Configuration of the WLAN Device

The WLAN device can be configured to establish wire- less network connectivity using the Intel PROSet for Wireless utility. The Intel PROSet for Wireless utility allows for multiple profile setup and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions is contained in this software.

FLOW OF OPERATIONS

1.Activate the WLAN Device (See Activating the WLAN Device on page 91 for more information).

2.Configure the Wireless Network parameters (See Configuration Using Intel PROSet for Wireless Utility, below).

Enter the network name (SSID)

Choose the appropriate WLAN architecture (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure)

Choose Authentication method: Open, Shared, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA- Personal, or WPA2-Personal.

If using static WEP keys, enter static WEP key and choose key index.

3.Configure network settings

TCP/IP settings

Workgroup or Domain settings.

CONFIGURATION USING

INTEL PROSET FOR WIRELESS UTILITY

This section explains the procedure to properly configure the WLAN device using the Intel PROSet for Wireless utility. Pre-defined parameters will be required for this procedure. Please consult with your network administrator for these parameters:

Network Name - Also known as the SSID

Network Key (WEP) - Required if using static WEP keys.

Authentication Type - Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK

Procedure

1.Activate the WLAN device using either the Wireless On/Off Switch or the Intel PROSet for Wireless utility.

2.Click the [Start] button first and then [All Pro- grams].

3.Click the icon [Intel PROSet Wireless] to execute the Intel PROSet for Wireless utility.

4.Click the [Add] button. The General Settings dialog displays.

5.Enter a profile name in the Profile Name field.

6.Enter the network SSID, in the Network Name (SSID) field.

7.Click Infrastructure or Ad Hoc for the operating mode.

8.Click [Advanced].

9.The Mandatory Access Point option is only used if Infrastructure mode is selected. Use this option to connect to a specific access point. Enter the MAC address for the access point. Click OK to save the setting and return to the General Settings page.

10.Click [Next].
