802.11 (WLAN)
If your unit comes with built-in 802.11 (also called Wireless LAN
or WLAN) capability, you can wirelessly transmit data to and
from your unit by connecting to available access points or hot
spots. Once connected, you can access the Internet and other
network information, send and receive email and use virtual
private networks (VPNs) for secure remote access.
To find out if you have WLAN installed in your unit, tap
Start /
Settings / System / System Information / Wireless
.
The WLAN is off by default; however the on/off state will persist
after a reset. To turn the WLAN on or off, tap
WLAN
from the
Today
screen or tap
Start / Settings / Connections / Wireless
Manager
and
tap
Wireless LAN
. The unit will automatically
detect wireless networks or hot spots. (There can be a slight delay
before it updates.) Turn it off when not in use to save battery
power and possibly speed up other processes.
NOTE
: The
Internet
connection is one in which Virtual Private
Network (VPN) services are not involved and proxy servers may
or may not be utilized. This can include a typical
Internet
connection through a corporate wireless network. A
Work
connection allows you to view file shares on a corporate network.
If you choose to create an
Internet
connection, open Internet
Explorer Mobile on the unit (
Start / Internet Explorer
) to
browse the Internet. Some features supported by PC browsers are
not supported by Internet Explorer Mobile. For instance, there are
no pop-up windows and some sites may not be accessible.
