UP Mode Settings for Wireless LAN
Enter the UP mode. Then do the procedure below to perform the initial interface settings for IEEE 802.11 a/g. These settings take effect every time the machine is powered on.
You cannot use the wireless LAN if you use Ethernet.
Press the "User Tools/Counter" key.
On the touch panel, press "System Settings".
The Network I/F (default: Ethernet) must be set for either Ethernet or wireless LAN.
Select "Interface Settings".
Press "Wireless LAN". Only the wireless LAN options show.
Communication Mode. Select either "802.11 Ad hoc", "Ad hoc" or "Infrastructure".
SSID Setting. Enter the SSID setting. (The setting is case sensitive.)
Channel. You need this setting when Ad Hoc Mode is selected.
Range: 1 to 14 (default: 11)
The allowed range for the channel settings may vary for different countries.
WEP (Encryption) Setting. The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) setting is designed to protect wireless data transmission. The same WEP key is required on the receiving side in order to unlock encoded data. There are 64 bit and 128 bit WEP keys.
WEP:
Selects "Active" or "Inactive" ("Inactive" is default.).
Range of Allowed Settings:
64 bit: 10 characters
128 bit: 26 characters
Transmission Speed. Press the Next button to show more settings. Then select the transmission speed for the mode: Auto, 11 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 1 Mbps (default: Auto). This setting should match the distance between the closest machine or access point. This depends on which mode is selected.
For the Ad Hoc Mode, this is the distance between the machine and the closest PC in the network. For the Infrastructure Mode, this is the distance between the machine and the closest access point.
11 Mbps: 140 m (153 yd.)
5.5 Mbps: 200 m (219 yd.)
2 Mbps: 270 m (295 yd.)
1 Mbps: 400 m (437 yd.)
