Wi-Fi Getting Started Guide
Your Palm™ Tungsten™ C handheld contains a built-in 802.11b radio that enables
you to connect to a Wi-Fi network or to other Wi-Fi–enabled devices. A Wi-Fi
network is a wireless local area network (LAN), such as an 802.11b network.
NOTE You must have access to a home or corporate network or a service plan with a
network service provider (sold separately), as well as proximity to a wireless access
point, to use Wi-Fi on your handheld.
Setting up Wi-Fi
You can set up Wi-Fi on your handheld for a range of network types, including
networks that broadcast their SSID without encryption and encrypted networks.
The Wi-Fi setup procedure varies depending on the type of network and any
network security policies. Generally, for nonencrypted networks you use the
following procedure; for encrypted networks you use the procedure presented in
“Setting up encrypted networks” later in this guide.
NOTE You will likely need to contact your network administrator to obtain the correct
network settings when setting up Wi-Fi to connect to your corporate network.
To set up Wi-Fi on your Tungsten C handheld (nonencrypted networks):
1. Tap the Wi-Fi Setup icon in the Applications Launcher on your handheld.
2. Tap Next. The handheld searches for all available networks.
Wi-Fi Getting Started Guide

3. Do one of the following:
– If the network to which you want to connect appears on the list, tap the
network name.
NOTE The list displays any available networks that broadcast their SSID that
are in range of your handheld. It also displays any networks for which you have
previously entered the SSID and any required settings.
– If the network to which you want to connect does not appear on the list,
tap Other.
4. (Optional) If you tapped Other in step 3, enter the network name in the
Network Name (SSID) field. The SSID must match the network name exactly.
Wi-Fi Getting Started Guide

NOTE If you enter an SSID, your handheld first attempts to connect to the
network name entered. If this network is not available, your handheld attempts
to connect to any available network.
5. Tap OK, and then tap Done.

You can view signal strength indicators on your handheld to monitor the strength
of your Wi-Fi network signal. You can view the indicators using the Command
button or using the Preferences screen.
To view signal strength using the Command button:
■Press Command .

command bar.

2. Ta p Wi - F i .

Setting up encrypted networks
Some networks use WEP key encryption to promote secure connections to the
network. WEP key encryption ranges from 40-bit to 128-bit.
NOTE WEP encryption promotes secure network connections, but does not guarantee
100% security.
Use the following procedure to set up Wi-Fi on your Tungsten C handheld for
WEP key-encrypted networks.

Working with VPNs
If a VPN is required to access your corporate network, you can set one up on your
handheld. Your handheld comes with a PPTP VPN client installed; see the Software
Essentials CD-ROM to find out more about VPN solutions.
See the electronic handbook that came with your handheld for information on
setting up the installed PPTP VPN client.
Using additional applications with Wi-Fi
The Software Essentials CD-ROM that came with your handheld contains
additional software that you can use in conjunction with Wi-Fi on your handheld
to enhance productivity and to simplify use. See the CD-ROM for information.
