 9 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 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 over an air 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), 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.
 10             • 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  BSS ABSS ABSS ABSS A    BSS BBSS BBSS BBSS B    Serve Server
 11 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-2200M/P(MiniPCI/PCI Card) 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.  • 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
 12 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-2200M/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 software such as Windows 95(OSR2), Windows 98/98SE,ME, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows CE and Linux.  • To get further information of Samsung MagicLAN WLAN Card, please visit our website at http://www.magiclan.com to download the respective drivers.
