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.
• 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
10
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
should 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-2200U(Mini USB Adapter) are wireless LAN adapter 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
11
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-2200U both for PDA, 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 98/98SE,ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP
and Windows CE.
• To get further information of Samsung MagicLAN WLAN Card, please visit our website

4. The Program For Setting MagicLAN
4.1 The concept of Profile
TCP/IP settings for the fixed networks/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.
Click ‘Y’ button for yes and the following window will appear. cf) The above message will not
be appeared in the Win XP. Make a Profile with clicking ‘New’ button.
48
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.
3. Select the Operating Mode to use and click the NEXT button.
Default operating mode is Infrastructure.
49
- 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 support the communication among Wireless clients. Due
to the support of communication among Wireless equipment, Ad-hoc Network doesn’t
need Access Point. (cf. 802.11 ad-hoc is satisfied with the 802.11 specification)
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.
50
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.
51
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 appear
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.
52

installed. You can see the icon at the right bottom of your screen. Double clicking that icon
will show you the screen as shown below.
The following describes the meanings of variables shown in the WLAN configuration.
Profile: The arbitrary designation by user. It is the profile name to distinguish each
Profile. So when you set the Profile, you would better choose the name that can
send the contents it has.
Link Status: you Link Status shows a client connection state with AP (In
Infrastructure mode) or with other clients (In 802.11Ad-hoc Mode).
SSID: It represents the name of a group consisting of WLAN users only. It is also
called ESSID.
Operating Mode: There are three Modes. Infrastructure Mode (the connection
among clients through an AP), 802.11Ad-hoc/Ad-hoc Mode (direct connection
among clients)
BSSID: It shows the Physical Address of WLAN card inserted in AP in the
Infrastructure Mode and the Random Generation value in the 802.11 Ad-hoc Mode.
Channel: It shows channel number in use for communication between AP and
client or among clients. When the Network Mode is set to the Infrastructure or
802.11Ad-hoc Modes, it searches a channel automatically.
WEP: Security tool to be used for encryption/decryption of data to be exchanged
between clients or between clients and AP. It denies the authorized access to
network if WEP is enabled.
Power Saving: The Power Saving Mode that prolongs the life of battery.
54
Physical Address: It is the Physical address of WLAN card being used by user.
This is also the MAC address of the WLAN card.
IP Address: Address used to send data from one computer to another to create the
network of several computers. IP address is unique for every network card installed
on a computer to identify it from other computers.
Subnet Mask: It is an address that enables along with an IP Address to share a
network Address within the LAN of company.
Gateway: The network point playing a role as a gateway to enter the other network.
DNS: It is the system that transforms the name of an Internet domain to the
corresponding IP Address. IP Address is actually needed to locate a
computer/server on the Internet.
Adapter Name: It shows the kind of WLAN card that the user is using now.
