1. 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.
• 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.
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.
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).
2. Before the Installation The following section will assist you in installing your WLAN Adapter successfully. You will install the SWL-2200M/P Card and software(driver & utility), and finally set the network properties to accommodate resource sharing and select the type of wireless network that you wish to install.

3. Select the Operating Mode to use and click the NEXT button. Default operating mode is Infrastructure. - Infrastructure Network is the structure that the communication between Wired LAN and Wireless LAN is feasible. Wireless client is possible to access to the other Network (include Internet) via Access Point. - Ad-hoc/802.11Ad-hoc Network support the communication among Wireless clients. Due to the support of communication among Wireless equipment, Ad-hoc Network doesn’t need Access Point. (cf. 802.
4. If you clicked on the Survey, the above window will appear showing you Access Points or Stations (Ad hoc) that are able to connect now. Select the AP that has the highest signal to use as an SSID. 5. Select the WEP Mode and Click the Next button.
!"This is security tool to protect your DATA from unauthorized users. !"To use the function of WEP, The WEP key settings for client must be same to that of AP in the Infrastructure Mode, and the WEP key settings must be same for all clients in the Ad-hoc/802.11Ad-hoc Mode. 6. Enter a valid IP address. IP address can be allocated automatically. (cf. it is limited to users who use the DHCP server or ADSL connection).
7. Showing you the settings selected so far. Click the Finish button. Check on this box. It will work on the system after clicking the Finish button. 8. Click the Profile name shown in the above window click the Apply button. The settings will be over. If the IP address entered in the system settings is different than the IP address selected under profile name, system IP settings will be changed without rebooting your system.
5. The main configuration of Program During the installation of your SAMSUNG WLAN Card, configuration utility is also installed. You can see the icon at the right bottom of your screen. Double clicking that icon will show you the screen as shown below. The following describes the meanings of variables shown in the WLAN configuration. !"Profile: The arbitrary designation by user.
Profile. So when you set the Profile, you would better choose the name that can send the contents it has. !"Link Status: you Link Status shows a client connection state with AP (In Infrastructure mode) or with other clients (In 802.11Ad-hoc Mode). !"SSID: It represents the name of a group consisting of WLAN users only. It is also called ESSID. !"Operating Mode: There are three Modes. Infrastructure Mode (the connection among clients through an AP), 802.
You can modify your wireless environment four buttons on the bottom of Utility. 5.1.1 The ‘New’ button Clicking the New button, you can add or make a new Profile. (Refer to ‘The Program For Setting MagicLAN’ in the Chapter 4) 5.1.2 The ‘Apply’ button Select and click a Profile to be used, then the saved or modified profile settings will be used for configuring your WLAN card. 5.1.3 The ‘Edit’ button Clicking the Edit button or the Profile name that was created previously, you can modify that Profile.
- Click the WEP button to set the security. . 1. First of all, select the ‘64 bit’. 2. Input a certain value (ex. test1 etc) in the ‘Passphrase’ and click the Generate button. Then it will make four values of keys automatically. 3. Then you set the same value to the WEP of AP. (cf.
other company, you must set the same values in the four keys) - You can set the ‘Power Saving’ and ‘Threshold’ with clicking the Advanced button. 1. Power Saving Mode saves the Battery. (cf.. it can give a lowing of efficiency according to 802.11Specification) 2.

- You can see the Driver and Firmware version for your WLAN card currently in use. - Click the Website to get more information about WLAN.
6. Troubleshooting To make the installation of SAMSUNG WLAN Card more users friendly, we have suggested following the installation steps one by one as listed in the section 3 and section 4. Still you encounter some problems while installing the WLAN Card or you want to confirm whether your card is installed properly or not, we have listed the procedure for checking the various components after you have installed the card.
Please check the followings if you encounter some problem while installing the PCI card or your PCI card is non-functional. 3. Click on the Control Panel and then on PC Card. Check whether it has PC Card in one of the sockets or not. If you find SAMSUNG 11Mbps WLAN PCI Card in one of the sockets, it means the card is detected properly. If you see the Yellow sign of Question-mark (?), the resources are conflicting. 4. Right click on My Computer and the select Properties.
SAMSUNG 11Mbps WLAN PC Card. Double clicking on that will show you the Card Information, driver name and the driver file. You must confirm the name of the driver and the driver file as “swld11” and “swld11.sys”. If you do not find the names as we listed before, there are some problems and the driver is not installed properly. Reinstall the driver. Note: Check the PnP BIOS setup menu and select no in case of the WLAN Card installation.
The system tray wireless monitor is always red. Make sure that all the clients have the same SSID. Set all clients to the same wireless channel in case of Ad-hoc network mode. Make it sure that you are with in the range of an Access Point (AP). If your PC can’t be associated with any AP, it cannot communicate with other clients. If you cannot connect to one of the clients in the Make it sure that all clients are up and are network. running with a blue taskbar icon.
In case of the Windows NT, if there is no sound You must check the resources of the sound card after you insert the Wireless LAN card. driver. If the resources are conflicting with Samsung Wireless (PCI/PC Card) LAN Card driver, you must change the resources.
