Turn on the handheld PC in the vicinity of an Access Point. The location (e.g. a factory or outdoors) determines the actual distance.
The distance you can move away from the Access Point depends on several factors that include the amount and type of noise and other interference in the environment. If you are in the middle of a highly mechanized factory floor, most likely, you will need to be closer to the Access Point than when you are in a moderately active warehouse environment.
Insert the wireless PC card (that comes with ThinView) into the handheld PC or tablet.
If a dialog box appears asking you for the driver name, type PROXIM.
If a Network Settings dialog box appears, enter the network settings provided to you by your network administrator.
Note: A RangeLAN2 Status Monitor icon appears on the Windows CE taskbar.
