For specific information about the wireless configuration utility installed on
your Tablet-PC, see your wireless network documentation in "Windows Help
and Support" on page 19.
Completing the Connection to the WLAN
When you turn on your Tablet-PC and a network (for which your Tablet-PC
is not configured) is detected, a pop-up appears in the lower-right corner of
the Windows desktop.
Follow any instructions that appear on your screen.
Once you have configured your Tablet-PC for the wireless network that you
selected, another pop-up notifies you that your Tablet-PC is connected to
that network.
Thereafter, whenever you log on to your Tablet-PC within the range of the
wireless network that you selected, the same pop-up notifies you of the
wireless network connection.
NOTE: If you select a secure network, you must enter a WEP or WPA key when
prompted. Network security settings are unique to your network. Dell cannot
provide this information.
NOTE: Your Tablet-PC can take up to 1 minute to connect to the network.
