Your machine’s network radio adaptor
transmits data using the radio protocol IEEE
802.11g; it can also be incorporated into an
existing IEEE 802.11b network.
When connecting to your machine, only use
the approved adaptor. Other transmitting or
receiving adaptors may damage your device.
Irrespective of whether you use your machine
in an infrastructure or ad-hoc network, you
must set up certain network and security
parameters (for example, the Service-Set-ID
(SSID) and the WEP key). These must match
the network’s specifications.
We recommend that the settings of your
WLAN network should only be changed by a
person with a good knowledge of the
configuration of your computer.
If you choose an exisiting network, steps 5
and 6 (and possibly 7) are carried out
automatically.
The WEP key number may be configured in
the menu:
