Hello!
Type a U with spacebar when typing all capital letters in computer
braille. You can type that combination twice to turn on all caps. Type
this combination a third time to turn off caps lock. You need to be in a
prompt which requires computer braille or in a text document for this to
work. I discovered this doesn't work in a braille document. I'm using
Keysoft 6.1.1.

Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Wireless network problem
Hello john, Paul,, Don and list,
I had similar problems with connecting to my wireless network with my BN
32. I got the network but couldn't get onto a web site or receive my
Email. I fiddled with it for a week I think. I'm certain Don remembers
that and Paul may also remember my frustration with connecting to my
network. The computer tech who was helping me at the time suggested I
delete the connection configuration completely and reconstruct it from
the beginning. This is very important so if you have more than one
connection configuration in your unit, dump all of them and start
over. I did so but I didn't type everything in. I scanned for available
network and that was found. and that was my network. All fine and good
so far. At this point, your new connection configuration is
created! You need only refine it a bit. You will find that your new
configuration doesn't have a name yet. This is optional but very
useful. You can name it after your network as linksys or whatever name
you put for your network. Rhonda suggests wireless and that isn't a bad
choice till you encounter other networks. Each connection configuration
should have a name. One I set up has the name of a restaurant. The
items in your configuration list are common network settings so I'd leave
them alone for now. While in this review configuration connection, you
need to type backspace with dots 1, 4 on a BT keyboard to change any
options. Go to Use Wep? By default, it says no, change that to yes if
WEP is used on your network. When typing the WEP code into your BN, make
certain it is typed in exactly the way your computer and network has it
entered. My particular wep code has two letters in it in all caps and
the rest is numbers. The two letters are not together, they are
scattered throughout my code. This in itself shouldn't make much
difference, I'm only describing how my WEP code looks. This will continue
to show under the WEP Key option. Don can tell you what it should
consist of. I think it is letters A through F and numbers one through
nine if I'm not mistaken. If you still don't have a connection, disable
the WEP Code in your network and try it. If you are getting on web
sites, you will know that the WEP code issue must be resolved. I would
exit out of your configuration at this time, type Y for yes to save all
changes and you should be good to go.
At this point, I'd go into the configuration menu and look for active
connection details after you have made connection with your network. You
should see the name you gave your configuration connection. You then
should see the status which tells you whether you are connected to your
network or not. I get with my present ambicom card minus 30 DBM for
signal strength. When I used my wife's card, I often got minus 20 or 25
DBM with it. I've averaged minus 30 DBM with my present card. Your next
option to pay very close attention to is the IP address. Mine is
presently showing 192.168.45.101. Your IP address doesn't need to agree
with what I wrote here. It does need to be close to the IP address your
computer on your network is showing. Usually this address should end
with 00, 01, or 02 usually depending on how many devices are connecting
to your network. If you are getting some off the wall number like 156 at
the end or 159 or something totally different than 00, 01 or 02 at the
end, this would mean you won't be able to make a proper connection to go
on line or receive Email. If your IP address is very similar to what
your computer is reading, let's say your computer ends in 00 and your BN
ends with 01, you have a good chance of making good connection to go on
line or get Email. It is possible your numbers may be different from
mine, the fact remains the IP address between your computer and your BN
must be similar or you may not be able to go on line or receive
Email. My computer tech wasn't concerned about the DNS address but I'm
finding it is close to the IP address on mine with 192.168.45.1. Should
all the numbers appear as they should and if they are similar, try going
to a web site first. If all is well, you'll be on that site. If going
on the web works nicely, try your Email. Double check all settings in
your directory of Email Accounts. When you receive Email, you'll be
asked which connection to use. Type enter on your connection
configuration you set up. Then, select your directory of Email acounts,
the last one used will be the one which is suggested. If your Email
comes down properly, you are good to go.
I don't claim to be an expert with setting up networks. I simply
remembered what my computer tech paid attention to. Perhaps one day I'll
learn how to set up a network for myself (grin smile)!
Usually by the time I write a similar message as this, the one having the
problem usually gets it going so hope this happens for you (grin smile)!

John,
Sounds like you may have tried this, but try removing the card prior to
doing the reset. If that doesn't do it, try doing the reset while the
card is still in the unit.
As for the signal strength, the lower the number the better the signal.
If I'm close to my router I can get a signal with a number as low as 27
but 31 or so is more
common.
If I'm a room or two away, the signal can drop to around 50 or so. I've
seen signals which work at about 65 however.
Unfortunately, it's only a relative indicator.
If everything else fails, you might try the reset Paul mentioned with
the record button held down while you press reset.
Note that this will probably require a reset of the clock, but it
appears to be the "ultimate" reset on the MPower which is what I believe
you're using.
