For ad hoc connection:

Assign the same network

name to all the personal computers to be
connected.

For access point (infrastructure) connection:

Assign the appropriate SSID. The SSID must be
identical to the SSID of the access point. Refer to
the access point manual, or contact your network
administrator.

For ad hoc connection

, check the following field.

For access point (infrastructure) connection

clear the check mark for the following field:

[This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) net-
work; wireless access points are not used.]

10. Enter the WEP key for encoding communications

data.

a. Check the [Data encryption (WEP enabled)]

check box

For ad hoc connection:

Clear the check mark

from the [Network Authentication (Shared
mode)] check box.

For access point (infrastructure) connection:

the access point to be accessed has acquired
shared-key authentication, check the [Network
Authentication (Shared mode)] check box.

For open-system authentication, clear the check

mark. For access point setting, refer to the man-
ual of the access point.

b. Clear the check mark from the [The key is

provided for me automatically] check box.

c. Enter data in [Network Key]. Depending on the

number of entered characters or digits, whether
the key is an ASCII character code or a hexadec-
imal code will be identified automatically.

■

Use five or thirteen characters to enter the key

in the

ASCII

character code format. The char-

acters that can be used as the “network key” are
as follows: 0 - 9, A - Z, _ (underscore), or,

■

Use 10 or 26 characters to enter the key in the

hexadecimal

acters that can be used as the “network key” in

this case are as follows: 0- 9, A - Z, a - f

For ad hoc connection:

Assign the same net-

work key to all the personal computers to be
connected.

For access point (infrastructure) connection:

Assign the identical network key that is pro-
grammed into the access point. For this set-
ting, refer to the access point manual or
contact your network administrator.

d. Confirm the Network key by re-entering the

same data in the [Confirm network key:] field.

e. Make sure that [Key index (advanced)] is set to

“1”. (Any value from “1” to “4” can be assigned

assigned, however).

11. Click the [Authentication] tab and then verify the

settings of [Enable network access control using
IEEE 802.11x].

For internal use at an organization such as a com-
pany, when access by wireless LAN clients is to be
limited using IEEE 802.11x authentication, check
the [Enable network access control using IEEE
802.11x] check box.

For home use, clear the check mark from [Enable
network access control using IEEE 802.11x].

For the setting method relating to IEEE 802.11x
authentication, refer to the manual of the access
point which you are using.

12. After completion of setting operations, click the

[OK] button. Processing will return to the [Wire-

13. Verify that the network name entered in step 7

above is added in [Preferred Networks], and then

click the [OK] button.

14. Close the [Wireless Network] window.

It is strongly recommended that you enter
the network key for encoding
communications data. If the network key
is not entered, since the network can be
accessed from all personal computers
containing the wireless LAN function,
there is the danger of your data being
stolen or damaged by other users.

In [Preferred Networks], register only the
desired connection settings.
