Dell™ Support website at support.dell.com. For information on the type of wireless network adapter that is installed in your Tablet-PC, see "Checking Your Wireless Network Adapter" on page 101. Determining the Wireless Network Device Manager Depending on the software installed on your Tablet-PC, different wireless configuration utilities may manage your network devices: • Your wireless network adapter's client utility • The operating system To determine which wireless configuration utility is managing your wireless network adapter: • In Windows Vista, click Start → Connect To→ Manage wireless networks. Double-click a profile to open the wireless network properties screen. • In Windows XP, click Start→ All Programs→ Dell Wireless→ Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility. For specific information about the wireless configuration utility installed on your Tablet-PC, see your wireless network documentation in "Windows Help and Support" on page 19. Completing the Connection to the WLAN When you turn on your Tablet-PC and a network (for which your Tablet-PC is not configured) is detected, a pop-up appears in the lower-right corner of the Windows desktop. Follow any instructions that appear on your screen. Once you have configured your Tablet-PC for the wireless network that you selected, another pop-up notifies you that your Tablet-PC is connected to that network. Thereafter, whenever you log on to your Tablet-PC within the range of the wireless network that you selected, the same pop-up notifies you of the wireless network connection. NOTE: If you select a secure network, you must enter a WEP or WPA key when prompted. Network security settings are unique to your network. Dell cannot provide this information. NOTE: Your Tablet-PC can take up to 1 minute to connect to the network. 104 Setting Up and Using Networks
