WLAN
WLAN
With wireless access, cables are not needed to connect your HP iPAQ to the Internet. Instead, access
points transmit data to and from the wireless device. Your HP iPAQ can connect to an 802.11b/g WLAN
or connect directly to other WLAN-enabled devices. With WLAN, you can:
●Access the Internet
●Send and receive e-mail
●Access corporate network information
●Use Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) for secure remote access
●Use hotspots for wireless connectivity
Tap Start >Today >iPAQ Wireless to access the WLAN features.
NOTE Use of dial-up and wireless Internet, e-mail, corporate networks, and other wireless
communications, such as Bluetooth devices, may require separately purchased additional
hardware and other compatible equipment, in addition to a standard WLAN infrastructure and a
separately purchased service contract. Check with your service provider for availability and
coverage in your area. Not all web content may be available. Some web content may require
installation of additional software.
WLAN Terms
You should become familiar with the following terms as you begin to use WLAN technology.
Term Definition
802.11 standard An approved standard specification of radio technology from
the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) used

translated into IP addresses. It is an easy to remember name
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.
