CONNECTING WINDOWS 2000 SYSTEMS

This chapter describes how to set the wireless LAN connection for computers running Windows 2000.

P O I N T

When you receive your LifeBook, the integrated wireless LAN device and drivers have already been installed. This procedure outlines the steps for setting the device parameters.

Updated drivers and/or utilities may become available after this manual is printed; see any addenda or fliers that may be included in the system packaging.

channel, 1-11, for all connected

 

 

 

 

computers. If there is more than one

 

 

 

 

wireless LAN nearby (such as on the

 

 

 

 

same floor), we recommend that the

 

 

 

 

channels for each LAN be 5 numbers

 

 

 

 

apart (e.g., if there are two other LANs

 

 

 

 

nearby, the channels used should be 1,

 

 

 

 

6, and 11).

 

 

 

 

Infrastructure Network: Not an option.

5.Click the [Encryption] tab.

6.Set the encryption items in accordance with Table 4.

■AdHoc Network: Specify the same value for all the computers for which the encryption key is used for connection.

■Infrastructure Network: Specify the identical encryption keys to the encryption keys set for the access point. For instructions on how to check the encryption keys set for the access point, refer to the access point manual.

P O I N T

Make sure that you specify the encryption keys. If you do not specify the keys, any computer with a wireless LAN card can be connected. This presents a risk that your data may be stolen or destroyed.
