Setting up a wireless LAN environment
When you are using a wireless LAN PC card, it is also
necessary to set up the Network Adaptor following the
steps below.
Using a wireless LAN access point
Set up the access point you are connecting to as
follows.
1
Click Desktop View in the Start up window.
2
From the Start menu, click Control Panel in the
Desktop window.
3
Double-click the Wireless LAN icon.
The Wireless LAN settings dialog box appears.
4
Click the Edit button.
The Access Point settings dialog box appears.
5
Enter a Nickname.
The Nickname identifies the access point. Enter up
to 32 characters for the Nickname using
alphanumeric characters and symbols (ASCII
characters). If multiple access points exist, make
sure to assign a different name to each one.
6
Enter the Access Point ID.
Type the ID specified for the access point you are
connecting to.
7
Enter the Encryption Key.
Type the encryption key, if it is set and is active on
the access point.
8
Click the OK button.
The Wireless LAN settings dialog box reappears.
9
Click the radio button of the Nickname you want
to use, and click the OK button.
Connection is made to the selected access point.
To connect to an access point which is
already configured
If multiple access points exist, you can assign up to
four Nicknames for them. If you want to connect to an
access point which is already configured, select a radio
button next to the relevant Nickname then click the
OK button in the Wireless LAN settings window.
Connection is made to the selected access point.
Note
When the manufacturer of the wireless LAN card
inserted into the Display (Network Adaptor) and that
of the wireless LAN access point are not the same,
how to enter the encryption key may differ. If the
encryption key appears in hexadecimal values, enter
the hexadecimal values for Encryption Key.
When no communication is taking place
between the access point and the Display
(Network Adaptor)
If the channel for the access point is set to 12–14, set it
to any channel between 1 and 11.
Notes
• Contact qualified Sony personnel if any trouble
occurs when you are using the specified/
recommended Sony wireless LAN PC card.
• If the manufacturer of the wireless LAN card and
that of the wireless LAN access point are not the
same, communication by enabled encryption does not
take place correctly.
