FAQ for Wi-Fi
A. Compatibility
A1: Should I use equipment with the same brand as the
IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter’s to enable the wireless communi-
cation?
This is not necessary. The IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter is Wi-Fi cer-
tified; it works well with differing brands of equipment as long as the
equipment is also Wi-Fi certified.
A2: Can I connect IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to other devices
using Bluetooth?
No, you can only connect the IEEE802.11b WLAN Adapter to other
IEEE802.11b equipment.
B. Wireless LAN Connectivity
B1: How do I form a wireless network?
Typically, you can form a wireless network by connecting Access
Points. Different Access Points should have different channels.
Every devices connected to the network should have the same
SSID. When you are using Access Points, set the mode to “Infra-
structure” mode. Without Access Points, you can still build a network
where adapters communicate peer-to-peer using a shared SSID.
When you are not using Access Points, change the operating mode
to be “802.11Ad Hoc”. To set the operating mode, tap Start, Set-
tings, System, then Wireless Networks.
B2: How can I connect my Toshiba Pocket PC e830 to the usable
Wireless Network?
Tap Start, Settings, System, then Wireless Networks. Tap and
hold the Wireless Network you desire, then tap Connect from the
pop-up menu.
