Wireless Tab

Use the Wireless tab in the Avalanche Update Settings dialog box to configure the wireless network settings for the mobile device. You may be required to reboot the mobile device before the new settings are applied.

When you access the Wireless tab from the Enabler configuration utility, it gives you options to set the encryption and authentication methods for the device, as well as save the credentials. Before you set these, know what the device and your network support.

When you access the Wireless tab on the device, you can set the encryption and authentication methods. The drop-down menus will display options that are supported on the device. Provision the credentials on the separate Credentials tab. For information on accessing these tabs on the device, see Managing Wireless Network Settings from the Enabler.

The Network, Name Server, and Wireless tabs are only available when accessing the configuration utility from the ActiveSync interface. If you want to configure these options for the mobile device after installation, you can use an Avalanche network profile or Scan to Config.
