Configuring the WLAN Connection
Introduction
Note: Screen captures in this user’s guide may differ from what appears on your device.
The WLAN Secure Wireless Client (SWC) configures the wireless connection of the 802.11b/g radio for
numerous Dolphin terminals.
Windows Mobile 6.5 Windows Mobile 6 Windows Mobile 5.0 Windows CE 5.0
Dolphin 9700 Dolphin 7600 Dolphin 7850 Dolphin 7600
Dolphin 9900 Dolphin 6100/6500
The different operating systems format the application windows of the SWC differently. For example, on
terminals running Windows CE, the tabs appear at the top of the window whereas on terminals running
Windows Mobile, the tabs appear at the bottom of the window.
Windows Mobile Windows CE
Despite the different formatting, the content of the application window is the same on both terminals.
Server-Assigned IP Addresses
Please note that all server-assigned IP addresses use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Accessing the WLAN SWC
On the Today screen, tap the icon in the command bar .
This icon displays in different colors to indicate the status of the radio; see Command Bar Icon Colors on
page 1-2.
The SWC opens displaying the Status tab, which is empty until a connection is configured. After a
connection to an access point or network is configured and active, this tab displays the connection
status.
