Manual Documentation Conventions
Information Icons
Three icons and their associated messages appear in this manual. The information icons are
placed before the step/information they apply to:
Warning:
Indicates the possibility of personal injury.

Warns you of possible damage to equipment or data.
Note:
Informs you of special circumstances.
Technical Information:
Informs you of special requirements or limitations for use of item(s).
Keyboard Conventions
Keys that you need to press to perform certain functions are displayed in the manual in
brackets. For example:

If you need to press two keys at the same time, the key names are shown joined by a plus
sign. For example:

CD-ROM Device Naming Convention

HDD. For instance, if you have one HDD with two partitions, the HDD is drives C: and D: and
the CD-ROM drive is then drive E.

Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional) 43
Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional)
A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that enables
communication between multiple computers at home or a small-size office through wireless LAN
devices.
Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use normal network
functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers. When a computer-to computer network
has been established, a computer that is not connected to the Internet can share the Internet
by accessing another computer connected to the Internet. For details, see “Sharing Internet
Access” on page 53.
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
Maintenance > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager.
The wireless LAN connection settings will be described on the basis of the Windows XP
Service Pack 2 installed computer.
It is recommended using the default settings provided by Windows XP for the wireless LAN
settings for Windows XP installed computers.
To setup using the software supplied by the wireless LAN card manufacturer, refer to
"Wireless Network Setup Using the Wireless LAN Setup Program" (p46).
To use the Wireless LAN, you have to turn the Wireless LAN on first, if it is turned off.
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.
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 possible only in an environment equipped
with an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 44.
What is an Access Point (AP)?
An AP is a network device that bridges wired and wireless LANs, and corresponds to a
wireless hub in a wired network. 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 45.
Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional) 44
Connecting to an Access Point (AP)
This section describes how to connect to an AP. You can use the network when you are

For more detailed information such as the network key (encryption key), ask your network
administrator.
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. Test) to connect to and click Connect.
If there is a configured network key for the AP to connect to, the Enter Network Key
window appears. Enter the Network Key in the window and then click the Connect
button.
When a network key is not defined for a selected AP, click on Link to display the warning
message box. Then click Connect again in the box.

Move the mouse pointer over the Wireless Network Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar,
and the connection status is displayed.
Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional) 45
Connecting to computer-to-computer networks
(peer-to-peer or ad hoc)
In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers
that have wireless LAN modules. Using this method, a computer that is not connected to the
Internet can share the Internet by accessing another computer connected to the Internet.
(Refer to "Sharing Internet Access" on page 53.)
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 on the Wireless Network Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select
View Available Wireless Networks.
2Click Change the order of Preferred Networks.
3On the Wireless Network tab, click Advanced.

automatically'. Enter the encryption key in the Network key field, and click OK.
Connecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional) 46
To prevent a network connection from an unauthorized user, it would be better to
configure a network key (encryption 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 numbers '0' to '9' or 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.

Step 2. Connecting to the configured computer
1Right-click 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-computer networks (peer-to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 45, 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 45, just click Connect, without any keystrokes.
When connected to the wireless network, the system displays Connected in the selected
network of the Network Connection window.
Checking the connection status
Move the mouse pointer over the Wireless Network Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar,

then click Activate.
6Enter 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 setting 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).
7Click 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.
