Affirmative 7375 Mode D'Emploi
YEStablet 7375 User Guide—Requirements
REQUIREMENTS
The 7375 features a CompactFlash (CF) slot and a PCMCIA slot. It is anticipated that the PCMCIA interface will
be mostly used to provide the wireless LAN connectivity using either an 802.11b wireless LAN adapter or a Sierra
wireless cellular adapter. The 7375 may also support dialup modem, tethered Ethernet connectivity, and wireless
WAN access.
The 7375 supports offline applications and deployment. However, you may choose to have (as base stations)
802.11b wireless Access Points or Gateways with network (Internet, Intranet, etc.) access to experience the full
capability of the 7375. If your 7375 does not come with a wireless LAN (802.11b) adapter (see OPERATION
NOTES), the 7375 should be used together with an approved wireless network adapter for network access. Please
check with your tablet provider for the appropriate solution.
NOTE: If you elect to use a WLAN adapter where the vendor offers a driver to operate under Windows CE .NET
on an ARM/XScale processor-based platform, you should be able to install the driver onto the 7375 by referring to
the “Software Installation, Development, Synchronization” section in this document. However, software drivers
installed in this manner will need to be re-installed should you clear the system’s volatile memory during a Cold
Reboot process.

Notes for setting up the 802.11b-based wireless communication
• Under the zero configuration design of the wireless 802.11b LAN support under CE .NET, the 7375 will detect
all 802.11b base stations in the vicinity for you to select the base station of your choice for connection.
• The ESSID and WEP Key (if enabled) on the 7375 and the base stations have to match. Zero configuration
will guide the ESSID setup. WEP is “Disabled” as default on the 7375 – it is recommended that you enable
WEP encryption for secure access.
WEP encryption for secure access.
• Click on the wireless LAN icon (see figures below) on the Windows CE Taskbar, to configure the wireless
adapter in the 7375.
• Refer to the base station operating manuals for setting up the 802.11b base stations.
• NOTE: The WLAN network connectivity icon changes appearance as in the following:
Connection Established

(Blinking icon indicates activity)
• NOTE: You will not see any of the above icons in the Taskbar if the network adapter is not detected or
supported by the 7375.
