[. . . ] · Configure the same name for the network name (SS ID or ESS ID). · Configure the same wireless network key or WEP key, when using "Encryption (WEP security)". · When sending data between Wireless LAN PC cards, make sure to set channel 5 or over as interference may occur if another Wireless LAN PC cards is used nearby. For example, if Wireless LAN PC cards are communicating already on channel 1, then set channel 6. · If no Wireless LAN PC Card is used, you do not have to change the default settings of the transmission channel. · Make sure to consult your Network Administrator should any network related problems occur. In this operation manual, Windows XP Classic View is used as example. When using Windows XP Follow the procedure below to transmit using the 802. 11 AdHoc mode. 1 2 3 4 From the "Start" menu, click "Settings", and then click "Control Panel". Double click "Network Connections", and then double click "Wireless Network Connection". Click the "Advanced" button, and then click the "General" tab. Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)", and then click the "Properties". Click "Use the following IP address", then enter the values of "IP address", "Subnet mask" and "Default gateway", and then click "OK". -17 Enter the following values as an example. IP address Enter 192. 168. 150. 151. Subnet mask Enter 255. 255. 255. 0. Default gateway Enter 192. 168. 150. 1. 5 6 7 Click "Close" to close "Wireless Network Connection Properties". Click If at the above of the display to close "Wireless Network Connection Sta- on the task bar, then click "Advanced Configuration. . . ". is not on the task bar, it will appear by double-clicking "Sharp W-LAN Settings" on "Control Panel". 8 Click the "Configuration" tab. -18 9 Enter the configuration name in "Profile Name". Enter "802. 11 AdHoc mode" here as an example. 10 Select "Peer-to-Peer" in "Network Type". · When connecting to the Network using an Access Point, change the "Network Type" to "Access Point". Click "Apply". The new profile is saved under the entered name. Modifying the saved profile Click the pull down button on the right of the "Profile Name" box. Profiles that can be selected are displayed in a list. Select the profile from the list. The set values are temporarily displayed. Change the set value and click "Apply". The current settings are overwritten. You can also modify a "Default" profile. -22 I Setting the SS ID The SS ID is used by Access Points and Wireless LAN PC Cards to identify a wireless LAN. When transmitting via the "Access Point", it is necessary to set the same SS ID in devices transmitting to each other. Modifying the SS ID 1 2 1 2 Click the pull down box on the right of the "SS ID" box. The SS ID that can be selected are displayed in a list. Select the SS ID from the list and click "Apply" . The selected SS ID is modified. Registering a new SS ID Click the "SS ID" box and enter the SS ID. You can use up to 32 alphanumerical characters. Letters are categorized into capital and small letters. Click "Apply". The entered SS ID is registered. I Wireless Transmission Settings IEEE802. 11b, the standard wireless LAN protocol, defines two modes. With the Wireless LAN PC Card, you can select either "Peer-to-Peer" or "Access Point" to communicate. Transmission with the "Peer-to-Peer" The "Peer-to-Peer" is used when two or more wireless-enabled PC's are used to exchange data directly without an Access Point. In this case the PC's can establish an AdHoc network in which they are the only members and over which they can exchange data. 1 2 Click the pull down menu on the right of the "Network Type" box. Select "Peer-to-Peer" and click "Apply". The mode is changed to "Peer-to-Peer". To exchange data using "Peer-to-Peer", each computer connected to the AdHoc network must also specify the same SS ID and "Peer-to-Peer Channel" in this menu. Transmission with the "Access Point" In "Access Point", all data on the wireless network is directed to an Access Point, which then routes the data to the appropriate Wireless LAN PC Card. The Access Point may also be configured to allow data to be bridged from the wireless network to other wireless networks. 1 2 Click the pull down menu on the right of the "Network Type" box. Select "Access Point" and click "Apply". The mode is changed to "Access Point". · To participate in a wireless LAN in "Access Point", every Wireless LAN PC Card and Access Point must specify the same SS ID. · In "Access Point", all available channels are automatically scanned, so there is no need to specify a channel. -23 Selecting the "Peer-to-Peer Channel" When communicating in "Peer-to-Peer", you must specify a channel on which communications will take place. 1 2 Select the channel you want to set from the box on the right of "Peer-to-Peer Channel". The channels that can be selected are displayed in a list. Click "Apply". The channel is changed to the channel you selected. The "Peer-to-Peer Channel" is displayed in gray in "Access Point". The Access Point changes the channel automatically; therefore it is not necessary to set the channel in the "Access Point". I Setting the Transmit Rate You can specify the speed data is sent by the Wireless LAN PC Card. Setting the Transmit Rate 1 2 Click the pull down button on the right of the "Transmit Rate" box. The transmit rates that can be selected are displayed in a list. Select the transmit rate you want to set and click "Apply". The speed is changed to the selected "Transmit Rate". The transmit rate can be set to: · Fully Automatic ­ your Wireless LAN PC Card chooses the highest available rate providing reliable communications based on the capabilities of the Access Point or Wireless LAN PC Card with communicates and on the received signal quality · Auto 1 or 2 Mb ­ allows only 1 and 2 Mbps operation · 5. 5 Mb ­ allows only 5. 5 Mbps operation · 11 Mb ­ allows only 11Mbps operation Normary, you should choose "Fully Automatic" as the transmit rate. Change the setting, only when a problem occurs. -24 10. 3 "Encryption" Tab The "Encryption" tab lets you enable encryption and set the encryption keys. There are two encryption methods available.
