CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Wi-Fi
®
Network Connections
Setting up a WEP-encrypted network connection
Follow these steps to set up a Wi-Fi network with WEP key encryption. For corporate networks,
check with your network administrator to get the required settings. For home networks, use the
same WEP key settings for your handheld that you used to set up WEP on your network access
point.
A WEP key can be ASCII text, a hexidecimal number, or a passphrase. If you are given a
passphrase and have problems, ask your IT administrator for the hex equivalent and use it instead
of the passphrase. If you use an Apple Airport Base Station, refer to the Airport Admin Utility for
the equivalent network password.
