To modify general wireless LAN settings, select
Connections > Wireless LAN, and select the Settings page.
Define the following:
• Background scan interval — Specify how often you
want the device to scan for available networks. To
reduce battery consumption, select Never. The
wireless LAN icon is displayed in the indicator area
when a network is found.
• WLAN power saving — If you have problems
establishing a wireless LAN connection, try selecting
Disabled. If you select Disabled, the power
consumption increases when a wireless LAN
connection is used.
To modify advanced wireless LAN settings, select
Connections > Wireless LAN. Select the Settings page,
and press Advanced settings. Press OK.
Define the following:
• Automatic configuration — Select Off if you want to
specify the advanced wireless LAN settings manually.
Do not change the settings manually unless you are
sure how each setting affects system performance.
System performance may drop dramatically if
automatic settings are not used.
• Ad hoc channel — Specify the radio frequency channel
on which you want to set up an ad hoc network. Select
Automatic if you want to be allocated an available
channel automatically.
• Long retry limit — Specify the maximum number of
transmission attempts of a frame whose size is greater
than the RTS (request to send) threshold.
• Short retry limit — Specify the maximum number of
transmission attempts of a frame whose size is less
than or equal to the RTS threshold.
• RTS threshold — Determines the data packet size at
which the wireless LAN access point issues a request
to send before sending the packet.
• TX power level — Specify the power level used when
transmitting data.
To use the original factory settings, press Restore
defaults.
Creating a basic Internet access point for a
wireless LAN
You can quickly create an Internet access point that
contains all the basic settings. An Internet access point is
needed to connect to the Internet.
To create a basic Internet access point, select
Connections > Wireless LAN, and select the Networks
page. Select the network or wireless LAN access point for
which you want to create the Internet access point, and
press Create access point. Press OK, and you are asked for
the WEP key or WPA/WPA2 settings if required by the
network. If the network does not require these security
settings, you are shown details on the new Internet
access point. Press OK.
For instructions on modifying the WEP key or EAP module
settings, see the Help function in the device.
You can also create an Internet access point in more
detail. See "Setting up an Internet access point for a
wireless LAN," p. 92.
