Windows XP

FLOW OF OPERATIONS

The wireless LAN connection procedure
contained in this section is outlined below.
1. Make sure the mobile computer is ready for
the transmission of radio waves from the
wireless LAN. For further details.
2. Assign the parameters required for wireless
LAN connection.
• Enter the network name (SSID) and
other data.
• Enter the network key (the Wired
Equivalent Privacy or WEP key used to
encode 802.11b communications data).
3. Perform setting operations relating to network
connection.
• Specify TCP/IP as the protocol, and
confirm the name of the work group and
other settings.
• Enter the data required for file/printer
sharing on the network. Perform this
operation as required.
• For infrastructure connection, enter data
for the access point. Refer to the manual
of the access point for further details.
• Verify that you are able to connect your
computer to the network.
PREPARATION FOR WIRELESS
LAN CONNECTION
This section explains the preparations required
for the use of the wireless LAN.
Assigning parameters
Enter the network name (SSID), the network key,
and other data required for wireless LAN
connection. If there is the administrator of the
network, contact the network administrator for
data settings.

Wireless channels 1 to 11 are used for
the IEEE802.11b compliant wireless LAN
adopted by this personal computer. If you
are to use infrastructure connection
(network connection via an access point),
a channel number greater than 11 may
have been preassigned or automatically
assigned to the wireless channel to be
used for the access point. In that case,
set the channel of the access point to a
channel number from 1 to 11. For further
details of the setting method, refer to the
manual of the access point you are using.
To use infrastructure connection, refer to
the access point manual for the access
point-setting procedure.
You do not need to set the channel
(frequency band). The channel being
used for the intended wireless LAN
network is detected automatically and
your personal computer communicates
through that channel. When a new ad hoc
wireless LAN network is constructed
between the main units of personal
computers, channel 11 is preassigned as
the default.
If it is necessary to change the channel,
change the setting of the access point.
For the setting procedure, refer to the
manual of the access point. In the case
of infrastructure connection, to use ADSL
(PPPoE) for accessing the Internet, the
MTU size of this personal computer
needs to be changed. For further details,
refer to the manual of the access point.
