2.6 Setting up Client Computers

The TCP/IP and IEEE 802.11g-related settings of wireless client computers must match

those of the AP.

2.6.1 Configuring IEEE 802.11g-Related Settings

Before the TCP/IP networking system of a wireless client computer can communicate

with other hosts, the underlying wireless link must be established between this wireless

computer and an AP.

To establish a wireless link to an AP:

1. Launch the configuration/monitoring utility provided by the vendor of the installed

WLAN NIC.

2. Use the utility to make appropriate Operating Mode, SSID and WEP settings.

NOTE: A wireless client computer must be in infrastructure mode, so that it can associ-

ate with an AP.

NOTE: The SSID of the wireless client computer and the SSID of the AP must be iden-

tical. Or, in case the SSID broadcasts capability of the AP is enabled (by default), the

SSID of the wireless client computer could be set to “any”.

NOTE: Both the wireless client computer and the AP must have the same WEP settings

for them to communicate with each other.

NOTE: For better wireless security, IEEE 802.1x capability of the AP must be enabled

so that only authenticated wireless users can access the wireless network. Refer to the

IEEE 802.1x-related white papers on the companion CD-ROM for more information

about deploying secure WLANs with IEEE 802.1x support.

2.6.2 Configuring TCP/IP-Related Settings

Use Windows Network Control Panel Applet to change the TCP/IP settings of the

client computers, so that the IP addresses of the client computers and the IP address of

the AP are in the same IP subnet.

If a client computer is originally set a static IP address, you can either change its IP ad-

dress to match the IP address of the AP, or select an automati-

cally-obtain-an-IP-address option if there is a DHCP server on the network.

NOTE: For some versions of Windows, the computer needs to be restarted for the

changes of TCP/IP settings to take effect.
