Finding your hardware and software information 11
3 Connecting to a network
Your tablet can travel with you wherever you go. But even at your oice, you can explore the globe and access
information from millions of websites using your tablet and a wireless network connection. This chapter will
help you get connected to that world.
Connecting to a wireless network
Wireless technology transfers data across radio waves instead of wires. Your tablet may be equipped with one
or more of the following wireless devices:
●
Wireless local area network (WLAN) device—Connects the tablet to wireless local area networks
(commonly referred to as Wi-Fi networks, wireless LANs, or WLANs) in corporate oices, your home, and
public places such as airports, restaurants, coee shops, hotels, and universities. In a WLAN, the mobile
wireless device in your tablet communicates with a wireless router or a wireless access point.
●
Bluetooth device—Creates a personal area network (PAN) to connect to other Bluetooth-enabled
devices such as computers, phones, printers, headsets, speakers, and cameras. In a PAN, each device
communicates directly with other devices, and devices must be relatively close together—typically
within 10 meters (approximately 33 feet) of each other.
For more information about wireless technology, see the information and website links provided in HP
Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, on the Start screen, tap the HP Support Assistant app.
Using the wireless controls
The Network and Sharing Center allows you to set up a connection or network, connect to a network, manage
wireless networks, and diagnose and repair network problems.
To use operating system controls:
1. Swipe from the right edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Settings, and then tap Control
Panel.
2. Select Network and Internet, and then tap Network and Sharing Center.
For more information, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, on the Start screen, tap
the HP Support Assistant app.
Using a WLAN
With a WLAN device, you can access a wireless local area network (WLAN), which is composed of other
computers and accessories that are linked by a wireless router or a wireless access point.
NOTE: The terms wireless router and wireless access point are often used interchangeably.
●
A large-scale WLAN, such as a corporate or public WLAN, typically uses wireless access points that can
accommodate a large number of computers and accessories and can separate critical network functions.
●
A home or small oice WLAN typically uses a wireless router, which allows several wireless and wired
computers to share an Internet connection, a printer, and les without requiring additional pieces of
hardware or software.
12 Chapter 3 Connecting to a network
To use the WLAN device in your tablet, you must connect to a WLAN infrastructure (provided through a service
provider or a public or corporate network).
Using an Internet service provider
When you are setting up Internet access in your home, you must establish an account with an Internet service
provider (ISP). To purchase Internet service and a modem, contact a local ISP. The ISP will help set up the
modem, install a network cable to connect your wireless tablet to the modem, and test the Internet service.
NOTE: Your ISP will give you a user ID and a password to use for Internet access. Record this information
and store it in a safe place.
Setting up a WLAN
To set up a WLAN and connect to the Internet, you need the following equipment:
●
A broadband modem (either DSL or cable) (1) and high-speed Internet service purchased from an
Internet service provider
●
A wireless router (2) (purchased separately)
●
A wireless tablet (3)
NOTE: Some modems have a built-in wireless router. Check with your ISP to determine what type of modem
you have.
The illustration below shows an example of a wireless network installation that is connected to the Internet.
As your network grows, additional wireless and wired computers can be connected to the network to access
the Internet.
For help in setting up your WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.
Conguring a wireless router
For help in setting up a WLAN, see the information provided by your router manufacturer or your ISP.
Protecting your WLAN
When you set up a WLAN or access an existing WLAN, always enable security features to protect your network
from unauthorized access. WLANs in public areas (hotspots) like coee shops and airports may not provide
any security. If you are concerned about the security of your tablet in a hotspot, limit your network activities
to email that is not condential and basic Internet surng.
Wireless radio signals travel outside the network, so other WLAN devices can pick up unprotected signals.
Take the following precautions to protect your WLAN:
●
Use a rewall.
Connecting to a wireless network 13
A rewall checks both data and requests for data that are sent to your network, and discards any
suspicious items. Firewalls are available in both software and hardware. Some networks use a
combination of both types.
●
Use wireless encryption.
Wireless encryption uses security settings to encrypt and decrypt data that is transmitted over the
network. For more information, access HP Support Assistant. To access HP Support Assistant, on the
Start screen, tap the HP Support Assistant app.
Connecting to a WLAN
To connect to the WLAN, follow these steps:
1. Be sure that the WLAN device is on.
2. On the Start screen, swipe from the right edge of the touch screen to display the charms, tap Settings,
and then tap the network icon.

Using Bluetooth wireless devices
A Bluetooth device provides short-range wireless communications that replace the physical cable connections
that traditionally link electronic devices such as the following:
●
Computers (desktop, notebook, PDA)
●
Phones (cellular, cordless, smart phone)
●
Imaging devices (printer, camera)
●
Audio devices (headset, speakers)
●
Mouse
Bluetooth devices provide peer-to-peer capability that allows you to set up a personal area network (PAN) of
Bluetooth devices. For information about conguring and using Bluetooth devices, see the Bluetooth
software Help.
Using HP Mobile Broadband (select models only)
HP Mobile Broadband enables your tablet to use WWANs to access the Internet from more places and over
larger areas than it can by using WLANs. Using HP Mobile Broadband requires a network service provider
(called a mobile network operator), which in most cases is a cellular phone network operator. Coverage for HP
Mobile Broadband is similar to cellular phone voice coverage.
If your tablet has HP Mobile Broadband, it is also equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) functionality.
GPS satellites deliver location, speed, and direction information to GPS-equipped systems.
When used with mobile network operator service, HP Mobile Broadband gives you the freedom to stay
connected to the Internet, send email, or connect to your corporate network whether you are on the road or
outside the range of Wi-Fi hotspots.
HP supports the following technologies:
●
HSPA (High Speed Packet Access), which provides access to networks based on the Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) telecommunications standard.
●
EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized), which provides access to networks based on the code division
multiple access (CDMA) telecommunications standard.
●
LTE (Long Term Evolution), which provides access to networks supporting LTE technology.
You may need the HP Mobile Broadband Module serial number to activate mobile broadband service.
Some mobile network operators require the use of a SIM. A SIM contains basic information about you, such as
a personal identication number (PIN), as well as network information. Some tablets include a SIM that is
preinstalled. If the SIM is not preinstalled, it may be provided in the HP Mobile Broadband information
provided with your tablet, or the mobile network operator may provide it separately from the tablet.
For information about inserting and removing the SIM, see Inserting and removing a micro SIM or microSD
card on page 16 in this chapter.
For information about HP Mobile Broadband and how to activate service with a preferred mobile network
operator, see the HP Mobile Broadband information included with your tablet.
