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