Setting Up Wireless Access

The Wireless Setup dialog box allows you to configure the parameters required for wireless wide-band modem access to the enterprise intranet.

A wireless wide-band network device can be used to access the enterprise intranet. The wireless network device connects to a USB port on the thin client and uses short-range wide-band radio to communicate with a wireless access point. Typically, wireless access points are located at several locations in the enterprise within range of the wide-band modems, and connect directly to the enterprise intranet.

Service Set Identification (SSID), Channel, and encryption keys (WEP keys) must be entered in the Wireless Setup dialog box on the thin client. Corresponding entries must also be made in the enterprise access point (except for this, thin client operation is the same as Ethernet direct access, including access to the enterprise DHCP server).

Figure 17 Wireless Setup

Use the following guidelines:

•Network Mode options:

•Infrastructure (default) - This mode of operation requires the presence of an IEEE specification 802.11b-compliant access point. All communication is done through the access point which relays packets to other wireless clients as well as to nodes on a wired Ethernet network.

•Ad Hoc - This is the IEEE 802.11b peer-to-peer mode of operation. In this mode, only one wireless cell is supported for each different Service Set Identification (SSID). All communication is done client-to-client without the use of an access point.

•SSID - Enter the Service Set Identification set up by the network administrator for this wireless communication link.

•Channel - Select the frequency channel (0 through 14) to be used for this wireless communication link (the channel can only be selected in Ad Hoc mode, as the channel is selected based on the relative strength of signals from the available access points in Infrastructure mode).

•WEP Key - Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption can be enabled by selecting one of the keys in the list corresponding to those entered in the Key #1 through Key #4 boxes. Select None if encryption is not required. WEP uses the selected key to
