HotSpotz
Introduction
You can use Aireo to find wireless hotspots for your laptop or other wireless device! A
hotspot is a geographic area that is covered by a wireless network, so that Internet access
is made available to any device with a wireless card. The HotSpotz™ application on your
Aireo player locates wireless hotspots in your area.
This section covers:
• Finding Wireless Hotspots
Finding Wireless Hotspots
Finding a wireless hotspot is easy.
1. Press the MODE button until you see
HotSpotz on the display screen and
release the MODE button.
2. Press the Play/Select button to search for wireless hotspots. Aireo scans for
wireless networks. When it finds the network you will see a list of wireless
networks. Aireo displays the signal strength of the wireless network and its WEP
status. Networks that have WEP enabled display WEP indicating that WEP is
required for that wireless network.
Note that some access points use MAC filtering to provide security. Aireo cannot
detect MAC filtering.
Note that if you try to access a wireless network with WEP enabled that is not
associated with your player, you will see the following message:
Failed to connect
See Adding a Wireless Network To Your Player from the SoniqSync Host
for
instructions on adding a WEP enabled wireless network to your player.
3. Select the desired wireless network and press the Play/Select button to view the
signal strength, network name, IP address, and WEP status for the selected
network.
4. To exit, press the MENU or MODE button.
