Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional)
A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that enables communication be-
tween multiple computers using wireless LAN devices.
Using the wireless network connections between computer systems, you can use normal network
functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers.
A wireless LAN card is optional. The model of the wireless LAN card is determined by the relevant
product.
To view the installed wireless LAN card, click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Mainte-
nance > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager.
The wireless LAN connection settings are described on the basis of a Windows XP Service Pack
2 installed computer.
It is recommended using the default settings provided by Windows XP as the wireless LAN set-
tings for Windows XP installed computers.
To setup the wireless card using the software supplied by the wireless LAN card manufacturer,
refer to "Setting up a Wireless Network Setup Using the Wireless LAN Setup Program" (p50).
To use the Wireless LAN, the Wireless LAN must be turned on.
Press the Menu button and press the Wireless LAN ON item to turn it on. If the Wireless LAN
is turned on, the Wireless LAN LED ( ) is lit up.
Wireless Network Connection Types
Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.
1) Access Point (AP)
You can connect to an AP to use the network. This is only possible in an environment equipped with
an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 46.
What is an Access Point (AP)?
An AP is a network device that bridges wired and wireless LANs, and act a s a wireless hub. You
can connect multiple wireless LAN installed computers to an AP.
2) Computer-to-computer (ad hoc)
This is also called a peer-to-peer network.
In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers that
have wireless LAN modules. For details, see “Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-
to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 47.
Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional) 46
Connecting to an Access Point (AP)
This section describes how to connect to an AP. You can access the network when you are connected
to an AP.
For more detailed information, about your network, such as the network key (encryption key),
ask your network administrator.
To connect to an AP, follow these steps:
1Right-click(press and hold the Stylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the Wireless Network
Connections ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.
2Select an AP (E.g. see the Test network diagram below) to connect to and click Connect.
If there is a configured network key for the AP, the Enter Network Key window appears. Enter
the Network Key and click the Connect button.
When on network key is defined for a selected AP, click on Link to display the warning message
box. Then click on Connect again in the box.
Now when Connected is displayed in the right corner of the AP information window, you can
access the network.
Checking the connection status
Move the mouse pointer over the Wireless Network Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar to dis-
play the connection status.
Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional) 47
Connecting to computer-to-computer networks
(peer-to-peer or ad hoc)
In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can connect two or more computers that have
wireless LAN modules. Using this method, a computer that is not connected to the Internet can ac-
cess the Internet through another computer connected to the Internet.
You can connect by completing the following steps:
•Step 1. Set up a computer-to-computer network on a computer.
•Step 2. Connect to the configured computer from other computers.
Step 1. Setting up a computer-to-computer network
1Right-click(press and hold the Stylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the Wireless Network
Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.
2Click Change the order of Preferred Networks.
3In the Wireless Network tab, click Advanced.
4Make sure the 'Automatically connect to non-default network' checkbox is not, selected. Select
'Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only', and click Close.
5In the Wireless Networks tab, click Add.
Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional) 48
6Enter the network name (e.g. samsung), and unselect 'The key is provided for me automatical-
ly'. Enter the encryption key in the Network key field, and click OK.
To prevent a network access from unauthorized user, it is better to configure a network key (en-
cryption key). A network key consists of 5 ~ 13 alphanumeric characters (e.g. magic), or of 10
~ 26 hexadecimal numbers (a hexadecimal number is represented by the numbers '0' to '9' and
the letters 'a' to 'f').
7Check that the configured network name (e.g. samsung) is in the ’Preferred networks’ item,
and click OK.
Now your wireless network setup has been completed.
Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional) 49
Step 2. Connecting to the configured computer
1Right-click(press and hold the Stylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the Wireless Network
Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.
2Select the wireless network name (e.g. samsung) specified in ”Connecting to computer-to-com-
puter networks (peer-to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 47, and click Connect.
3Enter a cryptographic key in the network key box and click Connect.
If the network key is not configured in ”Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-to-
peer or ad hoc)” on page 47, just click Connect, without any keystrokes.
When connected to the wireless network, the system displays Connected in the selected net-
work of the Network Connection window.
Checking the connection status
Move the mouse pointer over the Wireless Network Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, to
display the connection status is displayed.
Connecting to a Wireless LAN (Optional) 50
Setting up a Wireless Network Setup Using the Wireless LAN Setup Program
The procedures to connect to an access point using a wireless LAN configuration program are de-
scribed below. Since the wireless LAN configuration program is included on the System Software
Media, the user has to install the program.
Before Starting!
To use the system software media, the external USB ODD must be connected to the computer.
The following descriptions presuppose that the external ODD is connected.

tion program (ACU: Atheros Client Utility).
Select System Software Media > User Installation > Wireless LAN Driver ReadMe,
click ReadMe and install the program according to the instructions.
2Right-click( press and hold the Stylus Pen for more than 3 seconds) on the wireless LAN con-
figuration program ( ) on the taskbar and select Open Atheros Client Utility.
Alternatively, click Start > All Programs > Atheros Client Utility > Atheros Client Util-
ity.
3In the Profile Management tab, click Scan to search for available wireless networks.
4Select the name of an access point (AP) to connect to from the network name (SSID) and then
click Activate.
5Enter a profile name to be used for the connection and select the security settings of the AP to
be connected to in the Security tab.
The network authentication, encryption type and password of an access point are configured
through the access point management program. For the security information, check the security
settings of an access point or ask your wireless network administrator.
Refer to the following when configuring a WEP key.
•Data encryption (WEP): The IEEE 802.11 WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard
defines two levels of encryption, a 64-bit key (this is sometimes represented by 40bits) and a
128-bit key.
When connecting to an Atheros access point, you can use the 152-bit key (32 hexadecimal
digits or 16 ASCII characters).
•Key index: Select the current encryption key index used by the access point from between
1 to 4.
•Using an encryption key: Enter 5 (for 64-bit) or 13 (for 128-bit) alphanumeric characters
(represented by 0-9, a-z, or A-Z).
6Click OK and then OK again in the Profile Management window.
If the profile is created, the profile appears in the list in the Profile Management tab and the
connection is established using the profile.
