Wiki-based Getting Started Guide (based on Joyride 2037)

Getting Connected

There are multiple ways to connect to the Internet:

• wireless access point (WiFi hotspot);
• “School Server” mesh network;
• “simple” mesh network, which lets you collaborate directly with other XOs;
• wired network (may require an external adapter—e.g., see USB Ethernet adaptors).

You make your connection from the Neighborhood view. Your current connection status is shown on the Frame.

Step 1: Go to the Neighborhood view

Go to the Neighborhood view to connect to an access point.

The Neighborhood view is accessed by clicking on the Neighborhood icon on the Frame or by pressing the F1 key (OLPC hint)
