Hi KC:
If you live in a wireless facility, you don't need to worry about
the router. I didn't know Jose's situation, but I believe he
lives in a house, which would require a router, if he wants to
use wireless from home.
Here are the commands you asked about.
When setting up any new account information, do the following:
1. From the Main Menu, press E, S, D, A. You will see "entry
list of Directory of Email Accounts". Press Enter.
2. "Account Name" is the first field. Put anything here that
will help you identify it and press Enter.
3. "User Name" is the next field. Put the first part of your
e-mail address in, up to the "at" part. (sometimes the entire
address is required, but not generally). Press Enter.
4. "Password" is the next field. Write that in, and press
Enter.
5. "Your name" is the next field, so put that in. Press
Enter.
6. "Your e-mail address" is the next field, and the whole
e-mail address is needed. After putting that in, press Enter.
7. "pop server", add this entry and press Enter.
8. "Smtp server", put this in and press Enter.
9. "Smtp authentication required"? This is set to "no" but
most ISP's require them. Press Y for yes and press Enter.
10. Press Escape to add the record.
(Connectivity Side)
Wireless
If you are using a wireless connection, do the following:
1. Put your wireless card in. (If this is the first time
using your wireless card, do a reset with no keys held down.)
2. From Main Menu, press Options, C, W.
3. You will see "wireless card active; currently no."
4. Press Y for yes.
5. Space down to "scan for a network"?
6. Press Enter.
7. You will see "list of available connections."
8. Once you see it, press the Space bar to see a connection.
9. You will be placed into the "configuration items list." The
only thing you'll have to enter is your configuration name.
10. Press Enter. The SSID and all other settings should go
into their default values.
11. If you do not use WEP or other security, you should just
be able to save the configuration "as is", since the BN should
pick up these settings from the router.
12. Press Escape to add the record.
There are always a couple of things to look for, if you're not
making a connection: If your network is not a secure network, you
should be able to connect to any web site. If it is a secure
network, you will need to type in the WEP code which is in your
router I believe. Another dead giveaway is the DNS address. Go
into the connectivity menu and
look for active connection details once you have made your
connection. Look for the first DNS address. There is also a
secondary DNS address but you aren't concerned with that one. If
the DNS address ends in a higher number with the last two
numbers, you don't have a proper connection. Usually the address
ends in 01, 05, or possibly 10 but it won't end in a number
higher than the possible connections your router can handle. If
you only have one or two devices connected to your network and
you are getting a higher number, you don't have a good
connection. Just an indicator to watch for.
The next thing is to determine how your network is secured.
Network Places
If you desire to set up with your computer, do the following:
When asked for a server, type in your computer's name. Press
enter. Leave user name and password blank. Say no when asked if
you want to update default log on information. Press space with
E. You will then be asked for a network place, accept the
default. After that, you should be placed in your computers hard
drive.
Kind Regards,
Rhonda Clark

Dear Rhonda,
As always, your detailed explanation is fantastic! HOwever, I
have a favor to ask. If you still have a copy of the message you
sent Jose, can you please: * setup for "forward;"
* go into your Instructions, and add the QT Commands in
parenthesis?
(If you nolonger have a copy of your message, I can forward it
to you privately.)
KC
P.s. It may be a dumb question, but you mention having a
"router." If one is necessary, don't you need a wireless service
to use these instructions? (I don't have wireless service or a
router, just a WIFI card for use in a facility where "wireless"
is available.)
