Connection to Network
After all required settings for the computer are completed, you can
try connecting to the network. This chapter describes how to
access the network, check signal and communication conditions,
and select the target computer on the network.
Follow the steps below to access the network.
There are two types of connection: direct connection between wireless LAN PC’s
and connection to a computer on a wired LAN via an access point (available sep-
arately). The setting procedures vary depending on the connection type. Select
the appropriate procedure for your operating environment.
Connection between wireless LAN PCs
The factory default ESS-ID (RoamLAN) can be used for connection between
wireless LAN PCs, however, we recommend that you change the ESS-ID to
ensure further security.
If you change the ESS-ID, be sure to change that of the destination
computer. Computers with different ESS-IDs cannot be connected. Con-
tact the administrator for the ESS-ID.
Connection to network
When adjacent companies build networks using the same (factory default, for
example) ESS-ID, their networks may be inadvertently connected and confi-
dential information may leak. It is safer to configure the network using an
access point (MELCO INC.’s WLA-T1) with a unique identification code auto-
matically assigned.
