Wi-Fi Terms

It is recommended that you become familiar with the following terms as you use Wi-Fi.

Term Definition

802.11 standard An approved standard specification of radio technology from the Institute of Electrical and

Electronics Engineers (IEEE) used for wireless local area networks (Wi-Fi).

Device-to-computer or ad-hoc A mode that does not use access points. It provides independent peer-to-peer connectivity in

a wireless LAN.

Domain Name System (DNS) The way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP addresses. It is an

easy name to remember for an Internet address. Every Web site has its own specific IP

address on the Internet.

Encryption An alphanumeric (letters and/or numbers) conversion process of data primarily used for

protection against any unauthorized people.

Hotspots Public or private areas where you can access Wi-Fi service. These wireless connections can

be located, for example, at a library, cyber cafe, hotel, airport lounge, or convention center.

This service can be free or sometimes requires a fee.

Infrastructure This connection mode uses wireless access points to connect to networks.

Open Wi-Fi settings

To open Wi-Fi settings:

1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless Manager.

2. Tap Menu > Wi-Fi Settings.

Automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network

When you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network, the HP iPAQ automatically detects Wi-Fi networks that are

broadcasting their signal. If your Wi-Fi network is not set to broadcast, then you have to connect to it

manually. While trying to connect to a Wi-Fi network if authentication is required, contact your network

administrator for the details and enter the authentication information appropriately.

To automatically connect to a Wi-Fi network:

1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless Manager > Wi-Fi.

2. Once your HP iPAQ detects a Wi-Fi network, you are asked to choose if you want to connect.

Select the network you want to get connected to and tap Connect.
