Welcome to the HumanWare products tips series. The tip included below is
the first in a series of product tips that will be presented via the
BrailleNote NewsWire. Product tips will range from frequently asked
questions, to descriptions of simple and useful ways to accomplish
specific tasks with your HumanWare product. We hope you find this series
informative and helpful.
Q: After upgrading to KeySoft 9.1, how do I connect to a wireless
network?
A: KeySoft 9.1 greatly simplifies the process of connecting to a
network. To search and connect to a network, do the following:
1. From the Main menu, navigate to the Options menu (Space with O on BT
units, or Function with O on QT models.)
2. Press C for the Connectivity menu.
3. Press W for the Wireless menu.
4. Press Y to turn on wireless.
5. Press S to scan for the available wireless networks in your area.
6. Press the Spacebar repeatedly until you find the wireless network you
want to connect to and press Enter. (Note that you will need to know the
name of the network you are searching for to find it in the list.)
7. You are now asked to set up a connection profile for this particular
wireless hotspot. Press the Spacebar to move to the first field asking
for the connection configuration name. This automatically has been
filled in with the name of the wireless signal. Feel free to type in any
name you desire and press Enter. For example, if this is your home
network, many people simply type "home" and press Enter.
8. If a security key is required, you will be asked to enter it and
press Enter. Note, if you are using a BT keyboard, it must be entered in
computer braille.)
9. Unless your IT professional has other specific settings they require
you to fill in, the remaining questions do not apply. You are done
setting up your wireless network. Simply exit the menu with the Escape
key, (Space with E on BT units,) and press Y to add the profile record.
At this point your wireless profile has been created, and in most
situations, you will automatically be connected to this hotspot when it
is in range. If you ever find that you cannot get online, simply
navigate to the Options menu, press C for Connectivity, and choose the
first option in this menu called, "Connect to existing configuration." You
can then choose the profile you've created and press Enter.
Also, one can choose to refresh the active connection by doing the
following:
• Navigate to the Options menu
• Press C for Connectivity
• Press W for Wireless
• Press Y to make sure it is turned on
• Press R to Reconnect
If you are attempting to receive email and are receiving messages such as
"error 10050 or 10060 cannot connect to pop server," it is usually
because the Apex is not connected to the internet. Performing the above
steps will reconnect you to the web and email should function normally.
Happy web surfing!!
