Wireless Network

A wireless network allows computers to share resources or an internet connection

without using LAN cables between them.

 This description is applied only to the models equipped with wireless LAN cards or

devices.

 A wireless LAN device is optional when purchasing. Click a symbol, +, from Start

> Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware Tab > Device Manager > Network Adapter to check the device type.

 Some of the pictures shown in this description may vary depending on the wireless

LAN device.

 Press the Fn + key and enable the wireless LAN features to use wireless LAN.

Once the wireless LAN is enabled, the wirelss LED

turns on.

Types of Wireless LAN Connections

The types of wireless LAN connections are as follows. The following describes how to use the wireless LAN based on AP connections.

 AP Connections You can connect to the Internet or a

computer on the network by connecting to AP on an AP-enabled network.

What is Access Point (AP)?

AP is a network device that connects

wired LAN to wireless LAN and corresponds to the wireless hub of a

wired network. Also, AP allows you

to connect more than one computer where wireless LAN is enabled.

 Small Ofce Network

The small ofce network interconnects

computers where wireless LAN is enabled wirelessly and is called Peerto-Peer (or Ad HOC). This method

enables the conguration of a small ofce network in one computer.

Then, another computer is connected to the computer wirelessly for communications.

For more information on how to

establish connections, see the information from

Start > Help and

Support > Networking and Web.

When you use Ad-Hoc, you have to

change the McAfee Firewall settings. 136

Connecting to Wireless LAN

If an AP exists near your location, you can easily connect to wireless LAN in the method provided by Windows XP.

The following description is based on Windows XP Service Pack 3; thus, the pictures

may vary.

Click the Wireless Network

Connection icon from the Taskbar

using the right button of the touch

pad. Then, click View Available Wireless Networks.

Select an AP to be connected and

click Connect. If a network key is set in the AP, the

network key input window will appear. Enter the network key in the input window and click OK.

For a network key, contact the network administrator.

Once Connected to AP is displayed,

you can use a wireless network.

To check the network connections

Place the mouse over the Wireless Network Connection icon from the

Taskbar. Then, the status will appear.

Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-to-peer or ad hoc)

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.

You can connect by completing the following steps:

 Step 1. Set up a computer-to-computer network on a computer.  Step 2. Connect to the congured computer from other computers.

Step 1. Setting up a computer-tocomputer network

Right-click on the Wireless Network

samsung), and unselect ‘The key is

provided for me automatically’. Enter

the encryption key in the Network key eld, and click OK.

To prevent a network connection

from an unauthorized user, it would

be better to congure a network key (encryption key). A network key

consists of 5 ~ 13 alphanumeric characters (e.g. magic), or of 10 ~ 26 hexadecimal numbers (ahexadecimal number is represented by numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ or letters ‘a’ to ‘f’).

Check that the congured network

name (e.g. samsung) is in the

’Preferred networks’ item, and click

OK.

Step 2. Connecting to the

congured computer

Right-click on the Wireless Network

Connection icon on the taskbar,

and select Networks.

Select the wireless network

name (e.g. samsung) specied in

Samsung observes the specications regarding strict quality and reliability of LCD But

in spite of that, it is inevitable that there might be a small number of bad pixels. A large number of bad pixels can cause problems in appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn't affect the computer performance. Therefore Samsung observes and manages the following dot principles:

- Bright dot : 2 or less

- Black dot : 4 or less

- Combination of Bright and Dark : 4 or less
