1. MagicLAN Installation

1.1 Introduction

Thank you for your purchase of SAMSUNG MagicLAN. Installing this cards allow the computer to join a wireless network based on the IEEE 802.11b (High Data Rate) WLAN standard. You will be su rprised how easy for y ou 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 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), an d frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS). While the infrared PHY operates at the baseband , the other two PHYs operate at the 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientifi c, and Medical) b and, wh ich can be u sed for operatin g wireless LAN devices without the need of end-user licenses. In order for wireless devices to be interopera ble, they ha ve to be conforming to the same PHY standar d.

IEEE 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) Layer

•

The IEEE 802.11 MAC Layer is mainly concerned with the rules for accessing the wireless

over an air

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, i t 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 su pplied network driver.

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 all 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

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 th e 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 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

beacons

sent by another wireless station or AP. Beacon is a short message

scanning

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-2210M/P

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.

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 informatio n fro m 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 networ k).

The SWL-2210M/P both for Laptop PC and Desktop PC is small and portable as a

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

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

•

support network so ftware such as Windows 95(OSR2), Windows 98/98SE,ME, W indows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows CE and Linux.

using the mouse

’ on the Network

- TCP/I P settings for the fixed ne tworks/Wired LAN have no problems, as they do not deal with the mobility. But in case of mobile equipments such as WLAN card, when WLAN client has moved from home to Office or vice-versa, the difficulty for using the old TCP/IP settings arises.

- The concept of profile makes it easy to use the same TCP/IP settings for WLAN cards regardless of the movement.

- Profile can be selected again with ease if it were saved. Saving the settings for

WLAN and TCP/IP as a Profile, it is easy for user to select and use one of the saved profiles, especially it can be used quickly without rebooting your computer

while the settings for TCP/IP is updated.

4.2 Installation Procedure

First time use of WLAN on your computer needs the following settings.

1. Insert your WLAN card. After clicking on the icon , which is found at the right bottom your computer screen, “Please create your first network profile now” window will appear. Clic ‘Y’ button for yes an d the following window will a ppear. cf) The a bove message will not be appeared in the Win XP. Make a Profile with clicking ‘N ew’ button

2. Input a profile name in Profile Name and description for your profile name in Description and click the NEXT button, the following window will appear.

Select the Operating Mode to use and click the NEXT button.

Default operating mode is Infrastructure.

- Infrastructure Network is the structure that the communication between Wired LAN and Wireless LAN is feasible. Wireless client is possible to access to the other Network (include Internet) via Access Point.

- Ad-hoc/802.11Ad-hoc Network supp ort the communication among Wireless clients. Due to the support of communication among Wireless equipment, Ad-hoc Network doesn’t need Access Point. (c f. 802.11 ad-hoc is satisfied with the 802.11 speci fication)

4. If you clicked on the Survey, the above window will appear showing you Access Points or Stations (Ad hoc) that are able to connect now. Select the AP that has the highest signal to use as an SSID.

5. Select the WEP Mode and Click the Next button

- WEP Mode

This is security tool to protect your DATA from unauthorized users.

To use the function of WEP, The WEP key settings for client must be same to that

of AP in the Infrastructure Mode, and the WEP key settings must be same for all clients in the Ad-hoc/802.11Ad-hoc Mode.

6. Enter a valid IP address. IP address can be allocated automatically. (cf. it is limited to users who use the DHCP server or ADSL connection). As only checked in “Manage TCP/IP together with Profile”, IP address can be controlled in the Profile. This menu does not appea under MS Windows NT. Click NEXT to see the following window.

7. Showing you the settings selected so far. Click the Finish button. Check on this box. It will work on the system after clicking the Finish button.

8. Click t he P rofile nam e shown i n t he ab ove win dow cl ick the Apply button. The settings will be over . If the IP address entered in the system settings is different than the IP address selected under profile name, system IP settings will be changed without rebooting your system.

5. The main configuration of Program

During the installation of your SAMSUNG WLAN Card, configuration utility is also installed. You can see the icon at the right bottom of your screen. Double clicking that icon will show you the sc reen as shown below.
