MagicLAN Installation 1.1 Introduction Thank you for your purchase of SAMSUNG MagicLAN. Installing this cards allow the computer to join a wireless network based on the IEEE 802.11b (High Data Rate) WLAN standard. You will be surprised how easy for you are a part of the network with no bother of twisted cables. 1.2 Technical Background What is IEEE 802.11?

The IEEE 802.11 specification is a wireless LAN standard developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) committee in order to specify an over an air interface between a wireless client and a base station or Access Point (AP), as well as among wireless clients. Like other IEEE 802 families, IEEE 802.11 specification addresses both Physical (PHY) layer and Media Access Control (MAC) layer. IEEE 802.11 Physical (PHY) Layer At the PHY layer, IEEE 802.11 defines three physical characteristics for WLAN: diffused infrared, direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS), and frequency hopping spread spectrum

(FHSS). While the infrared PHY operates at the baseband, the other two PHYs operate at the 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) band, which can be used for operating wireless LAN devices without the need of end-user licenses. In order for wireless devices to be interoperable, they have to be conforming to the same PHY standard. IEEE 802.11 Media Access Control (MAC) Layer The IEEE 802.11 MAC Layer is mainly concerned with the rules for accessing the wireless medium. There are two network architectures defined: Ad-hoc Network and Infrastructure Network. Ad-hoc Network Ad-hoc Network is an architecture that supports mutual communication among wireless clients only. Since Ad-hoc Network does not support access to wired networks, it does not need an Access Point to be a part of the network. You can use the network immediately after setting up the operating mode by installing the supplied network driver. 9 Infrastructure Network Infrastructure Network is architecture that provides communication between wireless clients and wired network resources. An Access Point (AP) and the associated wireless clients define the transition of data. So a wireless client can access all the services that are available for a regular wired LAN by using an AP. Roaming Roaming is a service that allows wireless clients to use the network in motion by Server Server BSS A BSS B 10 automatically changing the connection from an old Access Point to a new Access Point when the clients enter in a new cell. During roaming the clients may observe the loose connection or delay in accessing the resources of the network. Scanning, Beaconing & ESS ID When a wireless client is initialized, it is necessary for it to find and communicate with the correct group of wireless devices, including AP. At this point, it may search for all the frequency channels and this process is called scanning. There may be multiple APs and networks operating at the same time. It may be necessary to ensure that the station joins with the correct network during the scanning process. To achieve this, each AP is assigned to be part of a logical group called the Extended Service Set (ESS). The name of this logical group is the ESS ID. When roaming is operating, there should be several Access Points as part of the same ESS. After the power on, wireless clients will listen on its default frequency channel. It will be listening for beacons sent by another wireless station or AP. Beacon is a short message containing the ESS ID that will be broadcast roughly ten times a second. When the wireless station hears a beacon and the ESS ID in the beacon matches its own, the client knows that it is on the correct channel and can communicate with its group. If no beacons are seen, or if the ESS ID does not match, the wireless client may move to the next frequency channel and repeat this listening procedure. In case of direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) physical layer, this scanning process occurs at start up and may also occur when the client roams between APs. 1.3 MagicLAN Overview The MagicLAN SWL-2200U(Mini USB Adapter) are wireless LAN adapter that provide wireless connection between computers. The MagicLAN is designed to operate with IEEE 802.11 (wireless LAN International Standard) wireless compliant radio cards and uses a CSMA/CA (Collision Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance) algorithm as the media access scheme, which makes high speed communication (with minimal collision probability) possible. The MagicLAN supports DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) physical layer. This is a radio technique, which scrambles the data prior to transmission and uses a correlation technique on receiver to improve the signal to noise ratio and makes it possible to 11 communicate in the office having a wall and a compartment. The function of the MagicLAN Access Point is to transfer information from a wired LAN to a wireless LAN and vice versa. When operating, the MagicLAN AP is invisible to most users (Normally, unless the user is an administrator, the MagicLAN AP cannot be seen or accessed by users on the network). The SWL-2200U both for PDA, Laptop PC and Desktop PC is small and portable as a roaming function is provided for users who need network services while maintaining mobility. The MagicLAN supports various network software. The network driver is provided to support network software such as, Windows 98/98SE,ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows CE.

- ESSID : represents the name of wireless network group.

- Channel : one of channel values that is used to connect wireless client to AP or another client. If network mode is infrastructure or 802.11 ad-hoc, wireless client searched appropriate channel automatically. However, if network mode is ad-hoc, the channel value of wireless client should be set to be the same as that of another wireless client to connect.

- MAC Address : represents a unique MAC address of MagicLAN card.

- Network Mode : infrastructure to connect other wireless clients through AP, 802.11Ad-hoc/Ad-hoc to connect other wireless clients as a peer-to-peer method. More specific explanation is shown in 'Setting' tab.

- Link Quality : shows the status of link connected to network D.2. Setting Tab You can change the configuration of MagicLAN card. After changing the values, to make sure that the values are applied, click 'OK' button and then PDA needs to power off and on again or to extract the card and reinsert it. D.2.1 ESSID 42 You can change ESSID. Be careful to insert exact ESSID to connect AP or wireless client. Upper and lower characters are distinguishable. If you use 'ANY' or 'any', your system will try to connect to nearby AP or wireless client randomly. D.2.2. Net Mode(Network Mode)

- Infrastructure : is used to connect to network through AP

- Ad-hoc : is used to connect wireless client in network without AP. You can connect to ONLY MagicLAN cards in this mode.

- 802.11 Ad-hoc : is used to connect wireless client in network without AP. You can connect in this mode to wireless LAN cards other than MagicLAN cards that comply with IEEE 802.11b standard. D.2.3. Tx Rate You can choose wireless transmission rate. Default is 'Fully Auto'. D.3. WEP Tab You can use WEP option to encrypt transmission data. After setting WEP values, click 'Write' button, and then PDA needs to power off and on again or to extract the card and reinsert it. Make sure the WEP keys between AP and wireless client must be the same to guarantee encrypted transmission. D.3.1. WEP Mode 43

- Disable : disable WEP mode

- 40 bit : encrypts data with 40bit keys, using 4 key IDs, each of which needs 10 hex values

- 128bit : encrypts data with 128bit keys, using 1 key ID, which needs 26 hex values D.3.2. Authentication Mode You can select one of two modes of authentication. When you want to use WEP, you can change this mode.

- Open : Default value. If you set the values of WEP keys of AP to be different from those of wireless client, communication will fail even though connection to AP succeeds.

- Shared : Only if the values of WEP keys of AP are the same as those of wireless client, communication succeeds. D.3.3. Pass phrase You can generate 40bit or 26bit WEP keys without entering all hex values using the same 'Pass Phrase' between AP and wireless client. After typing pass phrase, click

'Generate' button. Then WEP keys will be generated. This option is used ONLY among MagicLAN products. D.3.4. Key ID You can modify the values of specific WEP key ID. 44 D.4. About Tab You can see the version information of MagicLAN driver and utility program.
