For ad hoc connection: Assign the same network name to all the personal computers to be connected.
For access point (infrastructure) connection:
Assign the appropriate SSID. The SSID must be identical to the SSID of the access point. Refer to the access point manual, or contact your network administrator.
b. For ad hoc connection, check the following field. For access point (infrastructure) connection,
clear the check mark for the following field:
[This is a
10.Choose the appropriate Network Authentication type. Options are Open, Shared, WPA, or WPA- PSK. Please contact your network administrator for the correct setting.
It is strongly recommended that you enter the network key for encoding communications data. If the network key is not entered, since the network can be accessed from all personal computers containing the wireless LAN function, there is the danger of your data being stolen or damaged by other users.
11.Choose the Data Encryption type. Options are WEP, TKIP, or AES. The latter two encryption methods are available only when the Network Authentication scheme is WPA or
a.Clear the check mark from the [The key is provided for me automatically] check box.
b.Enter data in [Network Key]. Depending on the number of entered characters or digits, whether the key is an ASCII character code or a hexadec- imal code will be identified automatically.
■Use five or thirteen characters to enter the key in the ASCII character code format. The characters that can be used as the “network key” are as fol- lows: 0 - 9, A - Z, _ (underscore), or,
■Use 10 or 26 characters to enter the key in the hexadecimal character code format. The charac- ters that can be used as the “network key” in this case are as follows: 0- 9, A - Z, a - f
For ad hoc connection: Assign the same network key to all the personal computers to be con- nected.
For access point (infrastructure) connection:
Assign the identical network key that is pro- grammed into the access point. For this setting, refer to the access point manual or contact your network administrator.
c. Confirm the Network key by
d. Make sure that the key index used is identical to the key index used by the Access Point(s).
12.Click the [Authentication] tab and then verify the settings of [Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x].
For internal use at an organization such as a com- pany, when access by wireless LAN clients is to be limited using IEEE 802.1x authentication, check the [Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x] check box.
For home use, clear the check mark from [Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x].
For the setting method relating to IEEE 802.1x authentication, refer to the manual of the access point which you are using.
13.After completion of setting operations, click the [OK] button. Processing will return to the [Wire- less Network Connection Properties] window.
14.Verify that the network name entered in step 7 above is added in [Preferred Networks], and then click the [OK] button.
In [Preferred Networks], register only the desired connection settings.
15. Close the [Wireless Network] window.
