Connect your WLAN adaptor

Your machine belongs to a new generation of terminals that you can incorporate into a WLAN network using a WLAN USB key.

Your machine’s network radio adaptor transmits data using the radio protocol IEEE 802.11g; it can also be incorporated into an existing IEEE 802.11b network.

When connecting to your machine, only use the approved adaptor. Other transmitting or receiving adaptors may damage your device.

Irrespective of whether you use your machine in an infrastructure or ad-hoc network, you must set up certain network and security parameters (for example, the Service-Set-ID (SSID) and the WEP key). These must match the network’s specifications.

1Plug your WLAN USB key into the USB port of your machine.

Configure your network

We recommend that the settings of your WLAN network should only be changed by a person with a good knowledge of the configuration of your computer.

Creating or rejoining a network

Before attempting to use a WLAN adaptor on your machine, you must enter the parameters that will allow a WLAN network to recognise your machine.

On your machine you will find simple instructions that guide you step by step through the set-up of your network. Just follow them!
