EWP-2000 V2 User’s Manual

WIRELESS NETWORK CARD AND ANTENNA SYSTEM

The EWP-2000 V2 has a built-in PC Card slot along the upper left edge of the

device. This slot contains the wireless LAN adapter and a custom antenna in a

snap-type Housing. You can operate the EWP-2000 V2 with the antenna in the

snap-on position or in the open position for greater signal strength. To use the

antenna in the open position, pull the antenna tip off the retainer snap and try

to obtain better wireless connectivity through varying orientations up to near-

vertical. Place the antenna in it’s down and locked position whenever possible

to prevent breakage.

USING THE WEB INTERFACE

The FireBall Web Interface fills the entire screen of the web pad and displays

the familiar FireBall user interface. This is the same interface that appears on

your PC web browser when you connect to your FireBall using the built in web

server. The only difference is that a special web browser is used on the web pad

which allows the full 800x600 screen to display the web interface.

To operate the web interface, hold the web pad in one hand or leave it docked

in the docking cradle, remove the stylus from the top right of the web pad and

select any of the buttons or controls which appear on screen. More details are

provided in the following sections of this manual.
