term 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 LifeBook notebook 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-PCI device (referred to as "WLAN device" in the
rest of the manual). Before 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. M ost of the procedures are
identical. Sections that differ between the two devices
have been noted in the text:



Intel PRO Set Wireless LAN ( WM 3B2915ABG)



Atheros Wireless LAN (WLL4030)

If your system is an E8020, your wireless module is the
Intel PROSet wireless LAN; if your system is an E8020D,
your wireless module is the Atheros wireless LAN .

Characteristics of the W LAN Device



The WLAN device is a Mini-PC I card attached to the
mainboard of the mobile computer.



It is a dual- band radio that operates in two license- free
RF bands, therefor e eliminating the need to pr ocure an
FCC license to oper ate. I t operates in the 2.4GH z
Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) RF band.
Additionally, the Atheros device operates in the lower
and middle bands of the 5GH z Unlicensed National
Information Infrastructure ( UNI I ) bands.



The Atheros WLAN is capable of three operating
modes, IEE E802.11a, IEE E802.11b and IEE E802.11g,
wireless LAN standards governed by the I EEE ( Insti­tute of Electronics and E lectr ical Engineers). The Intel
WLAN is capable of two operating modes,
IEE E802.11b and IEE E802.11g.



Encoding of data is modulated using Direct Sequence
Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Complementary Code
Keying (C CK ) when the WLAN device is operating in
IEE E 802.11b mode and Orthogonal Frequency D ivi­sion Multiplexing (OFD M ) when operating in
IEE E802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode.



The WLAN device is Wi- Fi certified and operates at
the maximum data transfer rate of 54 Mbps in
IEE E802.11a or IEEE802.11g mode and 11 Mbps in
IEE E802.11b mode.



The maximum communication range indoors is
approximately 80 feet (25 meters). However, that
range will increase or decrease depending on factors
such as number of walls, reflective material, or inter­ference from external RF sources.



The WLAN device supports the following encr yption
methods - WEP, T K IP, and AES encryption.

W IRELESS LAN MO DES USING THIS DEVICE

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 accompl ished usi ng only client devices in
a peer-to-peer fashion. T hat is why Ad Hoc networks are
also known as peer-to-peer networks. Ad H oc networks
are an easy and inexpensive method for establishing
network connectivity between multiple computers.

Ad Hoc mode requires that the SSID, network authenti­cation, and encr yption key settings are identically
configured on all computers in the Ad Hoc network.

Figure 5- 1. Ad Hoc Mode Network

96

E Series.book Page 97 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM

WIreless LAN User’s Guide

Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode

(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. In 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. The Oper­ating System that your mobile computer comes with has
been pre-configured to support the WLAN device.

WIRELESS NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS

■

The Intel WLAN device is a dual-mode wireless net­work card (supports IEEE802.11b/g); the Atheros
device supports IEEE802.11a/b/g.

■

The Intel WLAN device operates in the 2.4GHz ISM
band; the Atheros WLAN device also operates in the 5
GHz lower and middle UNII 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 RF interference.

■

Microwave ovens will interfere with the operation of
WLAN device as microwave ovens operate in the same

2.4GHz frequency range that IEEE802.11b/g devices
operate in. Interference by microwaves does not occur
with IEEE802.11a radio which operates in the 5 GHz
RF band.

■

Wireless devices that transmit in the 2.4GHz fre­quency range may interfere with the operation of
WLAN devices in IEEE802.11b/g modes. Symptoms of
interference include reduced throughput, intermittent
disconnects, and large amounts of frame errors. It is
HIGHLY recommended that these interfering devices
be powered off to ensure the proper operation of the
WLAN device.

DEACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE

Deactivation of the WLAN device may be desired in
certain circumstances (to extend battery life) or where
certain environments require it (i.e. hospitals, clinics,
airplanes, etc.). Fujitsu mobile computers employ two
methods with which to deactivate the WLAN device, 1)
the Wireless On/Off Switch and 2) in Windows using the
Intel PROSet Software or Atheros Client Utility software.

Deactivation using the Wireless On/Off Switch

The WLAN device can be deactivated quickly and effi­ciently by toggling the Wireless On/Off Switch to the Off
position. (Figure 5-3)

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 100·

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.

To check the wave condition, refer to the following page:· “Confirming
the status of the radio waves” on page 105.

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 98.

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.

106

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 103.

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 96.

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.

107

E Series.book Page 108 Wednesday, April 14, 2004 10:28 AM

LifeBook E Series Notebook - Section Five

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)

Computer C: 192.168.100.4 (255.255.255.0)
