Connect to a Wireless Network

2. Touch Search to find available networks. When the NexGen finds an available network or networks, do any of the following:

   

   Touch Down or Up to highlight the network you want, then touch Connect. If no networks or the network you were looking for is not displayed, touch the Search to search again. Touch Quit sensor to return to the Wireless screen.

3. At the Machine Name and Pass Phrase screen, do the following:

   

   Use your steno keyboard to enter the pass phrase for your network. To write an alphabetical character in a Pass Phrase field, write the steno characters with -FPLT to be upper case letters and steno characters alone to be lower case letters.

   For example, to write a capital V, you might write /SR-FPLT. To write a lower case v, you might write /SR. Use the number bar to write numbers. For example, to write the number 5, you might write the number bar and /A. If you do not have a number bar on your writer, write the steno defined as the appropriate number. If you make a mistake, press /* (asterisk) to delete the previous character or characters.

4. Verify the passphrase is correct. Make sure that there are no spaces in between letters or numbers, you have the correct capitalization and that it fully matches your password on the network.

   Touch the Up sensor to move to the Machine Name to personalize it. When you start CATalyst translation with a WiFi connection, you will be prompted to select your NexGen by name. If you work in an environment where several reporters are using the NexGen with a WiFi connection, you may want to personalize the name of your NexGen. Press /* (asterisk) on your writer to delete the existing name and use your steno keyboard to input the name of your NexGen.

   Once you have the information entered, touch Accept to establish a connection. The WiFi screen displays the status. Touch Cancel to return to the WiFi screen or touch Quit to return to the Setup menu.

   NOTE: It is possible to add a passphrase by creating a dictionary definition of the passphrase in CATalyst. Any unused steno can be used for the passphrase definition. Once created, export the dictionary to the machine, then stroke the definition for the passphrase to enter it into the field.
