Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional)

A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network envi ronment that enable s communication be ­tween multiple computers at home or a small-size office through wireless LAN devices.

Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use no rmal network function s
such as sharing of files, folders and printers. When a computer-to computer network has been es­tablished, a computer that is not connected to the In ternet ca n share the Intern et by accessi ng an­other computer connected to the Internet. For details, see “Sharing Internet Access” on page 58.

A wireless LAN card is optional. The model of the wireless LAN card is determined by the relevant
product.

To view the installed wireless LAN card, click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Mainte­nance > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager.

The wireless LAN connection settings will be described on the basis o f the Win dows X P Ser vice
Pack 2 installed computer.
It is recommended using the default settings provided by Windows XP for t he w ire les s LAN set ­tings for Windows XP installed computers.
To setup using the software supplied by the wireless LAN card manufacturer, refer to "Wirel ess
Network Setup Using the Wireless LAN Setup Program" (p54).
To use the Wireless LAN, you have to turn the Wireless LAN on first, if it is turned off.
Press the Menu button and press the Wireless LAN ON item to turn it on. If the Wireless LAN
is turned on, the Wireless LAN LED ( ) is lit.

Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.

1) Access Point (AP)

You can connect to an AP to use the network. Th is is possible o nly in an environme nt equipped wit h
an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 50.

What is an Access Point (AP)?

An AP is a network device that bridges wired and wireless LANs, and corresponds to a wireless
hub in a wired network. You can connect multiple wireless LAN installed computers to an AP.

2) Computer-to-computer (ad hoc)

This is also called a peer-to-peer network.
In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers that

have wireless LAN modules. For details, see “Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer­to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 51.

Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional) 49

Connecting to an Access Point (AP)

This section describes how to connect to an AP. You can use the network when you are connected
to an AP.

For more detailed information such as the network key (encryption key), ask your network ad­ministrator.

1 Right-click(press and hold the S tylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the Wireless Network

Connections ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.

2 Select an AP (E.g. Test) to connect to and click Connect.

If there is a configured network key for the AP to connect to, the Enter Network Key window
appears. Enter the Network Key in the window and then click the Connect button.

When a network key is not defined for a selected AP, click on Link to display the warning mes­sage box. Then click Connect again in the box.

Now when Connected in AP is displayed, and you can access the network.

Checking the connection status

Move the mouse pointer over the Wireless Network Connecti on ( ) icon on the taskbar, and
the connection status is displayed.

Connecting to computer-to-computer networks

In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers that
have wireless LAN modules. Using this method, a computer that is not connected to the Internet
can share the Internet by accessing another computer connected to the Internet. (Refer to "Sharing
Internet Access" on page 58.)

You can connect by completing the following steps:

(peer-to-peer or ad hoc)

• Step 1. Set up a computer-to-computer network on a computer.

• Step 2. Connect to the configured computer from other computers.

Step 1. Setting up a computer-to-computer network

1 Right-click(press and hold the S tylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the Wireless Network

Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.

2 Click Change the order of Preferred Networks.

3 On the Wireless Network tab, click Advanced.

6 Enter the network name (e.g. samsung), and unselect 'The key is provided for me automatical-

ly'. Enter the encryption key in the Network key field, and clic k OK.

To prevent a network connection from an unauthorized user, it would be better to configure a
network key (encryption key). A network key consists of 5 ~ 13 alphanumeric characters (e.g.
magic), or of 10 ~ 26 hexadecimal numbers (a hexadecimal number is represented by numbers
'0' to '9' or letters 'a' to 'f').

7 Check that the configured network name (e.g. samsung) is in the ’Preferred networks’ item,

and click OK.

Now your wireless network setup has been completed.

Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional) 52

Step 2. Connecting to the configured computer

1 Right-click(press and hold the S tylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the Wireless Network

Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.

2 Select the wireless network name (e.g. samsung) specified in ”Connectin g to computer-to-com-

puter networks (peer-to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 51, and click Connect.

3 Enter a cryptographic key in the network key box and click Connect.

If the network key is not configured in ”Conne cting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-to­peer or ad hoc)” on page 51, just click Connect, without any keystrokes.

When connected to the wireless network, the system displays Connected in the selected net ­work of the Network Connection window.

Checking the connection status

Move the mouse pointer over the Wireless Network Connecti on ( ) icon on the taskbar, and
the connection status is displayed.

click Activate.

5 Enter a profile name to be used for the connection an d select the secu rity settings of the AP to

be connected to in the Security tab.

The network authentication, encryption type and password of an access point are configured
through the access point management program. For the security information, check the security
settings of an access point or ask your wireless network administrator.

Refer to the following when setting a WEP key.

• Data encryption (WEP): The IEEE 802.11 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard

defines two levels of encryption, a 64-bit key (this is sometimes represente d by 40bits) and a
128-bit key.
When connecting to an Atheros access point, you can use the 152-bit key (32 hexadecimal
digits or 16 ASCII characters).

• Key index: Select the current encryption key index used by the access point from between

1 to 4.

• Using an encryption key: Enter 5 (for 64-bit) or 13 (for 128-bit) alphanumeric characters

(represented by 0-9, a-z, or A-Z).

6 Click OK and then OK again in the Profile Management window.

If the profile is created, the profile appears in the list in the Profile Management tab and the
connection is established using the profile.
