Things you should know
When you start your computer, your Dell™ TrueMobile™ 1180 internal 802.11b PC Card detects certain wireless networks that are within
range. Before you can connect to these and other wireless networks, you must configure a profile for each network using the information
you obtained from your network administrator. Instructions for configuring a network profile are provided in
Completing the setup.
WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard) that encrypts data sent over radio
waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network you are connecting to has enabled WEP, you
must also enable WEP in the network profile and set the WEP key to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, you cannot
connect to the network.
