Introduction: Dell™ TrueMobile™ 1400 WLAN Card User's Guide
Before you begin
Things you should know
TrueMobile 1400 network
Before you begin
Obtain the following information from your network administrator (if you are a home user, obtain this information from the person that
installed your wireless access point):
●Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks that you want to connect to.
●WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key information (if any) for the networks you want to connect to.
●For Microsoft® Windows® networking, your customer name and workgroup name.
●For your network account, your user name and password.
●Your IP address (if not using a DHCP server)
Things you should know
When you start your computer, your Dell™ TrueMobile™ 1400 WLAN card detects certain wireless networks that are within range. Before
you can connect to these and other wireless networks, you must configure a profile for each network using the information you obtained
from your network administrator. Instructions for configuring a network profile are provided in Completing the setup.
WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard) that encrypts data sent over radio
waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network you are connecting to has enabled WEP, you
must also enable WEP in the network profile and set the WEP key to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, you cannot
connect to the network.
Dell TrueMobile 1400 network
The Dell TrueMobile 1400 solution allows you to make a wireless connection to a network, as illustrated below.
