Connections icon from the Taskbar and click View available wireless networks . If wireless networks are found, it indicates that the device is operating properly but the network settings may have a problem. Please check the Network Key (Encryption

Key) and the AP settings .

 Check if there is a device nearby using the same frequency band.

A1 If there is a device nearby using the same frequency band such as another wireless LAN device, wireless video transceiver, microwave oven, plasma bulb, etc., channel interference may occur. If you experience interference from another device, it is recommended changing the AP channel.

A2 When operating in EEE80.11g mode, if there is a IEEE80.11b device operating nearby, you may experience low data rates or even disconnection as it operates in Hybrid mode.

 Check the authentication type.

A A connection may be disconnected after a period of time if the “Use

IEEE 802.1x network authentication” option is selected when IEEE 80.1x authentication is not being used.

View the properties of the corresponding AP in the Wireless

Network Properties. In the

Authentication tab, unselect the “Use

IEEE 80.1x authentication in this network” option.

For detailed information on the authentication server, ask your network administrator.

 Check the AP settings.

A1 Check if the surroundings are appropriate for a wireless LAN.

A wireless LAN connection may be limited by the surrounding environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls and door mats affect the quality of the wireless LAN signal.

You have to install an AP in a high, open position far away from any other radio signal sources.

178

If the AP is excessively far away, or is installed at the end of a building and you are attempting to use the wireless LAN from the other end, you may not be able to use the wireless communication normally because the signal is blocked by obstacles between you and the AP (such as a wall).

A2 Check if the AP operates properly. If the AP is not operating properly, turn it off and on again and try again.

A3 Check if the AP firmware is the latest version. (For more information on the

AP firmware, ask the AP manufacturer or your product provider.)

A4 Check if the AP is properly connected to the network. Connect the LAN cable from the AP to a computer and check if the network is connected properly.

A5 Check the Network Key (Encryption

Key) settings again. If the automatic password converting function

(passphrase function) is enabled and the wireless connection is normal but you cannot send data over the connection, please enter the Network

Key (Encryption Key) manually.

17

A6 Check the AP settings as follows.

If there are multiple APs running at the same time, check the channel setting of each AP. If the interval between the channels of the APs is narrow, you may experience electromagnetic interference. Set the channel numbers of the APs so that the internals between the channels are maximized. (for example, Ch1,

Ch, Ch, Ch1) computer.

It is recommended unselecting the

Hide option of the AP. SSID (Service

Set ID) is a name used to distinguish a wireless LAN from other wireless

LANs.

It is recommended using Long

Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization.

Although some APs support

Short Preamble, there might be a compatibility problem.

Because “Fixed” channel selection is more stable then ‘Auto’ channel selection, “Fixed” channel selection is recommended. It is recommended not using the “Block Any” and “Any

Connection Block” functions. Although these functions block connections at the client side when the network name is Any or Blank , it may cause a compatibility problem.

Q

For more information on the AP settings, see the owner’s manual supplied with the AP.

Although a connection has been established, I cannot connect to the Internet.

 Check the TCP/IP settings.

A If you cannot connect to the Internet but you are connected to an AP, check if the TCP/IP settings are configured properly.

When you are not connected to an

AP, an X mark appears over the

‘Wireless Network Connections’ icon in the Taskbar. If you double-click the icon, the Search for Wireless Connections window appears. Reconnect to a wireless network referring to the descriptions of Connecting to a Wireless LAN in the Using the Network section.

When you are connected to an AP, an

X mark appears over the “Wireless

Network Connections” icon in the

Taskbar. Double-click the icon and check if the IP address is properly allocated on the Support tab. If the

IP address is not properly allocated, the IP address will be displayed as

180 follows; (for example, 1..xxx.

xxx).

If your network does not support

DHCP, you have to manually configure an IP address by asking your network administrator.

In addition, even if your network supports DHCP, the Internet connection may not be available if the

DHCP server fails to allocate an IP address to your computer.

Q I have configured both wired and wireless connections with the same IP address, but the network connections do not work properly.

A You cannot use the same IP address for wired and wireless connections.

To use only one IP address for both wired and wireless connections, you must disable one of them according to your requirements in Network

Connections in the Control Panel.

Q After installing the Wireless LAN

Setting program, the “AEGIS

Protocol (IEEE 802.1x)” protocol appears in the [Local Area Connect

Properties] window.

A The protocol is a security authentication protocol that is automatically installed when the

Wireless LAN Settings program is installed and does not affect the program operation.

Q (For Intel PROSet) After installing

PROSet, I cannot manage my wireless network in Windows.

A When clicking Use Microsoft Client in the Tools menu of the PROSet , you can manage wireless network in

Windows.

An application interface developed to enable Windows application programs to access hardware devices at a very high speed. Since the operating speed of graphics, memory and sound cards must be very fast to provide high quality video and sound for games,

Direct X enables faster control and interaction between applications and hardware devices. By using Direct X, the multimedia performance of Windows has been hugely improved.

Driver

Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating system. An operating system knows the hardware information and controls the hardware.

In general, a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device.

DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)

DVD was developed to replace CD

(compact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least

.7GB while the capacity of a CD is

600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS

(analog) video and supports MPEG compression and digital audio. To play a

DVD, a DVD drive is required.

Firewall

A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication procedure.

Hibernation Mode

A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the

CPU and hard disk off. When canceling

Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.

Icon

This refers to a small image that represents a file that users can use.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 180s.

To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required.

To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows XP uses

TCP/IP as the default protocol.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

There are Passive Matrix and Active

Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT

LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.

Network

A group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.

Notification Area

This refers to the right area of the

Taskbar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.

Power Schemes

This refers to a pre-determined power management option group. For example, you can set the time the computer waits before entering Standby Mode, or before the monitor or hard drive turns off. The settings are saved as a power scheme.

Quick Launch

This refers to a toolbar that can be configured so that you can launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking that icon.

Server

In general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users.

Share

This refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it.

Shared Folder

A folder that can be used by other users on the network.

SSD (Solid State Disk)

This refers to a device that saves information to semiconductors unlike a normal hard disk drive (HDD). There are two types of SSD. One saves data to the DRAM and the other saves data to the Flash Memory. Since there are no mechanical parts, an SSD provides a much better performance than an HDD.

Especially, a Flash Memory-Type SSD provides high reliability and durability.

Network Administrator

A user who plans, configures and manages network operations.

Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administrator.

Sleep Mode

A power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is turned off, the data in memory will be lost.

System File

System Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or moved.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and

PS/. While USB 1.1 supports 1Mbps

(1 million bits per second), USB .0 supports a data rate that is 0 times

(80Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1.

The data rate of USB .0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1. Therefore USB .0 is used for A/V devices supported by IEEE

1 and a nd HDD and CDRW that require a high data rate.

Windows Media Player

A multimedia program included with

Windows. Using this program, you can play a media file, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage media files, and copy files to a portable device, etc.
