network must be assigned with the same SSID and
the checkbox for the field [This is a computer to
computer (ad hoc) network, wireless access points
are not used.] must be checked.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Networks:

The SSID

must be identical to the SSID of the access point(s)
and the checkbox for the following field must be
unchecked [This is a computer to computer (ad
hoc) network wireless access points are not used.]
Refer to the access point manual, or contact your

settings must be identical for all computers in
the Ad Hoc network.

Access Point (Infrastructure Networks):

Network Authentication setting must be config-
ured to match the setting of the Access Point(s).
Please contact your network administrator for
this information.

b. Choose the Encryption method appropriate for

your wireless LAN. Options for Open or Shared
Authentication are None or WEP. Options for
WPA or WPA-PSK are WEP or TKIP.

c. If using static WEP keys, clear the check mark

key to all the personal computers to be
connected.

Access Point (Infrastructure) Networks:

Assign the identical network key that is
programmed into the access point. Please
contact your network administrator for this
information.

e. If using static WEP keys, confirm the Network

key by re-entering the same data in the [Confirm
network key:] field.

f. The Key index used must be identical to the

transmit key used in the Access Point or other
wireless device. This is only applicable when
static WEP keys are used. Please contact your
network administrator for this information.
