3 Enterprise (EAP)
• Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP) - with MSCHAPV2 and GTC authentication.
• Transport Layer Security (TLS)
• Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS) - with Password Authentication Protocol (PAP),
MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2 authentication
• Password (PWD)
• Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP).
• WPA3-Enterprise 192-bit
The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi network availability and Wi-Fi status.
NOTE: To extend the life of the battery, turn off Wi-Fi when not in use.
Connecting to a Wi-Fi Network
To connect to a Wi-Fi network:
1. Go to Settings.
2. Touch Wi-Fi to open the Wi-Fi screen. The device searches for WLANs in the area and lists them.
3. Scroll through the list and select the desired WLAN network.
4. For open networks, touch profile once or press and hold and then select Connect or for secure
networks enter the required password or other credentials then touch Connect. See the system
administrator for more information.
The device obtains a network address and other required information from the network using the
dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) protocol. To configure the device with a fixed internet
protocol (IP) address, see Configuring the Device to Use a Static IP Address on page 76.
5. In the Wi-Fi setting field, Connected appears indicating that the device is connected to the WLAN.
