Using a Wireless LAN Access Area for Easy Connection
When you are in a wireless LAN access area, a notification window lets you know that you can connect to the network. This function provides easy, one-step network setup and login. When you enter a wireless LAN access area, you are automatically notified by a notification window. You must have an account with a service provider before you can use this function to connect to a wireless LAN access area. Be sure to configure the wireless LAN connection settings (SSID/WEP) in advance.
