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.
• 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.
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.
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).

Select ‘Remove Configuration Utility Software’ and click Next . and Stop (cf) If you want to just remove the WLAN Card from the PC, click SAMSUNG 11Mbps WLAN PC Card icon the right bottom of your computer screen.
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.
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.
- 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.
5. Select the WEP Mode and Click the Next button. - WEP Mode z This is security tool to protect your DATA from unauthorized users. z 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.
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.
8. Click the Profile name shown in the above window click the Apply button. The settings will be over. If the IP address entered in the system settings is different than the IP address selected under profile name, system IP settings will be changed without rebooting your system.
5. The main configuration of Program During the installation of your SAMSUNG WLAN Card, configuration utility is also 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. z Profile: The arbitrary designation by user. It is the profile name to distinguish each Profile.
z Physical Address: It is the Physical address of WLAN card being used by user. This is also the MAC address of the WLAN card. z 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. z Subnet Mask: It is an address that enables along with an IP Address to share a network Address within the LAN of company.
Clicking the Edit button or the Profile name that was created previously, you can modify that Profile. - Click the WEP button to set the security. . 1. First of all, select the ‘40 bit’. 2. Check the “Generate WEP Key using Passphrase” box and input a certain value (ex.
test1 etc) in the ‘Passphrase’ and click the Generate button. Then it will make four values of keys automatically. 3. Then you set the same value to the WEP of AP. (cf. If you use the WLAN made from other company, you must set the same values in the four keys) - You can set the ‘Power Saving’ and ‘Threshold’ with clicking the Advanced button. 1. Power Saving Mode saves the Battery. (cf.. it can give a lowing of efficiency according to 802.
2. RTS/CTS Threshold Mode is better used in the place surrounded with much RF interference. - Click the TCP/IP to input the IP directly or receive IP automatically. 5.1.4 The ‘Delete’ button Select a profile and click on Delete button to remove that profile. 5.
5.2.1 The ‘Current Status’ button It shows the current state of the WLAN card. (Refer to the ‘ The main configuration of Program’) 5.2.2 The ‘AP Status’ button It shows the current state of AP.
z Model: It shows the name of model. z Version: It shows the version of AP. z Description: It is the name of AP designated by AP manager during AP setup. z NAT: It shows whether the private IP address (NAT server) is enabled or not. z DHCP: It shows whether the DHCP sever is enabled or not. z Clients number: It shows the number of users currently connected with the AP. z Internet connection: It is the connection type with outer network (LAN, ADSL, ISDN etc.).
z Signal: It shows the connection state of Stations with AP or Master Station. z Rate: It shows the Tx Data rates. z WEP: It shows security state with the AP. z BSSID: It represents the Physical Address of AP in the Infrastructure Mode and the Random Generation value in the 802.11 Ad-hoc Mode. z Channel: It shows the currently used channel number. 5.2.4 Statistics It shows the state of the data transmission.
- It works when it is enabled. - The Get Status button shows the updated information obtained from the DHCP server. - The Release DHCP button releases the IP Address that was received from the DHCP server. - The Renew DHCP button is for receiving the IP Address from the DHCP server. 5.3.2 The ‘Options’ button - If you disable the check from the ‘Sound Enable’, you cannot hear the sound whenever you click.
- You can see the Driver and Firmware version for your WLAN card currently in use. - Click the Website to get more information about WLAN.
