Setting Up a Peer-to-Peer
Group Network
NOTE: If you do not have an access point, use this section to
set up your wireless network. If you use an access point, see
"Setting Up an Infrastructure Network" on page 8.
Before you begin, you must first create a Network Name and
an Encryption Key. Your Network Name is case-sensitive and
can contain up to 32 characters and use the characters
0 through 9, a through z, and A through Z. The Encryption
Key is case-sensitive and can be either 5 or 13 characters in
length and use the characters 0 through 9, a through z, and
A through Z. Fill in your Network Name and Encryption Key
here:
Network Name: ___________________________
Encryption Key: ___________________________
NOTE: All computers in this type of network must use the
same Network Name and the same Encryption Key.
Next, perform the procedures in "Setting Up and
Configuring the Mini PCI Card" on page 9:
