network key. The key must be entered correctly in both text
fields or you will not be able to successfully connect to the
network.
Most failures to connect to a wireless network occur because the
network key has been improperly entered. Be very careful when
entering this key. If you do not know the correct key to enter, or
still can’t connect after entering the key properly, contact your
network administrator or the technical support line of your ISP.
Using a Modem
Another common way to connect to the Internet is by using your
Sahara Slate PC’s internal K modem. Take a standard
telephone cable with RJ connectors on both ends. Plug one
end into your Sahara Slate PC’s modem jack and the other end
into a standard RJ telephone wall jack. See the section
entitled
Touring Your Sahara Slate PC
to locate the modem jack.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the phone line you are going to use with
your modem is a standard analog phone line – like the ones
typically used in homes. The modem will not work with a digital
phone line, and may even be damaged if a connection is attempted.
Procedures to connect to the Internet with a modem vary with
different Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Check with your ISP to
determine what information and software are needed to access
their network.
