Don't know how to configure wireless card for internet

hi i just move to a new place, and i do not know how to set up my mac for wireless connection. i was given the basic information for the internet to work, and it works for my pc but not on mac. i was given
Network Name (ESS-ID or SSID)
WEP Key Type (Encryption type)
WEP Key Format
WEP Key
where do i go to fill in these info for internet?
please teach me what i m missing for i m not familiar with network. thank u.

Airport is what Apple's trade name is for 802.11 wireless. If you have wireless in the computer, you have Airport. To see if you have Airport, on your menu bar, go under the  and choose "About This Mac." Click on "More Info." About midway down the list on the left, you'll see "Airport." Click on it. That will tell you whether you are wireless-capable or not.
If you do not have Airport, you will need to tether up to the router directly using an ethernet cable if you want internet access or else upgrade the computer with an Airport Extreme card.
If you do have Airport, on your menu bar, go under the  and choose System Preferences > Network >Show: > Airport>. Click on Network. If "locked," click on the padlock (lower left corner) to authenticate. Once authenticated, click on Show: and choose Airport. Click on Advanced (lower right corner). Click on "+" below "Preferred Networks" window. Answer the questions that you are asked, which will cover those four items (SSID and WEP info).
(Texas Mac Man: that link points to a guide for the Airport Express stand-alone wireless access point using /Applications/Utilities/Airport Utility, not for how to configure your Mac's built-in Airport Extreme card via System Preferences > Network. I could be wrong but I think annie.ryu is wanting information to configure the computer's Airport/Airport Extreme card via Sys Prefs' Network panel)

  • Hi, I've checked how to use kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. For eg, Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara? How to write this?

    Hi, I've checked how to use Kannada keyboard in Yosemite. But, there are some 'vattu forms' and other grammar in Kannada language that I don't know how to use it. I know how to change between the keyboards and can also view keyboard. However, For eg, 'Preetiya taatanige nimma muddu mommagalu maduva namaskara' How to write this? If anybody can answer this, very much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    In general, you need to use the "f" (kannada qwerty keyboard) or "d" key (kannada) between letters to make special forms.  Also you may need to adjust the typography settings of the font, which is done by doing Format > Font > Show Fonts > Gear Wheel > Typography as shown below.  If you can provide screenshots or more detailed info on things you cannot make, I can perhaps help.
    It is important to note that MS Word for Mac does not support Indic scripts -- any other app should work OK.

  • If I didn't configured my iPhone 5 when I turned on the first time, I put later, now I don't know how to configure it, how can I do it?

  • Don't know how to setup wireless D-Link router

    I just bought a D-Link Wireless Router WBR-1310.
    It is running, connect throught Ethernet to a high speed modem,
    two computers are connected to the router with Ethernet cables (iMac on Mac OS 10.5.6 - G4 on Mac OS 10.4.11).
    I don't use it in wireless mode because I don't understand how to do it (the manual mentions nothing about mac computers I don't understand why).
    I want to disconnect my Ethernet cables (except the one between the modem and the router)
    and use just the wireless mode for the 2 macs. What do I do?
    I turned on AirPort on the iMac, disconnected the Ethernet cable but nothing works
    (I loose the connection to Internet). When I select Airport it gives me a list of satellite names
    and what not. I don't get it.
    Should be easy, what should I do exactly.
    I'm afraid to play around with the settings since everything works fine now with cables.
    Thanks

    I don't want to detail all the steps re wireless set up but. 1.The scheme for a Mac is different only in the interface presentation and some minor features. You can certainly get it going on a Mac.
    2. Get hold of a manual for a router that does describe a Mac set up, by download or otherwise and read it to get the general scheme.
    3. Since it is running via the ethernet cable I assume you have the basic ADSL transmission parameters set so it is just a matter of the wireless signals to and from the device and encryption, and then setting the encryption passphrase up in each client card in the computers.
    4. Note the default IP address of the router, and the default administration user name, and default admin password. These should be on the soleplate or in the literature.
    5. Use a browser to browse to said IP address. just http:// then the number set , not www.
    6. Enter admin username and password into pop up box. Do not worry about any 'certificate' warnings. It is a bit of hardware in your house you are going to not a dodgy site.
    7. A website like page will come up. Go through the tabs to get to the one on Wireless and Security. Don't worry about opening pages. It usually needs a specific action to save any change.
    8. You will need to set up probably the country of use,an SSID (station name) maybe stuff about the channel to use. The router will most likely pick suitable defaults for Canada etc if you bought it at home.
    There is little good from not setting a station name or hiding it. Getting that is childs play for a Hacker. Not much use either restricting access to specific hardware (specified by the MAC codes of the device cards)
    9. Choose to set up an 'Infrastructure 'network. That is one with security. Choose to set up WPA2 personal encryption. WEP is to easy to break. 'Enterprise' security needs a dedicated password server.
    10. Now the passwording. The device both uses this as a password proper and then as an encryption key for the traffic. Some routers have a so called easy push button way of setting a password, WPS. My simple mind prefers the direct route After establishing the form of th security pick a passphrase to enter in the WPA2 passphrase box. I use a piece of poetry, stripped of all punctuation and spaces. Can contain non alphanumeric characters. Bfore entering it, write it down. Draw several parallel lines on paper then cut them with verticals number the boxes from 1 to 63. Then enter the passphrase to total 62 characters. More it wont work. Less is less secure. You can pad the end or start if your poetry does not quite fit.
    11. At the completion of the page click to save it.
    12. Now set the passphrase into the wireless sets on the computers. How will depend upon the OS used by the computer. Read the help.

  • I don't know how to print wireless with my HP Photosmart C4795 printer

    How do I print wireless?  It says on the box it came in to just touch one button.  Which Button?
    I thank-you for your help in advance.
    Linda

    The easiest way to print wirelessly is to get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
    When you start this process, make sure the USB cable is NOT plugged into your printer.  When the software asks, choose a Network (or Wireless) installation type.  Plug in the USB cable only when it asks.
    The one button method requires newer wireless routers and you still have to install the software, so the method above is overall more straightforward.
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Don't know how to set current limit for servomotor​s in MID

    My application is to control a servo motor. I�m using PXI-7350, driving a motor (Pittman GM8712F434) with MID-7654. The motor is connected to mechanic parts and mechanic parts are connected to a potentiometer as a feedback. Now, according to the spec of the motor, it said reference voltage 19.1V, inductance 5.4 mH, peak current 1.76 A. So, I set dip switch of MID to 0.85 A for continuous current, 1.70 A for peak current and standard inductance. The motor didn�t move and fault LED lighted. Then I set both continuous and peak current to around 1.7A. The motor still didn�t move and fault LED still lighted. I kept increasing the current until the current hit 3A. It started moving slowly but fault LED still lighted. Final
    ly I set the peak current to 3.5A, the motor ran normally. Come to the questions.
    1. Is the peak current in the spec same as peak current limit in MID? How to determine peak current limit? Because I�m afraid that my little motor is going to burn out.
    2. How to set the continuous current; is it suppose to be half of peak current?
    3. If +10/-10V command voltage(torque limit) gets map to peak current (let say 1.7 A), will +5/-5V be mapped to 0.85? And what happen after 2.7 sec if I set continuous current to 0.85A? Will +5/-5V be mapped to half of 0.85?
    4. How does �2.7 sec� thing works? When I set peak and continuous current to 3.5A and 1.7A, after 2.7 sec motor should run slower or even stop (in my case), but it went nut like it ran at maximum current.
    I set Kp 20 and others zero, everything else is same as default. Thank you, I appreciate your answer.

    infoiupui,
    There are several DIP switches on the front of the MID 7654 that can be toggled to vary the continuous and peak current values for the MID. There is a small panel that can be removed from the lower left corner of the MID. You can look in the manual for the 7654, linked below, to determine the particular settings that you should use to achieve given continuous and peak current values.
    MID-7654/7652 Servo Power Motor Drive User Guide

    Take a look at pages 10 through 13 of this document for information on how to modify those DIP switches to achieve current values that will work with the motor that you are using.
    I am not clear on w
    hat you are referring to when you referred to 2.7 seconds. Could you clarify that for me?
    I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any additional questions on this issue.

  • Urgent: How to Delete all Cards for a Crawler through SQL

    Folks,
    Good morning! I am trying to delete 2 million cards (should have been expired, and makes the search index rebuild take days) in a single folder in the Knowledge Directory in the 6.1 portal. The job to delete the folder ("Apply Later") has been running half of yesterday and then all night with nothing being logged in PTSpy or the joblog, little or no CPU activity.
    Does someone have a DB query that can zap the cards for this crawler? I know how to select the cards for a particular crawler ID, but don't understand how to delete them properly such that all references to those cards in other tables also get removed.
    Much appreciate !!!
    Cheers!
    Edited by: Plumtree on Jan 21, 2009 7:28 AM (fixed an 'oops')

    You obviously are looking for someone who has done and tested this before, which I have not...but when I delete a folder the following happens for each card:
    delete from:
    PTFolderCards
    PTCards
    PTCardProperties
    PTCardSecurity
    PTCardStatistics
    PTMigration
    update:
    PTInternalCardInfo (RefreshDate = null, ExpirationDate = null, RefreshRateUnits = null, RefreshRateNum = -1, MissingDeleteUnits = null, MissingDeleteNum = null)
    PTCardStatus (indexing status set to 3)

    So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB
