This User Guide describes how to make the settings for your wireless LAN. Notational conventions The meanings of the symbols and fonts used in this manual are as follows: ! i Pay particular attention to texts marked with this symbol. Failure to observe this warning endangers your life, destroys the system, or may lead to loss of data. Failure to follow the instructions may lead to loss of data, invalidate your warranty, destroy the device, or endanger your life. Indicates important information which is required to use the system properly. Text which follows this symbol describes activities that must be performed in the order shown. Text in this typeface indicates screen outputs. Text in italics indicates programme names, commands or menu items. "Quotation marks" indicate names of chapters, disks and other media and terms that are being emphasised. Wireless network as per IEEE 802.11 standard The integrated network card operates in accordance with the IEEE 802.11 standard. Frequencies from the ISM frequency bands are used as a communication medium (ISM, Industrial, Scientific, Medical). The wireless network card may be operated without registration and free of charge. The IEEE 802.11 standard provides several options for using the ISM frequency bands: IEEE 802.11a IEEE 802.11b IEEE 802.11g 5.0 GHz band 2.4 GHz band 2.4 GHz band 54 Mbit/s 11 Mbit/s 54 Mbit/s The wireless networks operating in accordance with 802.11 can easily be connected to existing Ethernet networks. With the exception of a few additional parameters, wireless network cards that operate in accordance with 802.11 are one system with a normal Ethernet card. This means that you can use all protocols via a 802.11 wireless network just as with a cable-connected Ethernet (IP, IPX, NetBIOS,...). The only difference is that you need not lay cables between the computers. The number of all wireless LAN stations that can reach each other directly is generally referred to as a cell. The IEEE standard offers two operating modes - the ad hoc mode (peer-to-peer) and the infrastructure mode. In addition to describing modulation and data framing, this standard includes an authentication and encryption method called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). Many corporations are deploying wireless 802.11 networks. 802.11 networks are beginning to appear in hotels, airports, and other "hotspots" as a means of internet access. A26391-K133-Z131-1-7619, edition 3 1 Wireless LAN (general) Ad hoc mode A wireless LAN in the ad hoc mode, also called peer-to-peer mode, consists of a single closed cell. Ad hoc wireless networks result when a workgroup comes together with its systems and would like to interconnect these for data exchange. Any number of systems can be added to this type of network and can leave it again. So that several ad hoc wireless networks do not interfere with each other in radio traffic, there is a unique network name, the SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSID is used for addressing so that a data packet can always be assigned to a certain cell. If you want to join an existing cell, you require the network name (SSID), which you enter in the settings for the networ ...
