("Infrastructure" is the default setting.)
Channel – If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN, set the
channel number to the same radio channel as that used by the
other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are
connecting to a network via an access point, then the channel is
automatically set to the channel of the access point to which the

Site Survey
The Site Survey scans and displays all access points in the wireless
LAN. You can choose one of them to connect to by double-clicking
on an entry.
Encryption
Encryption – Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in the
adapter to prevent unauthorised access. For more secure data
transmissions, set encryption to "128-bit" or "64-bit". The 128-bit
setting gives a higher level of security. The setting must be the
same for all clients in your wireless network (Default: Disabled).
The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in SMC’s EZ
Connect Wireless PC Card is based on the RC4 encryption
algorithm. The security keys are four 10 digit keys for the 64-bit
WEP setting and one 26-digit key for the 128-bit WEP setting. WEP
security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and
unauthorised access by hackers or intruders.
English
English
19 20

Create with Passphrase – Security keys for WEP encryption are
generated from your Passphrase string, so you must use the same
Passphrase on all the other stations in your network.
Manual Entry – "Manual Entry" allows you to manually enter key
elements (two hexadecimal digits in each block.)
Default Key ID – Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string
you prefer. If you are using a key generated from the passphrase,
you must use the same passphrase and key on each station. To use
the WEP function, take the following steps:
1. Select "128-bit" or "64-bit" in the "Encryption" field.
2. Choose "Create with Passphrase," type a string in the Passphrase
field, and click "Generate."
3. Select the key, and click "Apply."
Note: A passphrase string can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
Or
1. Check "Manual Entry" and enter hexadecimal numbers into one
of the key fields. The bit key must be in hexadecimal numerals
(0~9, A~F, e.g., D7 0A 9C 7F E5.)
2. Click "Apply."
Advanced Screen
You can use this screen to set values for "Fragmentation
Threshold" (Default: 2346 means Disabled), and "RTS/CTS
Threshold" (Default: 2347 means Disabled).

Network Configuration and Planning
SMC’s EZ Connect Wireless Solution supports a stand-alone wireless
network configuration, as well as an integrated configuration with
10/100 Mbps Ethernet LANs.
The SMC2632W V.2 can be configured as:
• Ad hoc - for small groups that only communicate with each other
• Infrastructure - for wireless LANs
Network Topologies
Ad Hoc Wireless LAN
An ad hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each
equipped with one wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as
an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific ad hoc
wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio
channel. An ad hoc wireless LAN can be used in a SOHO or
temporary environment.
Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The SMC2655W access point can also provide wireless workstations
with access to a wired LAN. An integrated wired and wireless LAN
is called an infrastructure configuration. A Basic Service Set (BSS)
consists of a group of wireless PC users, and an access point that
is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this
BSS can talk to any computer in its wireless group via a radio link,
Ad Hoc Wireless LAN
Notebook with
WirelessUSBAdapter
Notebook with
WirelessPCCard
PC with Wireless
PCIAdapter
or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN
infrastructure via the access point. The infrastructure configuration
not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN,
but also extends the effective wireless transmission range for
wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or more access
points. A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central
database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in
the following figure.
Setting the Communication Domain
Stationary Wireless PCs
The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication domain for each
access point. For wireless PCs that do not need to support
roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID) for the wireless card to
the SSID of the access point you want to connect to. Check with
your administrator for the SSID of the access point you should
connect to.
Roaming Wireless PCs
A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile
workers. More than one access point can be configured to create
an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the access points so

that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within
this ESS can roam freely. All wireless adapters and access points
within a specific ESS must be configured with the same SS ID and
to the same radio channel.
Before setting up an ESS for roaming, you need to choose a clear
radio channel and ideal location for the access points to maximise
performance.

Adapter Installation Problems
If your computer cannot find the EZ Connect Wireless PC Card or
the network driver does not install correctly, check the following:
• Make sure the adapter is securely seated in the PCMCIA slot.
When you insert the wireless adapter into the notebook’s slot, a
beep should be heard if the adapter is properly inserted. Check
for any hardware problems, such as physical damage to the
card’s connector.
• Try the card in another PCMCIA slot. If this also fails, test your
computer with another SMC2632W V.2 Wireless PC Card that is
known to operate correctly.
• When operating under Windows NT, make sure a PCMCIA card and
socket services driver is installed in your computer. Also check for
resource conflicts using the Windows NT Diagnostics utility.
• Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS.
• If there are other network adapters in the computer, they may
be causing conflict. Remove all other adapters from the
computer and test the wireless adapter separately.
• Check for a defective computer or PCMCIA connection by
trying the adapter in another computer that is known to
operate correctly.
• If it still does not work, take out the wireless adapter. Delete
CW10.sys from c:\windows\system. Then go to "Control Panel"
and delete the adapter from your network configuration menu.
Restart your PC and reinstall the card.
Network Connection Problems
If the Link LED on the PC Card does not light, or if you cannot access
any network resources from the computer, check the following:

• Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your
operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.
• Make sure the computer and other network devices are
receiving power.
• The access point you want to attach to may be defective.
Try using another access point.
• If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the
network, check that you have enabled and configured the
service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server, be
sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.
• If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured
your system for TCP/IP.
If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer in
the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure mode, check
the following:
• Make sure the access point which the station is associated with
is powered on.
• If you still can’t connect, change the access point and all the
stations within the BSS to another radio channel.
• Make sure the SSID is the same as that used by the access point
for a station with roaming disabled, or the same as that used by
the access points in the extended service set (ESS).
