Using the Built-In Wireless LAN Function (Optional)
With the built-in wireless LAN card on your Joybook, you can access
Ethernet network wirelessly without the constraints of network cables.
At home or in the office, you need an access point, which serves as an air
station to make transmission possible. Outdoors in places such as in
coffee shops or library, you can inquire the service personnel about an
account.
To connect to a wireless LAN network:
1. Make sure that you are located within the wireless network service area
and you have already obtained the user name and password for
accessing such network from the service provider.
2. Slide the Wireless Connection Switch on the Joybook to the
ON
position.
3. Press the <Fn> + <F12> hotkey combination several times until
WLAN is “ON”.
4. A pop up screen that prompts you for the configuration may be
displayed as follows. Click Yes to configure the wireless network and
then jump to Step 8.
5. If the pop up screen is not available, click on the wireless LAN
icon
on the System Tray located at the lower right corner of the
Desktop to bring up a pop-up menu.
6. Click Open Intel PROSet/Wireless to bring up the utility window.
