Dana Wireless Setup Guide 1
CHAPTER 1
Setting up Wireless
Connectivity
Dana™ Wireless by AlphaSmart® offers the convenience and
affordability of a handheld device. With built-in Wi-Fi (802.11b)
technology, wireless connectivity has never been easier. Dana Wireless
enables wireless connectivity to Wi-Fi HotSpots - at the office, in the
classroom, on campus, at home, or in any of the thousands of public
Wi-Fi HotSpots. The optional Dana Internet Solutions Pack includes
valuable tools like a wide screen web browser, an email program, and a
60-day trial version of an instant messaging program.
Note:
In order to use Wi-Fi you must have access to a
network (home, school, or corporate) or a service plan
with a network service provider (sold separately by third
party vendors). You must also have proximity to a
wireless
access point.
Tip:
If you are unfamiliar with Wi-Fi terminology or the
Dana interface, we recommend you refer to Appendix A.
It contains definitions of commonly used Wi-Fi terms as
well as a description of Dana interface elements. Wi-Fi
terms defined in the Appendix are indicated in the text by
an underline.
Setup
Setup procedures for Dana Wireless will vary considerably depending
on the Wi-Fi network you are connecting to. For instance, a school or
office might use encryption, while a coffeehouse probably would not.
Dana Wireless will work in both cases, but some additional setup steps
are required when connecting to a network that uses encryption.

2 Setting up Wireless Connectivity
Important:
When setting up Dana Wireless to
connect to a school or corporate network, you will
probably need to ask your network administrator for
the correct network settings.
Basic Wi-Fi setup on Dana Wireless
Basic Wi-Fi setup will be sufficient for most public HotSpots,
homes or small offices. However, if you want to use a specific
access point (by default Dana Wireless tries to connect to the first
access point it can find), a static (fixed) IP address, or encryption,
please see “Advanced Wi-Fi setup on Dana Wireless” on page 4 for
detailed setup procedures.
1. Press the
apps
key repeatedly until you see All in the top right
corner of the Applications Launcher.
2. Tap the Prefs icon.
3. Tap the pick list in the upper-right corner and select
“Network”.
4. Tap the Details button.

5. Tap the Edit button.
Tip:
If you are going to be regularly connecting to
different Wi-Fi networks, you can set up a profile for each
network (up to 4). For example, you could setup profiles
for home, work, and your favorite public access point.
6. Type in an appropriate name for the profile (i.e. Wi-Fi home).
7. Generally when using DHCP you will not need to make changes to
DHCP Addressing. However, if your network administrator told
you to change DHCP Addressing, see “Changing DHCP
Addressing” on page 4 for more information.
8. Tap OK in the Profile Preferences dialog. Tap Done in the LAN
Details dialog.
9. Tap the Connect button to connect to the wireless network now.
Tap here to select a
different profile
Drag your stylus to select the
text, and then type in an
appropriate name.

and must exactly match the name assigned to the access
