Information on Wireless Networking:
A Wireless network works the same way as a wired network except instead of transmitting information through a wire it transmits through the air in a way nearly identical to a cordless phone (it does not work like a cell phone.) There are several kinds of wireless networks but the one we find most appropriate is 802.11g. “G” is several times faster than the other wireless networking types, which makes it better for fast access to patient records.
 

• Each Tablet PC or Convertible must have an 802.11g wireless networking card installed.
• There must be at least one wireless router that is connected to your normal network or PC to form the wireless connection. If your office is quite large you may need additional wireless routers. Consult with your local hardware expert to determine the number of wireless routers appropriate to cover your office space.
• Most Tablet PC’s, Convertibles and Laptops are set to drop down to half speed when they are unplugged and running on battery. You may find that this is too slow. This is done to save battery power. We suggest that you turn off this power saving feature so that it runs full speed all the time. To do this simply go into Control Panel – Power Options and change the setting from Portable\Laptop to either Always On or Home\Office Desk. This will force the processor to run at maximum speed all the time.
