How to Use iPad Hotspot

All of our company owned Apple iPad's come with cell data and personal hotspot capability. A personal hotspot lets you share the cellular data connection of your iPad when you don't have access to a wifi network. You can connect to the hotspot from any device with wireless capabilities such as laptops. Please keep in mind that we as a company have a shared data use limit. Your data usage is monitored and if you go over the limit, you and your manager will receive a notification.

First you'll need to activate the hotspot on the iPad. Go to settings app > personal hotspot > check ON "allow others to join". You can also set the hotspot password on this screen.

Once you check on allow others to join, look for the iPad in your list of available wireless networks.

After you see "connected" next to the wireless network name, you are free to browse the internet normally.
