How to connect to Wireless Network

Connect-to-WiFi on your Windows Mobile computer using the following instructions. Depending on which version of Windows you are running, the options available may vary slightly but the general process is the same.

  1. Tap on Wireless Manager, which is the Icon at the bottom right of the image below with the Red X over it.

    *If the Icon is not present, you can manually open it from File Explorer by selecting Start >> Programs >> Fusion >> WCLAUNCH

  2. Upon tapping the Wireless Manager icon, the main menu should pop up:
  3. If necessary, tap on “Enable Radio” and wait for the WiFi-to-activate.
  4. Select “”Find WLANs”
  5. After a few seconds all the available wireless LANs will be displayed:

  6. Now tap and hold the stylus on the wireless LAN you want-to-connect to.

  7. Tap “Connect”
  8. The ESSID profile entry screen appears:

  9. Usually you don’t have-to-modify these settings so just tap on Next.

  10. Change the “Allow Any Country”-to-your country.
  11. Tap Next once you select your country.
  12. You will get this warning message:

  13. Just tap OK.
  14. Tap Next.
  15. Now, unless you have “Authentication” tap on Next:

  16. On this screen select the encryption type for your wireless network.

  17. We would suggest that you do not leave your network “Open”.
  18. If you have an older style access point the encryption might be 40 bit or 128 but WEP. If so, select the appropriate option.
  19. In this example we are using TKIP (WPA-Personal). If you have AES (WPA2-Personal) select this option.

  20. In our example we are selecting TKIP:

  21. Tap Next.

  22. Now key in the TKIP passphrase – this is case sensitive so make sure you key it in correctly. Our tip is-to-make a barcode and scan it in.

  23. When you have double checked the passphrase then click on Next.

  24. If you have a DHCP server, simply tap on Next.
  25. If you want-to-enter in a static IP address, tap the drop down combo box and select “Static”. A new screen will appear and you have-to-enter in the IP address, the Gateway and DNS server IP addresses. Then tap on Next.

  26. Typically leave this setting at “Automatic”. Tap Next.

  27. Typically “Fast Power Save” is the default. Tap Finish.

  28. After a few seconds your new profile should be seen in the “Manage Profiles” window and the radio icon should appear-to-the left of the ESSID name.
  29. Tap OK on the top right of the screen.
  30. The wireless icon should now look like this:

  31. While the icon may appear that you are connected, you have-to-check the “Wireless Status” and make sure that you have an IP address.
  32. Tap on the icon and select “Wireless Status” from the pop up menu.
  33. Then select “3) IPv4 Status”

  34. Make sure that you have an IP address:

  35. To go back-to-the desktop tap “OK” and then tap “OK” again.
  36. If you have 0.0.0.0 as an IP address try inputting the passphrase again. If that does not work make sure that the DHCP pool is big enough. Finally warm boot the mobile computer and see if connects after a warm boot.
  37. If you have a valid IP address make sure that the mobile computer can connect-to-the internet.-to-test this, open Internet Explorer from the Start menu.

  38. Once Internet Explorer is open type in www.google.com into the address bar.
  39. If you get this screen instead of google.com

  40. Tap on “Settings”

  41. If you are at the desktop, you can get-to-this screen by tapping on “Start” -> “Settings” -> “Connections” tab, then “Connections” icon.
  42. Tap on the “Advanced” tab.

  43. Now click on “Select Networks”

  44. Change “My ISP”-to-“My Network Connection”

  45. Once “My Work Network” is selected tap on OK.

  46. Tap OK
  47. Now try and get Google-to-appear
  48. Tap on the refresh icon (the curved arrow) next-to-the internet address. If your settings are correct a web page will open.

  49. You are now connected-to-your wireless LAN and have an internet connection.
