and configuration.

Audience Assumptions

Installing a WL110 wireless PCMCIA card requires the same level of
expertise that you need to install a standard Ethernet network adapter
card. You must have a working knowledge of standard Windows
operations and of installing network adapter cards.

Preparing the Server

The process to install the wireless PCMCIA card depends on the
operating system installed on the T1010 Thin Client. For
Windows CE-based systems, add-on software is required and can
be downloaded from your server using either Thin Client Manager or
Rapport Administrative Software for Compaq Thin Clients.
Windows NTe-based systems do not require this additional software
because it already exists on the factory-installed image.

1. Confirm that the wireless PCMCIA card add-on software is located
on the server (to download to Windows CE-based systems).

2. Verify that TCP/IP services, SNMP services, and Thin Client
Manager (TCM) or Rapport are installed.

3. Note the SSID (service set identifiers) or Access Point name (the
network name for the Access Point).

4. If you will be using encryption, locate the encryption keys for your
installation.
