Chapter 3: 3.1 USING WiJET-G Using the WiJET-G in a Meeting In addition to the obvious convenience with wireless connection, the most important benefit of eliminating the VGA cable in using presentation projectors or monitors is to enable fast handover of the projector or monitor control among multiple meeting participants. The WiJET-G Presentation Session Manager (PSM) provides a simple user interface allowing quick rotation of presentation among multiple presenters.
Figure 3.1 WiJET-G Banner Page The messages will be displayed on the top of this image and consist of two lines. The top line displays the SSID and the channel number of the WiJET-G while the second line reports on the channels currently in use by other 802.11g equipment around the WiJET-G. An example of the messages is given below: SSID=WiJET0001 Channel=6 RF activities detected on other channels (none). There are several variations to the message on the second line.
RF activities detected on other channels (1, 5, 8, 11). WARNING: Interference. Existing channels detected and interference found. The WiJET-G is in a RF noisy environment, you may have trouble connecting and maintaining connections to the WiJET-G even if a connection can be made. Note: WiJET-G updates this information whenever the banner page appears. In a noisy environment, channel information might get outdated quickly since the WiJET-G does not monitor channels continuously.
Figure 3.2 Location of WiJET-G When the WiJET-G PSM starts, it displays the note below about configuring your wireless NIC to link with the WiJET-G: Figure 3.3 Radio Linking Message Once you have acknowledged the above message, the main PSM dialog displays as below, as well as start out a WiJET-G tray icon. Figure 3.4 WiJET-G PSM There are three action buttons in the PSM: “Establish a Session”, “Release the Session”, and “Exit”. Clicking “Exit” will quit the WiJET-G PSM program.
3.5.1 Configure the Wireless Network Adapter Look at the banner page on the projector/monitor screen in your meeting room to determine the SSID and the channel that the WiJET-G is currently set on. The channel number ranges from 1 – 11 for the US or 1 – 13 for Europe. WiJET-G operates as an Access Point, or, AP. It therefore must be set an SSID. When the WiJET-G starts up, its SSID will be displayed on the upper left corner of the monitor/projector.
If your system tray looks like the figure shown in Figure 3.10, your wireless card is not natively supported by Windows XP and you should go to the section above labeled “Manually Configuring the Wireless Adapter”. To configure the natively supported network adapter, double-click the wireless network connection icon in the system tray. You should get a figure much like Figure 3.11. Click the Properties button. A new window much like Figure 3.12 should appear. Figure 3.
Figure 3.13 Wireless Networks tab. Here you will find the various networks that your wireless card has been able to detect. To allow for a connection to the WiJET-G, you must click the “Advanced” button. A figure like Figure 3.14 should appear. Figure 3.14 Advanced Network Settings Window Set the configuration to be “Access point (infrastructure) networks only” and click the “Close” button. Take note of the Preferred Networks area. You should see only ad hoc networks now as in Figure 3.15. Figure 3.
3.6 Start or Resume Your WiJET-G Presentation Session Once you have successfully configured the wireless card to connect to the WiJET-G and when it is your turn to make a presentation, click “Establish a Session” and you should find yourself connected to the WiJET-G. There will be a confirmation window alerting you that your session is on, and your projector or monitor should now display your Desktop.
3.7 Release Your WiJET-G Presentation Session If at any time you wish to release your computer from the WiJET-G, simply bring up the WiJET-G PSM and click on the “Release a Session” button. The wireless connection to the WiJET-G stays alive after clicking the “Release a Session” button so a presenter can quickly get back to another turn of presentation. 3.
Chapter 4: 4.1 WEB-BASED ADMINISTRATION UTILITY Introduction to the Web-Based Administration Utility Along with the software-based PSM available on the install CD, the WiJET-G also has a Web-Based Utility that allows you to configure other aspects of the WiJET-G. This includes change of the banner page, the wireless security/ encryption settings of the WiJET-G, and upgrade of WiJET-G firmware. Warning: Do not power off or disconnect WiJET-G unit while modifying WiJET-G settings.
Once wireless adapter is properly configured, the user should click on STEP2 Get WiJET List to retrieve a list of IP addresses of available WiJET-G’s which have the same SSID and channel. A list of wirelessly active WiJET-G’s will be displayed in a windows as shown in the Figure 4.2.

Figure 4.4: Web Utility Screen 4.3.1 WiJET-G Firmware Version This is the current WiJET-G firmware version. It is important to know which WiJET-G firmware version you have before calling or emailing technical support. 4.3.2 Configuration When you click on the Configuration hyperlink, you should see the following screen as in Figure 4.5. This is where you set the security for the WiJET-G. The description of each feature is as detailed below.
Figure 4.5 Configuration screen WEP enabled: This check box allows users to enable or disable WEP feature. The WiJET-G currently supports only the default (shared) WEP key scheme defined in the 802.11 standard, not the mapped key scheme. A set of four keys needs to be created in the default-key scheme. WEP key length: The 64-bit encryption is currently the 802.11 standard. The 128-bit encryption is supported by equipment from a limited number of vendors.
the “Shared key” option is chosen, the “Encryption” page of the Utility program must be properly filled out. See “Encryption” page for details. Transmission key selection: One of the four default keys needs to be selected for transmitting data frames. The radio can de-encrypt received data encrypted in any one of the four default keys, but it uses only one of the default keys for transmitting its data. Operation Mode: Automatic or Manual.
Reboot WiJET-G: This will reboot the WiJET-G. Note that it will not change the User name or password if you did not click Apply beforehand. 4.3.4 Firmware and Banner Page Upload When you click on the Firmware and Banner Page hyperlink, you should see the web page as shown in figure 4.7. Figure 4.7 Firmware and Banner Page Upload Upload Options: To select which functionality you wish to perform on the WiJET-G, whether it is a firmware upload or a Banner page upload.
Chapter 5: 5.1 TROUBLESHOOTING Unable to Connect or Establish a Session with WiJET-G If you see the screen as in Figure 5.1 while trying to establish a session with WiJETG(s), the possible causes are listed below. Figure 5.1: Target Not Found 1) The SSID of the wireless adapter is not set up to be the same as the WiJET-G’s. 2) The computer’s Wi-Fi Adapter is not set to Ad-Hoc or Peer-to-Peer mode.
due to physical disconnection, for instance, the PCMCIA card was pulled out, user needs to restore the physical connection so that the auto-reconnection attempt can succeed. The presentation screen won’t be updated once the link is lost, unless a reconnection is re-established. However, if link-loss stays for an extended period, the WiJET-G will terminate the reconnection waiting state and display the banner page indicating that a fresh presentation session is ready for being established.
