Import - Click the Import button to import a profile that has been saved in another location. Select the appropriate file, and click the Open button. Creating a New Profile 1. On the Profiles screen, click the New button to create a new profile. 2. Enter a name for the new profile, and click the OK button. Click the Cancel button to return to the Profiles screen. Figure 7-8 Export - Select the profile you want to save in a different location, and click the Export button.
3. The Network Setting screen will appear next. If your network has a DHCP server, click the radio button next to Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP). Click the Next button to continue, or click the Cancel button to return to the Profiles screen. If your network does not have a DHCP server, click the radio button next to Specify the IP Address. Enter an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS appropriate for your network. You must specify the IP Address and Subnet Mask on this screen.
5. If you chose Infrastructure Mode, then proceed to step 6. If you chose AdHoc Mode, then the Wireless Channels screen will now appear. Select the channel at which the network broadcasts its wireless signal. Then click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen. Figure 7-15 Figure 7-14 Channel - From the drop-down box, select the appropriate channel that corresponds with your network settings.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting 7. The Confirm New Settings screen will appear next shown the new settings. To save the new settings, click the Yes button. To edit the new settings, click the Back button. Common Problems and Solutions This chapter provides solutions to problems usually occurring during the installation and operation of the Wireless-B USB Network Adapter. Read the description below to solve your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.
Can I play computer games with other members of the wireless network? Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network). Refer to the game’s user guide for more information. What is the IEEE 802.11b standard? It is one of the IEEE standards for wireless networks. The 802.11b standard allows wireless networking hardware from different manufacturers to communicate, provided that the hardware complies with the 802.11b standard. The 802.
mission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling.
DHCP supports static addresses for computers containing Web servers that need a permanent IP address. DNS - The domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain name are located and translated into Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember “handle” for an Internet address. DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) - DSSS generates a redundant bit pattern for all transmitted data. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code).
Roaming - In an infrastructure mode wireless network, this refers to the ability to move out of one access point's range and into another and transparently reassociate and reauthenticate to the new access point. This reassociation and reauthentication should occur without user intervention and ideally without interruption to network connectivity. A typical scenario would be a location with multiple access points, where users can physically relocate from one area to another and easily maintain connectivity.
