FLOW OF OPERATIONS

The wireless LAN connection procedure
contained in this section is outlined below.

the transmission of radio waves from the
wireless LAN. For further details, see (See
Starting Transmission for more
information.).
2. Assign the parameters required for wireless
LAN connection. (See Preparation for
wireless LAN connection for more
information.).
• Setting the protocol and checking the
network
• Setting file and printer sharing
• Checking the connection
3. Perform setting operations relating to
network connection. (See Connection to
the network for more information.)
• Specify TCP/IP as the protocol, and
confirm the name of the work group and
other settings.
• Enter the data required for file/printer
sharing on the network. Perform this
operation as required.

PREPARATION FOR WIRELESS LAN
CONNECTION
This section explains the preparations required
for the use of the wireless LAN.
Assigning parameters
Enter the network name (SSID), the network
key, and other data required for wireless LAN
connection. If there is the administrator of the
W i r e l e s s L A N U s e r 's G u i d e
network, contact the network administrator for
data settings.
To use access point (infrastructure)
connection, refer to the access point
manual for the access point-setting
procedure.
You do not need to set the channel
when using access point
(infrastructure) mode. Channel
selection is controlled by the access
point. In ad hoc networks, channel
selection defaults to channel 11;
however, channel selection can be
manually changed if desired. This can
be accomplished only when using the
client utility.
If it is necessary to change the channel,
change the setting of the access point.
For the setting procedure, refer to the
manual of the access point.
1. Make sure the Wireless LAN switch is
switched on.
2. Click the [Start] button first and then
[Control Panel].
3. If the Control Panel is in Category view,
switch to Classic view by clicking "Switch to
Classic View" under Control Panel the left
frame. (If you are already in Classic view,
