Dana Wireless Setup Guide 1
CHAPTER 1
Setting up Wireless
Connectivity
Dana™ Wireless by AlphaSmart® offers the convenience and
affordability of a handheld device. With built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b)
technology, wireless connectivity has never been easier. Dana Wireless
enables wireless connectivity to Wi-Fi HotSpots - at the office, in the
classroom, on campus, at home, or in any of the thousands of public
Wi-Fi HotSpots. The optional Dana Internet Solutions Pack includes
valuable tools like a wide screen web browser, an email program, and a
60-day trial version of an instant messaging program.
Note:
In order to use Wi-Fi you must have access to a
network (home, school, or corporate) or a service plan
with a network service provider (sold separately by third
party vendors). You must also have proximity to a
wireless
access point.
Tip:
If you are unfamiliar with Wi-Fi terminology or the
Dana interface, we recommend you refer to Appendix A.
It contains definitions of commonly used Wi-Fi terms as
well as a description of Dana interface elements. Wi-Fi
terms defined in the Appendix are indicated in the text by
an underline.
Setup
Setup procedures for Dana Wireless will vary considerably depending
on the Wi-Fi network you are connecting to. For instance, a school or
office might use encryption
, while a coffeehouse probably would not.
Dana Wireless will work in both cases, but some additional setup steps
are required when connecting to a network that uses encryption.
