Psion Teklogix 8525 G2/8530 G2 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual

highlight the network to which you want your 8525 G2/8530 G2 to con-
nect, and tap the
Connect button.

This tab lists available networks – any access points that are broadcasting
an SSID, and it lists preferred networks – networks that you have config-
ured. Since access points are generally secure, they will most likely not
be listed here. By default, the 8525 G2/8530 G2 attempts to connect to pre-
ferred networks. This behaviour can be changed by enabling ‘Automati-
cally connect to non-preferred networks’
in the Advanced dialog box
(page 23).

To add a new configuration, double-tap on the Add New item listed with

the networks. A blank Wireless Properties dialog box is displayed.

Network name (SSID):

Type the appropriate SSID (Service Set Identifier) in the ‘Network

name (SSID):’ text entry field at the top of this dialog box.

The Network name field can contain a maximum of 32 characters. The
name assigned here is listed as a preferred network.

Important:

Keep in mind that the 8525 G2/8530 G2 will only communicate
with access points that are configured with the same SSID.

Ad Hoc And Infrastructure
If you are using an “Infrastructure” network – one in which 8525 G2/8530
G2s must pass data through an access point – leave the checkbox next to
‘This is an ad hoc network’ empty.
