Connecting to hotspots
A hotspot is a high-speed wireless Internet access point available in public locations such 
as airports, airline clubs, libraries, book shops, and coffee houses.
While you are away from your home office, hotspots let you send and receive e-mail, surf 
Web sites, or access your company’s network.
You usually need to sign up to get access through hotspot connections. During the sign-up 
process, the vendor will provide you with the necessary connection information.
To access any new network, obtain information about the network (such as the SSID, 
password key, and security settings to use) and enter that information. Se
Important 
Before you can print a file across the network, you must install the 
driver for the printer on the computer you are sending the file from. 
You can obtain the printer driver and installation instructions from the 
CD that shipped with your printer or from the manufacturer’s Web site.
Important 
If you want to access your company’s network through a hotspot, 
contact your network administrator for setup information. You will 
probably be routed through a VPN connection for maximum security.
Caution 
Because hotspots typically do not enable any security measures, the 
data that you are sending and receiving may be vulnerable.
Any of the files on your computer that are marked for sharing may 
be accessible to other users on the network.
