PC Configuration
3.2.2 Install the Wireless LAN Interface
Each PC on your Wireless LAN must be fitted with a Wireless LAN
interface, such as a wireless network card. You also have to install the
corresponding driver files for your particular Wireless LAN interface on your
PC. The driver files and instructions on how to install them are provided
together with the interface.
3.2.3 Configure Access to the Ericsson W21
The configuration steps below will vary depending on both the operating
system and the Wireless LAN interface installed on the PC. These steps
provide a basic outline. For specific instructions, refer to the documentation
provided with your Wireless LAN interface.
Configure the following wireless parameters on each of the wireless PCs:
Set the Wireless LAN interface to use infrastructure mode. This
configures the PCs to access each other and the Internet through the
Ericsson W21.
Configure the network name (SSID) and channel to match the
network name and channel configured on the Ericsson W21. This
information can usually be obtained through WLAN scanning. The
network name is case sensitive.
If you are using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, configure the
same encryption key that is configured on the Ericsson W21.
If you are using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) security,
configure the same passphrase that is configured on the Ericsson
W21. The passphrase is case sensitive.
Note: Windows 2000

USB interface, information about the device is displayed on the Ericsson
