The Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device avail- able for Fujitsu mobile computers. This manual describes the basic operating procedures for the Wireless LAN (referred to as the “device” in this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this device, read this manual carefully to ensure correct oper- ation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the device.

Types of Wireless LANs Covered by this Document

This document is applicable to systems containing one of the following two devices. Most of the procedures are identical. Sections that differ between the two devices have been noted in the text:

■Intel PROSet Wireless LAN

■Atheros Wireless LAN

If your system is a Stylistic S7010, your wireless module is the Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is a Stylistic S7010D, your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN.

Characteristics of the Device

This device consists of a wireless LAN card that is attached inside the computer via a mini-PCI slot.

The main characteristics are as follows:

■It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band; additionally, the Atheros wireless LAN module operates in both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz RF bands.

■It does not require an FCC license to operate.

■It uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS), an RF modulation scheme that is resistant to noise.

■This wireless module is Wi-Fi compliant. The module can communicate at a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps.

■The maximum communication range is approxi- mately 80 feet (25 meters) inside a building. Please note that the range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending upon factors such as obstructions, walls, columns, construction material, and reflective objects.

■The wireless module s support a number of industry- standard security mechanisms, including WEP, TKIP, and 802.1x/EAP (LEAP, TLS, PEAP, MD5).

Wireless LAN Modes Using this Device

Ad Hoc Mode (See Figure 1)

“Ad Hoc Mode” refers to a type of wireless network that involves connecting multiple computers without the use of an Access Point. Network connectivity between computers can be established using only wireless LAN cards in a peer-to-peer fashion.

Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.

In the Ad Hoc mode, you can use the function supported by Microsoft Network, such as File and Print Sharing to exchange files and share a printer or other peripheral devices.

To use Ad Hoc Mode, you must set the same SSID and the same encryption key for all the computers that are connected. Communication between computers in an Ad Hoc network will occur provided they are within each other’s RF coverage area.
