Step 1: Getting connected
Using your terminal requires an Internet connection,
such as DSL, cable or dial up connection. If you chose
a dialup connection, a dedicated phone line is
recommended.

AES).To change, touch the drop-down arrow and
select a new option. SSID is the name assigned to your
Wi-Fi network. It is a case sensitive text string up to 32
bytes long. All devices in the network must use the
SSID to communicate over Wi-Fi, and you will also
need your password (key). Ensure that the key and
SSID match your Wi-Fi system settings. A USB
keyboard may be connected to the terminal to enter
this information.
