Wireless LAN User's Guide Configuration of the WLAN Device The WLAN Device can be configured to establish wireless network connectivity using one of the following tools: ■ Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) The WZC allows for multiple profile setup and support for most industry standard security solutions. ■ Intel PROSet Software - The Intel PROSet Software allows for multiple profile setup and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions as well as Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX) is contained in this software. ■ Atheros Client Utility - The Atheros Client Utility software allows for multiple profile setups and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions, as well as Cisco Compatible Extensions (CCX), is contained in this software. FLOW OF OPERATIONS 1. Activate the WLAN Device (See Activating the WLAN Device on page 96 for more information). 2. Configure the Wireless Network parameters (Depending upon the configuration tool or utility you are using, see the appropriate section below). ■ Enter the network name (SSID) ■ Choose the appropriate WLAN architecture (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure) ■ Choose Authentication method: Open, Shared, WPA, or WPA-PSK ■ If using static WEP keys, enter static WEP key and choose key index. 3. Configure network settings (Depending upon the configuration tool or utility you are using, see the appropriate section below). ■ TCP/IP settings ■ Workgroup or Domain settings. CONFIGURATION USING WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION TOOL This section explains the procedure to properly configure the WLAN device using the WZC. Pre-defined parameters will be required for this procedure. Please consult with your network administrator for these parameters: Network Name - Also known as the SSID Network Key (WEP) - Required if using static WEP keys. Authentication Type - Open, Shared, WPA, or WPAPSK Procedure 1. Activate the WLAN device using the Wireless On/ Off Switch, the Intel PROSet software, or the Atheros Client Utility. 2. Click the [Start] button first and then [Control Panel]. 3. If the Control Panel is in Category view, switch to Classic view by clicking "Switch to Classic View" which can be found in the left frame of the Control Panel window. 4. Double-click the Network Connections icon. A list of previously configured networks will be displayed. 5. Right-click [Wireless Network Connection] in the list, and then click [Properties] in the menu displayed. 6. Click the [Wireless Networks] tab. 7. Click [Refresh], then choose the correct SSID from the [Available Networks] window. Click [Configure] and proceed to step 8. Please note that only wireless networks that broadcast their SSID will be displayed. If the SSID of the wireless network is not visible, you must manually add it. This can be accomplished by clicking [Add] 8. From within the Association tab configure the appropriate WLAN parameters. Please have ready the following parameters: ■ Network name (SSID) - ASCII string of up to 33 characters used by the WLAN to logically separate wireless networks. ■ Authentication Type - Options include Open, Shared, WPA, or WPA-PSK ■ Network Key - If Authentication Type is Open or Shared, choices are None or WEP. If Authentication Type is WPA or WPA-PSK, choices are WEP or TKIP. Ad Hoc Networks: All computers in an Ad Hoc network must be assigned with the same SSID and 97
