Your ARMOR X7 comes configured with two wireless network capabilities: Wi-Fi™ (wireless
fidelity) and Bluetooth®. The Wi-Fi network is primarily used for higher bandwidth connections
such as Internet or a company LAN. The Bluetooth network is used for connecting wireless
devices such as a wireless router, printer or scanner to your computer.
The X7 can also accommodate an optional factory-installed WWAN radio and/or GPS receiver.
These wireless devices are described in
Optional Add-ons and Accessories for Your X7
for information about installing these options.
Your X7 can be connected to a cabled LAN through the breakout box on a desk or vehicle
docking station.
Managing your W i-F i C onnec tions
Your Wi-Fi (WLAN) radio is already configured and operating when your computer starts. Refer
to Table 13 for instructions on how to manage your WLAN connections.

Panel will show you all of the networks you can select or
manage. If you have an optional Gobi WWAN card, it is best to let
the Sierra OneClick Internet connection manager application
control your WWAN network connection. For instructions, please
