1. MagicLAN Installation

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of SAMSUNG MagicLAN. This new Adapter series includes
two different models: SWL-2000N/2100N/2100E for PC Card-compatible computers,
SWL-2000P/2100P for PCI-compatible computers and SWL-2100 for USB-compatible
computers. Installing those cards allow the computer to join a wireless network based on
the IEEE 802.11b (High Data Rate) WLAN standard. You will be surprised how easy for
you are a part of the network with no bother of twisted cables.

1.2 Technical Background

What is IEEE 802.11?

•

The IEEE 802.11 specification is a wireless LAN standard developed by the IEEE (Institute
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) committee in order to specify an
interface between a wireless client and a base station or Access Point (AP), as well as

over an air

among wireless clients. Like other IEEE 802 families, IEEE 802.11 specification addresses
both Physical (PHY) layer and Media Access Control (MAC) layer.

IEEE 802.11 Physical (PHY) Layer

•

At the PHY layer, IEEE 802.11 defines three physical characteristics for WLAN: diffused
infrared, direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), and frequency hopping spread spectrum
(FHSS). While the infrared PHY operates at the baseband, the other two PHYs operate at
the 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band, which can be used for operating
wireless LAN devices without the need of end-user licenses. In order for wireless devices to
be interoperable, they have to be conforming to the same PHY standard.

IEEE 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) Layer

•

The IEEE 802.11 MAC Layer is mainly concerned with the rules for accessing the wireless
medium. There are two network architectures defined: Ad-hoc Network and Infrastructure
Network.

Ad-hoc Network

•

Ad-hoc Network is an architecture that supports mutual communication among wireless
clients only. Since Ad-hoc Network does not support access to wired networks, it does not
need an Access Point to be a part of the network. You can use the network immediately
after setting up the operating mode by installing the supplied network driver.

8

r

Infrastructure Network

•

Infrastructure Network is architecture that provides communication between wireless
clients and wired network resources. An Access Point (AP) and the associated wireless
clients define the transition of data. So a wireless client can access al l the services that are
available for a regular wired LAN by using an AP.

Roaming

•

Roaming is a service that allows wireless clients to use the network in motion by
automatically changing the connection from an old Access Point to a new Access Point
when the clients enter in a new cell. During roaming the clients may observe the loose
connection or delay in accessing the resources of the network.

Scanning, Beaconing & ESS ID

•

When a wireless client is initialized, it is necessary for it to find and communicate with the
correct group of wireless devices, including AP. At this point, it may search for all the
frequency channels and this process is called

scanning

.

There may be multiple APs and networks operating at the same time. It may be necessary to
ensure that the station joins with the correct network during the scanning process. To
achieve this, each AP is assigned to be part of a logical group called the Extended Service
Set (ESS). The name of this logical group is the ESS ID. When roaming is operating, there
may be several Access Points as part of the same ESS.

After the power on, wireless clients will listen on its default frequency channel. It will be
listening for

beacons

sent by another wireless station or AP. Beacon is a short message
containing the ESS ID that will be broadcast roughly ten times a second. When the wireless
station hears a beacon and the ESS ID in the beacon matches its own, the client knows that
it is on the correct channel and can communicate with its group. If no beacons are seen, or if
the ESS ID does not match, the wireless client may move to the next frequency channel and
repeat this listening procedure.

In case of direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) physical layer, this scanning process
occurs at start up and may also occur when the client roams between APs.

1.3 MagicLAN Overview

The MagicLAN SWL-2000P/2100P (for Desktop PCs), SWL-2000N/2100N/2100E (for

•

Notebook PCs) and SWL-2100U(for Desktop PCs and Notebook PCs) are wireless LAN
adapter cards that provide wireless connection between computers.

The MagicLAN is designed to operate with IEEE 802.11 (wireless LAN International

•

Standard) wireless compliant radio cards and uses a CSMA/CA (Collision Sense Multiple
Access with Collision Avoidance) algorithm as the media access scheme, which makes high
speed communication (with minimal collision probability) possible.

10

The MagicLAN supports DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) physical layer. This

•

is a radio technique, which scrambles the data prior to transmission and uses a correlation
technique on receiver to improve the signal to noise ratio and makes it possible to
communicate in the office having a wall and a compartment.

The function of the MagicLAN Access Point is to transfer information from a wired LAN

•

to a wireless LAN and vice versa. When operating, the MagicLAN AP is invisible to most
users (Normally, unless the user is an administrator, the MagicLAN AP cannot be seen or
accessed by users on the network).

The SWL-2000N/2100N/2100E for Notebook PC is small and portable as a roaming

•

function is provided for users who need network services while maintaining mobility.

The MagicLAN Adapter (only PC Card) has an LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the part

•

of the card. The yellow LED will illuminate when the power is supplied and the card is
inserted properly.

The MagicLAN supports various network software. The network driver is provided to

•

support network software such as Windows 95(OSR2), Windows 98/98SE,ME, Windows
NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows CE, Linux

are not supported by USB Card)

The Caution of using the SWL-2000P/2100P

•

1. Make the Antenna of WLAN PCI Card and WLAN PC Card of AP in same direction.

2. The efficiency of communication can be improved by regulating the direction of
WLAN PCI Card and AP.

The Caution of using the SWL-2100U

•

Some problems may occur when you use the other USB equipments, such as PC Camera,

scanner, etc, with the USB Card.

To get further information of Samsung MagicLAN WLAN Card, please visit our website

•

at http://www.magiclan.com to download the respective drivers.

(cf. Win 95(OSR2) and Windows NT 4.0

2. Before the Installation

The following section will assist you in installing your WLAN Adapter successfully. You
will first install software (driver) and then will insert the SWL-2000P/2100P, SWL­2000N/2100N/2100E or SWL-2100U WLAN card, and finally set the network properties to
accommodate resource sharing and select the type of wireless network that you wish to
install. The MagicLAN can easily be installed and used, without bothering to connect
cables for keeping your computer to use network resources, as in case of a wired LAN.

2.1 What is in Your Package?

Please check the contents of the box to make sure everything is included and ready for use.
Here is the list of what you should have in your package:

•

2.2 System Requirement

Operating System: MS Windows 95(OSR2)/98/98SE,ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows

•

2000, Windows CE, Linux

Computer System (both Notebook and Desktop) with a CD-ROM drive

•

For Desktop PC Adapter Card (SWL-2000P/2100P):
