Connection Using Windows Xp; Preparation For Wireless Lan Connection; Assigning Parameters - Fujitsu LifeBook E Series Instructions Manual

Connection Using
Windows XP
Flow of Operations
The wireless LAN connection procedure is out-
lined below.
1. Make sure that the personal computer is
ready for the transmission of radio waves
from the wireless LAN.
2. Assign the parameters required for wire-
less LAN connection.
1. Enter the network name (SSID) and
other data.
2. Enter the network key (the key to be used
to encode communications data).
3. Perform setting operations relating to
network connection.
1. Specify TCP/IP as the protocol, and con-
firm the name of the workgroup and other
settings.
2. Enter the data required for file/printer
sharing on the network. Perform this
operation as required.
3. For infrastructure connection, enter data
for the station.
4. Verify that you have been able to con-
nect your computer to the network.
Preparation for Wireless LAN
Connection
This section explains the preparation (parameter
assignment) 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 con-
nection. If there is the administrator of the net-
work, contact the network administrator for data
settings.

Wireless channels 1 to 14 are used for the
IEEE802.11b-compliant wireless LAN
adopted by this personal computer.
To use infrastructure connection, refer to
the manual of the Access Point for the
Access Point-setting procedure.
You do not need to set the channel (fre-
quency band). The channel being used
for the intended wireless LAN network is
detected automatically and your personal
computer communicates through that
channel. When a new ad hoc wireless
LAN network is constructed between the
main units of personal computers, chan-
nel 11 is preassigned as the default.
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. In the case
of infrastructure connection, to use ADSL
(PPPoE) for accessing the Internet, the
MTU size of this personal computer
needs to be changed.
