For information about static IP configuration, see the operating system

documentation or online help.

Note:

Make sure that the IP address of the client is on the same subnet

as the Ericsson W3x. The IP address range of the Ericsson W3x

subnet is displayed on the

Wireless LAN Settings

This section provides a general description of what is required to make your

wireless clients work with the Ericsson W3x.

Before you follow the instructions below, you need to configure the

Wireless LAN settings in the Ericsson W3x as described in section 3.6 –

Wireless LAN

.

6.2.1

Prepare the Wireless Client(s)

The coverage of the Wireless LAN depends on a number of factors,

including the distance between the Ericsson W3x and the PC and the

occurrence of obstacles, such as walls and electrical equipment.

Guidelines on setting the hardware components of your wireless network

are provided by your Wireless LAN interface provider.

6.2.2

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. The

driver files and instructions on how to install them are provided together

with the interface.

6.2.3

Configure Access to the W3x WLAN

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 W3x.

•

Configure the

network name (SSID)

and

channel

to match the

network name and channel configured on the Ericsson W3x. 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 W3x.

•

If you are using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) security,

configure the same

passphrase

that is configured on the Ericsson

W3x. The passphrase is case sensitive.

•

Configure the IP settings using the procedure described in section 6.1–

IP Settings

.

6.3

USB Sharing Settings

When a storage device or printer is connected to the USB port on the

Ericsson W3x, information about the device is displayed on the

Sharing

page.

To be able to use the shared device you also have to set up a connection

to the shared device on your PC.

In some cases, you have to make sure that your PC belongs to the same

workgroup as the Ericsson W3x. Follow the instructions in the next section

to check the workgroup on your PC.

Access a Shared Printer

page

If you connect a USB printer directly to your PC, the printer device type and

brand will normally be automatically detected and a printer driver assigned

and installed. This is not the case when using a network shared USB

printer connected to your Ericsson W3x.

On the PCs that should use the printer, install the correct printer driver

compatible with the PCs operating system. The printer driver is found either

on the discs that were shipped with your printer or by downloading it from

the manufacturers web page.

The Ericsson W3x supports two protocols for printing: Samba and RAW.

The protocol that is used may vary depending on printer and manufacturer.

It also affects how to access the printer via the Ericsson W3x.

The following sections include instructions on how to access a shared

printer from a PC using Windows XP or 2000.
