7.2 Preparations for activation of the infrastructure mode
- The SSID of the access point must be entered in the NETL ink® WLAN.
- The encryption settings of the NETL ink® WLAN must match those of the access
point (these details can be obtained from the administrator that is in charge of the
infrastructure network).
- The IP settings of the NETL ink® WLAN may need to be adapted (e.g. DHCP); infor-
mation about this can be obtained from the relevant administrator.
7.1 Preparations for activation of the ad-hoc mode
- The WLAN network card of the PG/PC is to be assigned a xed IP address – match-
ing the address range of the NETL ink® WLAN.
- An active proxy server function must be switched off.
- It is possible that other network devices may need to be deactivated in the PG/PC
(relevant if they are in the same IP address segment of the WLAN network card).
- The operating system opens an information box when a wireless network is within
range. A connection can then be established by means of the corresponding
conguration aids.
Note: This chapter describes how you establish an unencrypted connection. Further
information about this can be found in the NETLink® manual under Chapter 7.7.4.
