1. MagicWave Introduction
MagicWave Overview
The MagicWave(SWL-1000X) is a wireless LAN adapter card that provides wireless
connections between PC’s.
The function of the MagicWave SWL-1000AP (Access Point)is to transfer information from a
wired LAN to a wireless LAN and from the wireless LAN back to the wired LAN.
When operating, the MagicWave AP is invisible to most users (Normally, unless the user is an
administrator, the MagicWave AP can not be seen or accessed by users on the network).
The MagicWave is similar to Ethernet, a most widely used network card, but it can be used on
motion when applied to Notebook PC because of the wireless connection.
The MagicWave is designed to operate with IEEE802.11 compliant radio cards, wireless LAN
International Standard, and uses a protocol (CSMA/CA) of collision avoidance method for
protect a collision on the network, so a high speed communication is possible.
The MagicWave supports DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum).
This is a radio technique which scrambles the data prior to transmission and uses a correlation
technique on receive to improve the signal to noise ratio and makes a possibility to
communicate in the office having a wall, a compartment.
The MagicWave provides network driver software to support most of the commonly used
network softwares and diagnostic programs.
Main Characteristic
The MagicWave supports a peer-to-peer communication which makes point-to-point and pointto-multipoint communications possible, which makes the communications between wireless
LAN users easy.
A wireless network can be connected to a wired Ethernet through a network interface called an
Access Point. Since all the protocols for a wired network are supported through an Access
Point, all the services for a wired network are available for a wireless network users.
The MagicWave supports various network softwares. The network driver is supplied to support
most network softwares such as MS Windows for Workgroup3.11, Windows95, Windows NT
3.51 / 4.0, etc.
The SWL-1000N for Notebook PC is small and portable as a roaming function is provided for
users who need network services while maintaining mobility.

Parameter Descriptions
The available parameters are described below.
Some parameters can be ignored but are
assigned by default values.
RADIO RELATED
channel : This field specifies the operating channel for the SWL-1000AP.( The SWL-1000AP
allows from 1 to 13 but the channels used by adjacent AP should be apart by more than 5
channels )
RTS_threshold : This field determines the size of RTS(Request-To-Send)/CTS(Clear-To-Send)
frames and the frames to be used.
Default : 2301
shot_retry : This field specifies the number of the transmission of RTS/CTS which will be
attempted before aborting when the communication between clients is interfered. Note that
RTS/CTS are delivered back and forth between the clients to monitor the channel for the
possibility of communications.
Default : 15
long_retry : This field specifies the number of trials of the data transmission when the channel
or a client causes the cease of data transmissions.
Default : 15
Standard : This field is used for interoperability between multiple IEEE802.11 venders.
Default : off
ACCESS POINT FEATURES
essid : This field is used to name that wireless LAN group when in StructureNet mode. Its
value must be the same as that of clients. So if the roaming is to be supported, the value of
ESS_ID of all the AP should be the same.
Default : wlan
ap_name : This field is a string up to 9 letters and is used to give the SWL-1000AP an
identifier name. This is useful if you have multiple AP on a network for roaming. In this case
the essid for all the AP is the same but you can assign a different “ap_name” to each AP.
Default : LocalAP
37
mode : This field specifies the operating mode of the units. Insert the “Instawave” for  and the “StructureNet” for .
Default : Instawave
protocol : The normal mode of the AP is to pass all protocols. In this case the value of default
of protocol should be “all”. If your wireless stations only use TCP/IP protocol you can set the
value of protocols to “TCP/IP”. In this case non TCP/IP messages are not passed by the AP.
TCP/IP PARAMETERS
IP_address : This field is used to assign a TCP/IP address to the AP and needed when a user
manages the AP by TELNET or uses web manager utilities. A user can access a manage
program for the AP by putting in the assigned IP address on TELNET or WEB BROWSER.
subnet_mask : This field is used to define the TCP/IP sub-net mask. This field should be set if
you plan to use the built in management features of the AP.
Default : 255.255.255.0
gateway : This field is needed to connect to an external network by using the TCP/IP protocol.
SWL-1000AP stores all the IP addresses received from TCP/IP ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) message. If the destination is an IP address instead of a local network,
the packets are sent to a gateway.
Default : 0.0.0.0 ( no gateway )
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
password : This field allows the manager to define the password used by the Command Line
Manager before they can enter commands.
Default : “default”
telnet : This field enables or disables the built TELNET management capability. This field will
not affect a terminal attached via the serial port, which is always enabled when a terminal is
attached. Acceptable values for the field are “on” and “off”.
Default : on

Parameter Descriptions
The available parameters are described below.
Some parameters can be ignored but are
assigned by default values.
RADIO RELATED
channel : This field specifies the operating channel for the SWL-1000AP.( The SWL-1000AP
allows from 1 to 13 but the channels used by adjacent AP should be apart by more than 5
channels )
RTS_threshold : This field determines the size of RTS(Request-To-Send)/CTS(Clear-To-Send)
frames and the frames to be used.
Default : 2301
shot_retry : This field specifies the number of the transmission of RTS/CTS which will be
attempted before aborting when the communication between clients is interfered. Note that
RTS/CTS are delivered back and forth between the clients to monitor the channel for the
possibility of communications.
Default : 15
long_retry : This field specifies the number of trials of the data transmission when the channel
or a client causes the cease of data transmissions.
Default : 15
Standard : This field is used for interoperability between multiple IEEE802.11 venders.
Default : off
ACCESS POINT FEATURES
essid : This field is used to name that wireless LAN group when in StructureNet mode. Its
value must be the same as that of clients. So if the roaming is to be supported, the value of
ESS_ID of all the AP should be the same.
Default : wlan
ap_name : This field is a string up to 9 letters and is used to give the SWL-1000AP an
identifier name. This is useful if you have multiple AP on a network for roaming. In this case
the essid for all the AP is the same but you can assign a different “ap_name” to each AP.
Default : LocalAP
63
mode : This field specifies the operating mode of the units. Insert the “Instawave” for  and the “StructureNet” for .
Default : Instawave
protocol : The normal mode of the AP is to pass all protocols. In this case the value of default
of protocol should be “all”. If your wireless stations only use TCP/IP protocol you can set the
value of protocols to “TCP/IP”. In this case non TCP/IP messages are not passed by the AP.
TCP/IP PARAMETERS
IP_address : This field is used to assign a TCP/IP address to the AP and needed when a user
manages the AP by TELNET or uses web manager utilities. A user can access a manage
program for the AP by putting in the assigned IP address on TELNET or WEB BROWSER.
subnet_mask : This field is used to define the TCP/IP sub-net mask. This field should be set if
you plan to use the built in management features of the AP.
Default : 255.255.255.0
gateway : This field is needed to connect to an external network by using the TCP/IP protocol.
SWL-1000AP stores all the IP addresses received from TCP/IP ARP (Address Resolution
Protocol) message. If the destination is an IP address instead of a local network,
the packets are sent to a gateway.
Default : 0.0.0.0 ( no gateway )
MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
password : This field allows the manager to define the password used by the Command Line
Manager before they can enter commands.
Default : “default”
telnet : This field enables or disables the built TELNET management capability. This field will
not affect a terminal attached via the serial port, which is always enabled when a terminal is
attached. Acceptable values for the field are “on” and “off”.
Default : on
