Chapter 04: Using Your eo TufTab a7230X with Windows XP

4. If the wireless network you are attempting to connect to is

security-enabled, you will see a dialog box requesting either
a network key or, if the wireless network supports WiFi
Protected Setup (WPS), a PIN.

NOTE: If your network access point or router uses WiFi Protected

Set-up, the WPS Wizard will appear on the screen. Choose your access

point from the drop-down list, enter your PIN when prompted. Unless

you need to configure your access point/router for the first time, just

tap on the “No” button when asked. If you entered your PIN properly,

you should see the same pop-up window informing you that you are

connected. Check with your Network Administrator or the instructions

that came with your access point/router for locating the PIN.

Most failures to connect to a wireless network occur because the
network key has been improperly entered. Be very careful when
entering this key. If you do not know the correct key to enter,
or still can’t connect after entering the key properly, contact
your network administrator or the technical support line of your
Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Using a Wired LAN
Another way to connect to the Internet with your eo TufTab
a7230X is by a wired LAN environment accessed via the RJ45
port located on the right side of the a7230X (see the chapter
Touring Your eo TufTab a7230X for the exact location). Using
this method, an Ethernet jack or a broadband modem must be
within the reach of the networking cable you are using.

1. Connect an Ethernet networking cable into the LAN port of

your eo TufTab a7230X and then connect the other end into
your broadband modem or the appropriate LAN port as
instructed by your network administrator. Most of the time,

When successfully connected to a wireless

network, you will see a message similar to

this that shows your connection info.
