Setting up the Wireless LAN


To set up the Wireless LAN, you will need to obtain some information from your Access Point.

Be sure to get:
 • Specific ESSID if you are using this option
 • Network Type such as 802.11b Ad-Hoc if you are using this option

If you plan to use WEP, be sure to get:
 • Key Length: 40 or 128 bits
 • Authentication Type: Open System or Shared Key
 • Key Setting: Key1, Key2, Key3, and/or Key4

Be sure to set up the Network also. The Wireless LAN requires Network settings to work properly.

Step 1:
Click on the Setting Tab and then scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on the Wireless LAN Setting icon. You'll then see a screen where you'll enter ESS ID information:

If you've installed an Instant Messaging application, this should be accessible also.
