Description
Available Networks Section
This section displays the networks the terminal recognizes as available to connect to. When the Client is first installed, there
are no entries in the Available Networks list.

Tap this button to see a list of networks broadcasting their availability.
Note: You can also attach to networks who are not broadcasting.

Configured
This button activates only after Scan has been tapped and available networks have been retrieved.
In the list of networks retrieved, select the network you wish to connect to, and tap Move to Configured.
This selects the network, which now appears in the Configured Networks section.
Configured Networks section
This section displays the networks your terminal is connected to. This section enables you to add or remove networks as well
as review and edit the properties of existing configured networks.
Default
When the Client is first installed, there is a Configured Network named "default" in the list. This profile has
Associate with any network selected in its Properties selection screen.
If you are going to be in a location with only one access point (or more than one access point that attaches
to the same network), the default profile may be sufficient for you needs, without necessitating the selection
of a specific network or networks.
If default is last in the list, it can act as a wildcard should you be out of the range of your primary networks
(which are listed first). Do not place default at the top or middle of the list because, if it is, connection to the
other list entries will never be attempted.
Up
Tapping this button moves a selected network up one place in the list.
Down
Tapping this button moves a selected network down one place in the list.
Note: The order of the networks in this list is the exact order that connections will be attempted. The
network listed first will be attempted first and so on. Place your primary networks first.
Add
Tap this button to manually add a network to the Configured Networks list if
• the access point does not broadcast its SSID or
• you are pre-configuring the client for an access point that is not currently in range.
Adding a Wireless Network Configuration
Remove
