Introduction
IMPORTANT NOTE!
Some wireless networks, especially those in public areas, are unsecured, i.e. they do
not require a password in order to establish a network connection.
Wireless local area networks (WLANs) allow XG4 rugged mobile computers to send and receive
information wirelessly within the range of the wireless network they are connected to at a given time.
Wireless network connectivity may or may not include access to the Internet, depending on the
network’s mission and configuration.
A given physical area may have multiple wireless local area networks (WLANs), sometimes referred
to as Wi-Fi hot spots, which the XG4 can see as it scans for available networks.
Typically, wireless local area networks are configured with a security scheme. Wireless devices
connected to a wireless network must:
A. Be configured for compatibility with the host wireless network’s security requirements. These
security requirements are necessary to prevent unauthorized access to the wireless network, and
also to prevent damage to computers using the wireless network.
B. Be granted access to the host wireless network through the use of a security code (password)
established by the host wireless network’s administrator to protect the network from unauthorized
use. Public wireless networks may require both a login and a password for a connection.
