Wireless Internet Access Defined
Wireless is internet access using radio frequencies as opposed to using
cables. This enables an Southwest patient or guest to bring their own laptop or
wireless device to Southwest and use the Southwest's internet connection from
specified locations.
Hardware and Software Requirements
You can access the wireless network with a laptop, a notebook computer, or a
personal digital assistant (PDA) equipped with an Internet browser and a Wi-Fi
compliant (also known as IEEE 802.11a, b, or g) wireless Ethernet card.
In most devices the card will be installed in the PCMCIA slot on the side of
the computer. Most card manufactures provide software that should be loaded onto
your equipment before installing the card.
Support for Wireless Access
Southwest staff is not available to assist with setting up wireless internet
on your computer; you are responsible for setting up your own equipment.
Wireless connectivity can be complex as a result of the large number of
combinations of laptop, PDA and Web-enabled cell phone makes and models,
wireless cards, and service providers.
If you use an operating system other than those listed here, or if you
experience difficulties that the instructions below do not resolve, please
consult the user manuals for your equipment or contact your laptop or wireless
device provider for further assistance.
