Network?
Please click Start > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Utility > Scan to
view Scan Page where you can find the usable Wireless Network. If you
cannot see all the networks you are expecting, please click “Rescan” to
see the list of usable Wireless Networks. Choose one Wireless Network
you want and double click the BSSID to connect to the network. Once the
network is chosen, you need to conFigure the IEEE802.11b WLAN
adaptor.

and Default gateway settings. Click Start > Settings > System > Wireless
LAN Utility to edit other settings, such as Mode and SSID etc. If the WEP
Mode of the Wireless Network you selected is enabled (64bit or 128bit

B3: How do I know whether or not my Pocket PC has already
connected to an AP successfully?
1. Check BSSID. When there is a link, the current Basic Service Set ID of
the Access Point been used will be shown in the BSSID field in Link
Page. When the adaptor is disconnected with the Access Point, “Non-
associated” will appear in the BSSID field. To view BSSID, from your
Pocket PC, click Start > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Utility >
Link.
2. Check Link Quality. Link Quality shows how clearly the adaptor can
hear the Access Point. If the quality is poor, it’s better to rescan and
find a better performance Access Point or re-arrange the AP’s position
for better performance. To view Link Quality, from your Pocket PC,
click Start > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Utility > Config.
