NTSC
National TV Standards Commission. The standard for TV broadcast and reception for the USA.
Open system authentication
One of network authentication types for wireless LAN. Since there is no check of network key upon authentica­tion, clients can connect to the access point without submitting correct network keys. However, in case of actual communications, the same network key must be set. Open system authentication is sometimes called Open key authentication.
Operating System
A group of control programs that convert application commands, including driver programs, into the exact form required by a specific brand and model of micro­processor in order to produce the desired results from that particular equipment.
Partition

SDRAM
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
Serial Port
A connection to another device through which data is transferred one bit at a time on a single wire with any other wires only for control of the device not for transfer of data.
Shared key authentication
One of the network authentication types for wireless LAN. Upon authentication, the access point checks whether the same network key is set to the client. If the client uses a wrong network key or the network key itself is not set, authentication is unsuccessful, allowing no communications with the access point.
SMART
Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology (SMART) is an emerging technology that provides near­term failure predictions for hard drives. When SMART is enabled the hard drive monitors pre-determined drive attributes that are susceptible to degradation over time. If a failure is likely to occur, SMART makes a status report available so that the Tablet PC can prompt the user to back up the data on the drive. Naturally not all failures are predictable. SMART predictability is limited to those attributes which the drive can self-monitor. In those cases where SMART can give advance warning, a considerable amount of precious data can be saved.

Before Using the Wireless LAN
This manual describes the procedures required to prop­erly setup and configure the integrated Wireless LAN Mini-PC I device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the rest of the manual). B efore using the W LAN device, read this manual carefully to ensure it's correct operation. Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
W ireless LAN Devices 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 W ireless LAN card (WM3B2200BG or WB3B2915ABG)
Atheros Wireless LAN card (WLL4030)
Characteristics of the W LAN D evice
The WLAN device is a Mini-PCI card attached to the mainboard of the mobile computer.
It is a dual- band radio that oper ates in two license-free RF bands, therefore eliminating the need to procure an FCC license to operate. I t operates in the 2.4 GH z Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (I SM) R F band. Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower and middle bands of the 5 GHz Unlicensed National Information Infrastructure (U N II ) bands (for IEEE 802.11a).
The Atheros and Intel(W M 3B2915ABG) WL AN s are capable of three operating modes, I EE802.11a, I EE802. 11b and IEE E802.11g, wireless LAN standards governed by the I EEE( Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers). T he Intel(WM 3B2200GB) and Broadcom WLAN s are capable of two operating modes, I EEE802. 11b and IEE E802.11g. T he Intel(W M3B2100) is capable of one
operating mode, I EEE802.11b.
Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code Keying (CCK ) when the WLAN device is operating in IEEE 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency Divi­sion Multiplexing (OFDM) when operating in IEEE 802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.
The WLAN device is Wi-Fi cer tified and operates at the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in IEEE 802.11a or I EEE 802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in IEEE 802.11b mode.
The maximum communication range indoors is approximately 80 feet (25 meters). H owever, that range will increase or decrease depending on factors such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter­ference from external RF sources.
The specific W LAN devices support some or all of the following encryption methods - WEP, TK IP, AES, LE AP, EAP-TLS and PEAP encryption.
W IRELESS LAN MODES USING THIS D EVICE
Ad Hoc M ode
(See Figure 5-1)
"Ad Hoc Mode" refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Point(s). Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. That is why Ad Hoc networks are also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad Hoc networks are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing network connectivity between multiple computers.
Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti­cation, and encryption key settings are identically configured on all computers in the Ad H oc network.

Access Point (Infrastructure) M ode
(See Figure 5-2)
Infrastructure mode refers to a wireless network archi­tecture in which devices communicate with wireless or wired network devices by communicating through an Access Point. I n infrastructure mode, wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. Corporate wireless networks operate in infrastructure mode because they require access to the wired LAN in order to access computers, devices, and services such as file servers, printers, and databases.
How to Handle This Device
The WLAN device comes pre- installed in your mobile computer. Under normal circumstances, it should not be necessary for you to remove or re-install it. T he Oper­ating System that your mobile computer comes with has been pre-configured to support the W LAN device.
W IRELESS NETW O R K C ONSIDERATIO NS
The Intel ( WM3B2200BG) and Broadcom WLAN devices are dual-mode wireless network cards (sup­ports IEEE 802.11b/g) ; the Atheros and Intel (WM 3B2915ABG) WLAN devices support I EEE 802. 11a/b/g; the Intel(W M 3B2100) WLAN device supports
802.11b.
The Intel and Broadcom WLAN devices operate in the
2.4GH z I SM band; the Atheros WLAN device also operates in the 5 GHz lower and middle U N II bands.
The maximum range of the WLAN device indoors is typically 80 feet (25 meters). Please note that the max­imum range you achieve may be shorter or longer than 80 feet, depending on factors such as access point transmit power, number and density of obstructions, or external R F interference.
Microwave ovens, cordless phones, and wireless cam­er as may interfere with the operation of WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same 2.4 GH z fre­quency range that I EEE802.11b/g devices operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur with IEEE 802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GH z RF band.
Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4 GH z fre­quency range may interfere with the operation of W LAN devices in I EEE 802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of interference include reduced throughput, intermittent disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. I t is HI GH LY recommended that these interfering devices be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the WLAN device.

Troubleshooting
Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table.
Problem Possible Cause Possible Solution
Unavailable network connection
Incorrect network name (SSID) or network key
Weak received signal strength and/or link quality
The WLAN device has been deactivated or disabled
The computer to be connected is turned off
RF interference from Access Points or other wireless networks
Ad hoc connection: verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network
keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: set the network name (SSID) and network key to the same values as those of the access point.
Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if necessary.
For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following page:·”Assigning parameters” on page 98·
Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.
Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short­ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for better sight.
Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is not checked in “Network setting” window. Refer to “Starting Transmis­sion” on page 96.
Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON.
The use of identical or overlapping RF channels can cause interference with the operation of the WLAN device. Change the channel of your Access Point to a channel that does not overlap with the interfering device.
104
Wireless network authentication has failed
Incorrectly configured network settings
Incorrect IP address configuration
Re-check your Network Authentication, Encryption, and Security settings. Incorrectly configured security settings such as an incorrectly typed WEP key, a mis-configured LEAP username, or an incorrectly chosen authentication method will cause the LAN device to associate but not authenticate to the wireless network.
Recheck the configuration of your network settings.
For the method of checking, refer to the following page:·“Connection to the Network” on page 101.
This only applies to networks using static IP addresses. Please contact your network administrator for the correct settings.

Wireless LAN Glossary
WIreless LAN User’s Guide
Ad Hoc Mode
Ad Hoc Mode refers to a wireless network architecture where wireless network connectivity between multiple computers is established without a central wireless network device, typically known as Access Points. Connectivity is accomplished using only client devices in a peer-to-peer fashion. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 94.
Channel
Range of narrow-band frequencies used by the WLAN device to transmit data. IEEE802.11b/g - 11 channels, 22 MHz wide channels.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
A protocol that provides a means to dynamically allocate IP addresses to computers on a local area network.
DNS (Domain Name System)
A data query service that provides a mechanism with which to translate host names into Internet addresses.
IEEE802.11a
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps. 802.11a devices operate in the 5 GHz lower and middle UNII bands.
IEEE802.11b
Wireless LAN standard that supports a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps. 802.11b devices operate in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
Access point
Wireless network device used to bridge wireless and wired network traffic.
IP address
The logical 32-bit host address defined by the Internet Protocol that uniquely identifies a computer on a network. The IP address is usually expressed in dotted decimal notation.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A LAN or Local Area Network is a computer network (or data communications network) which is confined to a limited geographical area.
MAC address (Media Access Control Address)
A MAC address (also called an Ethernet address or IEEE MAC address) is the 48-bit address (typically written as twelve hexadecimal digits, 0 through 9 and A through F, or as six hexadecimal numbers separated by periods or colons, e.g., 0080002012ef, 0:80:0:2:20:ef) which uniquely identifies a computer that has an Ethernet interface.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)
The maximum size of data which can be transmitted at one time in networks including the Internet. In an envi­ronment whose maximum size of data is too large to correctly receive data, normal communications can be restored by setting the size of MTU to a smaller value.
Network key
Data that is used for encrypting data in data communi­cation. The personal computer uses the same network key both for data encryption and decryption, therefore, it is necessary to set the same network key as the other side of communication.
Network name (SSID: Security Set Identifier)
When a wireless LAN network is configured, grouping is performed to avoid interference or data theft. This grouping is performed with “Network name (SSID)”. In order to improve security, the network key is set allowing no communication unless “Network name (SSID)” coincides with the network key.
Open system authentication
Null authentication method specified in the 802.11 stan­dard that performs no authentication checks on a wire­less client before allowing it to associate.
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet.
Protocol
A procedure or rule of delivering data among computers. Ordered data communication is allowed by making all conditions required for communication including the method of data transmission/reception and actions upon communication errors into proce­dures.

Shared key authentication
802.11 network authentication method in which the AP
sends the client device a challenge text packet that the client must then encrypt with the correct WEP key and return to the AP. If the client has the wrong key or no key, authentication will fail and the client will not be allowed to associate with the AP. Shared key authentica­tion is not considered secure, because a hacker who detects both the clear-text challenge and the same chal­lenge encrypted with a WEP key can decipher the WEP key.
SSID (Service Set Identifier)
Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because the SSID is broadcast in plain text, it does not supply any security to the network.
Subnet mask
TCP-IP network is controlled by being divided into multiple smaller networks (subnets). IP address consists of the subnet address and the address of each computer. Subnet mask defines how many bits of IP address comprise the subnet address. The same value shall be set among computers communicating with each other.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
A standard protocol of the Internet.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is a set of standards for wire­less local area networks (WLAN) based on the IEEE
802.11 specifications. Certified products can use the
official Wi-Fi logo, which indicates that the product is interoperable with any other product also showing that logo.

IP address information
IP addressing is much more complicated than can be briefly explained in this document. You are advised to consult with your network administrator for additional information.
If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows:
If you have an access point (DHCP server) on the network, set the IP address as follows:
[Obtain an IP address automatically]
A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers or other devices in the network. There is no DHCP server for the AdHoc network.
WIreless LAN User’s Guide
If the IP address is already assigned to the computer in the network, ask the network administrator to check the IP address to be set for the computer.
If no access point is found in the network:
An IP address is expressed with four values in the range between 1 and 255.
Set the each computer as follows: The value in paren­theses is a subnet mask.
<Example>
Computer A: 192.168.100.2 (255.255.255.0)
Computer B: 192.168.100.3 (255.255.255.0)
