Connecting the WLAN

FLOW OF OPERATIONS

The wireless LAN connection procedure contained in this section is outlined below.

1.Make sure the mobile computer is ready for the transmission of radio waves from the wireless LAN. For further details, see (See Starting Transmission on page 52 for more information.).

2.Assign the parameters required for wireless LAN connection. (See Preparation for wireless LAN con- nection on page 53 for more information.).

Configure network name (SSID).

Configure wireless LAN security parameters as appropriate (e.g., WEP, TKIP, 802.1x/EAP).

3.Perform setting operations relating to network con- nection. (See Connection to the network on page 55 for more information.)

Specify TCP/IP as the protocol, and confirm the name of the work group and other settings.

Enter the data required for file/printer sharing on the network. Perform this operation as required.

For access point (or “infrastructure”) connection, configure the wireless module with appropriate parameters required to associate to the access point network.

Verify that you are able to connect your computer to the network.

PREPARATION FOR WIRELESS LAN CONNECTION

This section explains the preparations required to use the wireless LAN when using the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration Tool. Configuration can also be accomplished using the wireless module (Intel or Atheros) configuration utility.

Assigning parameters

Enter the network name (SSID), the network key, and other data required for wireless LAN connection. If there is the administrator of the network, contact the network administrator for data settings.

W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’ s G u i d e

To use access point (infrastructure) con- nection, refer to the access point manual for the access point-setting procedure.

You do not need to set the channel when using access point (infrastructure) mode. Channel selection is controlled by the access point. In ad hoc networks, channel selection defaults to channel 11; however, channel selection can be man- ually changed if desired. This can be accomplished only when using the client utility.

If it is necessary to change the channel, change the setting of the access point. For the setting procedure, refer to the manual of the access point.

1.Make sure the Wireless LAN switch is switched on.

2.Click the [Start] button first and then [Control Panel].

3.If the Control Panel is in Category view, switch to Classic view by clicking “Switch to Classic View” under Control Panel the left frame. (If you are already in Classic view, “Switch to Category View” will be displayed instead.)

4.Double-click the Network Connections icon. A list of currently installed networks will be displayed.

5.Right-click [Wireless Network Connection] in the list, and then click [Properties] in the menu dis- played. The [Wireless Network Connection Proper- ties] window will be displayed.

6.Click the [Wireless Networks] tab.

7.Click [Refresh], then choose the correct SSID from the [Available Networks] window. Click [Config- ure] and proceed to step 10. If the SSID of your access point does not appear in the list, click [Add]. The [Wireless Network Properties] window will be displayed.

8.Select the Association tab if it is not already selected.

9.Enter the information required for connection to the wireless LAN.

a. Enter the network name (SSID). (i.e., Enter the name of the desired network in less than 33 ASCII characters).
