Network Configuration And Planning

SMC's EZ Connect Wireless Solution supports a stand-alone wireless network configuration, as well as an integrated configuration with 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs.

The SMC2602W PCI adapter can be configured as:

• Ad hoc for departmental or SOHO LANs
  Infrastructure for enterprise LANs

Network Topologies

Ad hoc Wireless LAN

An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with a wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific ad hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio channel.

An ad hoc wireless LAN can be used for a branch office or SOHO operation.

Infrastructure Wireless LAN

The SMC2602W can also provide access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wired and wireless LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PC users, and an access point that is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in its wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via the access point.

The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also doubles the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or more access points.

A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.

Setting the Communication Domain

Stationary Wireless PCs

The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication domain for each SMC2652W access point. For wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID) for the wireless card to the BSS ID of the access point you want to connect to. Check with your administrator for the BSS ID of the SMC2652W access point he wants you to connect to.

Roaming Wireless PCs

A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile workers. More than one access point can be configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely. All SMC2602W PCI adapters and SMC2652W access points within a specific ESS must be configured with the same SS ID.

Before setting up an ESS for roaming, you need to choose a clear radio channel and ideal location for the SMC2652W access points to maximize performance. (Refer to "Using the Wireless LAN Utility" on page 19 for detailed information on installation and usage.)

Configuration And Diagnostic Utility

SMC's EZ Connect Wireless 2602W Wireless adapter provides free optional management software for quick network configuration and easy diagnostics. The diskette labeled "Utility". that comes with the package, contains a user-friendly interface for configuring the EZ Connect Wireless 2602W PC Adapter.

Utility Installation

To install the utility software:

1. Insert the "Utility" setup diskette in your PC's floppy drive (A:).
2. Select "run" from Windows "Start" menu bar.
3. Click on "Browse" to locate the "setup". file of this program.
4. Then click on "OK". to run the setup program.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to finish installation.

Using the Wireless LAN Utility

Once the installation is completed, the configuration utility can be accessed by selecting the "Configuration Utility" icon from the "PRISM 802.11 Wireless LAN" folder.

This configuration software includes the following functions:

Link Information - Allows you to monitor network status.

Configuration - Allows you to configure parameters for the wireless adapter.

Encryption - Provides RC4 security control.

Link Information Screen

When you start the wireless LAN utility, the hardware information window for the SMC2602W is shown on the first folder of the utility windows as shown below. Click on the "Link Information" tab to monitor the network status of the wireless adapter, including the BSS ID, current channel, transmission rate used, transmission/receiving throughput, link quality, and signal strength condition.

Configuration Screen

The Configuration screen allows you to check and modify the configuration of the adapter. The user- configurable parameters are shown as the following figure:

Mode - Set the station operation mode to "AdHoc" for network configurations that do not have any access points, or to "infrastructure" for configurations with access points ("Infrastructure". is the default setting).

SSID - Input an SSID string that you want to connect to ("ANY" is the default setting).

Tx Rate - Indicates the communication rates. Select appropriate transmission speed to match your wireless LAN settings. (Default: Fully Automatic)

WEP - For more secure data transmission, set the "Use Wep" to io128 - bitl8 or ir64 - bitl8 to ensure wireless network security. The advance Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this card to prevent unauthorized access. The 128 - bit setting gives a higher level of security, but the setting must be the same as other clients in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled)

PS Mode - Enable the Power Saving Mode for reducing power loading. (Default: Disabled)

Channel - If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN (see page 17), set the channel number to the same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an access point, then the channel is automatically set to the channel of the access point that the adapter connects to.

Encryption Screen

The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in SMC's EZ Connect Wireless PCI Card is based on an RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data confidentiality are four 10 bit keys for the 64 bit Wep setting (first screen below) and one 26 - bit key for the 128 - bit Wep setting (second screen below). This WEP security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or unexpected intruders. If the WEP is in use, the WEP key is required for connecting to an access point or listening to messages that pass through the air.

To use the WEP function, take the following steps:

1. Select "128 bit" or "64 bit" for the "WEP" field in the "Configuration" folder.
2. Click on the "Encryption" tab to setup security keys

1. Enter your pass phrase and click on the "Generate" button to create security keys.
2. Then click on the "Write" button to save the WEP keys.
3. Select one encrypted key (from Key 1 to Key 4) as your default key.

Troubleshooting

Check the following troubleshooting items before contacting Technical Support.

PCI Compatibility

Some PCI computers are not self-configuring and require you to perform some or all of the following functions by motherboard jumper changes and/or BIOS Setup program configuration:

• Make sure your BIOS correctly supports the PCI Local Bus Specification v2.0 or later and upgrade your computer BIOS to the latest version.
• Verify that the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot and not a slave PCI slot. In some computers the PCI slot must be configured to enable bus mastering. Refer to your PC's manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program to be sure the PCI slot is an enabled bus-master slot.
• In some computers, you may be required to disable Plug, n Play (PnP) in the BIOS Setup program if resources are not properly assigned between installed cards.
• Some computers may require you to reserve interrupts and memory addresses for installed ISA cards to prevent PCI adapters from using the same settings. Refer to your PC's manual and check the PCI BIOS Setup program configuration options for ISA cards.
• Make sure the PCI slot is configured to support INTA.
• Be sure that INTA for the slot is assigned to a free interrupt (IRQ) number.
• If it still does not work, remove the wireless adapter. Delete CW10.sys from c:\windows\system. Then go to "Control Panel" and delete the adapter from your network configuration menu. Restart your PC and reinstall the card as described on page 5.

Network Connection Problems

If the LED on the PCI adapter does not light, or if you Can't access any network resources from the computer. Check the following:

• Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.
• Make sure the computer and other network devices are receiving power.
• The access point you want to attach to may be defective. Try using another SMC2652W access point.
• If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the network, check that you have enabled and configured the service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server, be sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.
• If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured your system for TCP/IP.

If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer in the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure mode, check the following:

• Make sure the SMC2652W access point which the station with is powered on.
• Make sure your wireless station is configured with the same operating radio channel as the SMC2652W.
• If you still can't connect, change the SMC2652W access point and all the stations within the BSS to another radio channel.
• Make sure the BSS ID is the same as the SMC2652W for a station with roaming disabled, or the SS ID is the same as the SMC2652W for a station with roaming enabled.
