W ireless L A N User’s Gu id e FCC Interference Statement FCC REGULATO RY INFO RM ATIO N Please note the following regulator y information related to the optional wireless LAN module. Regulatory Notes and Statements Wireless LAN, H ealth and Author ization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions, however, are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices such as mobile phones.
Before Using the W ireless LAN The Integrated Wireless LAN is an optional device available for Fujitsu mobile computers. This manual describes the basic operating prodecures for the W ireless LAN (referred to as the "wireless module" in this manual) and how to set up a wireless LAN network. Before using this wireless module, read this manual carefully to ensure correct operation of the device. Keep this manual in a safe place for reference while using the wireless module.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e Figure A-2. Access Point (Infrastructure) Mode Network Wired LAN Internet ADSL modem, cable modem, or similar Access Point* Wireless LAN * An optional hub for a wired LAN may be required depending upon the type of access point used.
STO PPING TRANSM ISSIO N To use this product inside hospitals, clinics, or airplanes, or in other places where the use of electronic equipment is regulated, stop the transmission of radio waves from the wireless LAN beforehand. Deactivation using the w ireless sw itch The transmission of radio waves from the wireless LAN can be stopped by setting the wireless switch to the Off position. Note that the wireless LAN On/Off switch has no effect on non-wireless LAN models. Atheros Wireless LAN 1.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e Connecting the WLAN FLOW OF OPERATIONS The wireless LAN connection procedure contained in this section is outlined below. 1. 2. 3. Make sure the mobile computer is ready for the transmission of radio waves from the wireless LAN. For further details, see (See Starting Transmission on page 54 for more information.). Assign the parameters required for wireless LAN connection. (See Preparation for wireless LAN connection on page 55 for more information.).
For ad hoc connection: Assign the same network name to all the personal computers to be connected. For access point (infrastructure) connection: Assign the appropriate SSID. The SSID must be identical to the SSID of the access point. Refer to the access point manual, or contact your network administrator. b. For ad hoc connection, check the following field.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e CONNECTION TO THE NETWORK This section explains connection to the network. If there is an administrator of the network, contact the network administrator for data settings. Following this operation, confirm the names of the computer and the workgroup as follows. Confirming the computer and work group names To modify the computer name and/or the work group name, you need to be logged in from Windows as an administrator.
This operation is not required unless the sharing function is to be used. 2. Double-click [ Local disk (C:)] . 3. Right-click the “ work” folder (or whichever folder you want to share), and then click [ Sharing and Security...] in the menu displayed. The [ Folder The folder and printer for which the sharing function has been set will be usable from any personal computer present on the network. Name Properties] window will be displayed.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e 5. Enter the sharing printer name in [Share name]. 6. Click the [OK] button. ■ Mode If access point (infrastructure) connection is in use, “Infrastructure (AP)” will be displayed. If ad hoc connection is in use, “Ad hoc (Peer-to-peer)” will be displayed. ■ Security Displays the encryption type currently used by the radio. ■ Speed Displays the current data rate used by the radio to transmit and receive data.
I P Address Displays the current TCP/IP address assigned to the W LAN adapter. Countr y The countr y with the countr y code for which the radio is configured. Transmit Power Level Displays the current transmit power level of the radio. Network Name (SSI D) Displays the Network Name (SSID) currently used by the radio. Power Save M ode Displays the configured Power Save M ode currently used by the radio. [ Off ] , [ Normal] , or [ M aximum] will be displayed. BSSI D Displays the Basic Ser vice Set Identifier.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e Other settings SETTING OF POWER-SAVING FUNCTION You can set the power-saving function of wireless LAN. Default setting is auto-setting. In case of using the powersaving function, manually control the communication performance. Intel PROSet Wireless LAN: 1. Click [Start] -> [(All) Programs] -> [Intel Network Adapters] -> [Intel(R) PROSet]. The Intel(R) PROSet window will be displayed. 2. Click the [Adapter] tab. 3.
Troubleshooting Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the following table. Problem Unavailable netw ork connection Possible Cause Incorrect netw ork name (SSID) or netw ork key Possible Solution Ad hoc connection: verify that the netw ork names (SSID’s) and netw ork keys (W EP) of all computers to be connected have been configured correctly. SSID’s and W EP key values must be identical on each machine.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e Problem Unavailable network connection (continued) Possible Cause It takes too long to retrieve the network and display the connected computers. Possible Solution Retrieve computers as follow: 1. Click [Start] button, then click [Search]. 2. Click [Computers or people]. 3. Click [Computers on the network]. 4. Input the name of computer to be connected with in [Computer name] and click [Search]. 5. Double-click the icon of connected computer.
W ireless LAN Glossary Access point A designation of wireless LAN network configurations. It indicates a form of communication using an Access Point. For details, refer to “ access point connection” on page 52. Ad hoc A designation for wireless LAN network configuration. It indicates a form of communication limited to those personal computers which have wireless LAN function. For details, refer to “Ad hoc connection” on page 52.
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r ’s G u i d e Open system authentication An 802.11 wireless LAN authentication method. Open System does not exchange any key or other information, it is a simple request by the mobile station to be authenticated without verifying identity. PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) A method of allowing the authentication protocol adopted in telephone line connection (PPP) to be used over an Ethernet. Protocol A procedure or rule of delivering data among computers.
IP address information IP addressing is m uch more complicated than can be briefly explained in this document. You are advised to consult w ith your netw ork administrator for additional information. If IP address is unknown, set IP address as follows: If you have an access point (DH CP server) on the network, set the IP address as follows: [ Obtain an IP address automatically] A DHCP server is a server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers or other devices in the netw ork.
