Connecting the NP5410 to Your Network
There are two network scenarios as below:
Ad-hoc Networking
Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc network is one that allows all workstations
and computers in the network to act as servers to all other users on the network.
Users on the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a
shared modem. However, with ad-hoc networking, users can only communicate with other
wireless LAN computers that are in the same wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range.
Infrastructure Networking
Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it includes an access point.
Unlike the ad-hoc structure where users on the LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an
infrastructure network, the access point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth
utilization.
Additionally, the access point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired
network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as
Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing.

Infrastructure networking has the following advantages over ad-hoc networking:
Extended range:
Each wireless LAN computer within the range of the
access point can communicate with other wireless LAN
computers within range of the access point.
Roaming:
The access point enables a wireless LAN computer to
move through a building and still be connected to the
LAN.
Wired to wireless LAN connectivity: The access point bridges the gap between wireless
LANs and their wired counterparts.

FAQ & Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and
operation of the Wireless Access Point. Please refer to the following descriptions to solve the
problems. If you can’t find an answer here, please contact your dealer for further information.
My PC can’t locate the Wireless Ethernet Adapter.
Please follow the procedures below:
■
■
Check if the Ethernet cable is correctly connected.
Check if the IP addresses of your PC and Wireless Ethernet Adapter both are on the same
local IP network. If not, you may use Wireless Navigator to set up Adapter’s IP address, or
change your PC’s IP address. For example, if your PC’s IP address is 169.254.17.50 and IP
of Ethernet Adapter is 192.168.1.200, you may need to change IP of your PC to
192.168.1.xxx.
My NP5410 cannot communicate with Wireless Access Point.
Please follow the procedures below:
■
Check if you can use Wireless Navigator utility to access to the NP5410 first. If not, please
go through the procedure of Q1.
■
■
Check if the NP5410 is set to Infrastructure correctly.
Check if the SSID of your NP5410 is the same as AP’s. If not, please set it the same as the
SSID of AP’s or leave it empty to connect to any AP available.
■
■
Check if the WEP is enabled either in your NP5410 or access point. If yes, please make sure
that your NP5410 and the Wireless Access Point both have the same setting for WEP, such
as the key tables must match.
Finally, please check if radio interference is causing a problem; see if connection is possible
when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range can be as
short as 100 feet in poor environment.
The Wireless connection speed is very slow.
The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the distance and
the environment condition. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you have to try to
adjust the Ethernet NP5410’s location and its antenna’s direction. If you find the interference is
the problem, changing to another channel may improve the performance.
Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless network?
This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over a network.
Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports operation over a network.

Can I play computer games with other members of the wireless network?
Yes, as long as the game supports multiple players over a LAN (local area network), you can
play with other connected members on the network. Refer to the game’s user guide for more
information.
What is the IEEE 802.11g draft?
IEEE is Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, which is formulating a standard for the
industry. IEEE 802.11g draft is submitted by IEEE and it is estimated to be finalized in June,
2003. This wireless standard will allow 802.11b and 802.11g devices from different
manufacturers to communicate with each other. 802.11g draft allows wireless connection
performance to 54Mbps.
What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
The IEEE 802.11b standard was proposed by IEEE subcommittee. The objective is to enable
wireless LAN hardware from different manufacturers to communicate. The maximum
performance of 802.11b is 11Mbps.
What’s Ad-hoc?
An Ad-hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN Adapter, connected as an
independent wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a
branch or SOHO operation.
What is Infrastructure?
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is
applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for
mobile workers.
What is Roaming?
Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate continuously while moving
freely throughout an area greater than that covered by a single Wireless Network Access Point.
Before using the roaming function, the workstation must make sure that it is the same SSID with
the Wireless Access Point of dedicated coverage area.
What is Spread Spectrum?
Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military
for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off
bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In the other words, more bandwidth
is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off produces a signal that
is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of
the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not turned to the right frequency, a
spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit as
described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. If the WEP is on, all the data sent through wireless LAN
are encrypted for security.

Glossary
This section explains the glossary of terms used in this manual that are required to configure the
network.
Wireless Channel
If there is more than one Wireless LAN network with different ESS-ID on the same floor, and
they are communicating with each other, the baud rate may be slowed, due to the same radio
frequency being used. If this happens, you can still communicate regardless of other LAN
networks by using to use different frequencies (wireless channels).
Note: If they are communications using the wireless LAN, be sure to set all the Units the
same wireless channel.
DHCP Server
When configuring the network TCP/IP, be sure to set the IP address in each personal computer
and other devices. When there is a DHCP server on the network, it can assign IP addresses
automatically to the personal computers and the Access Point on the network. For the Windows
NT server and dial-up router, or other DHCP server function, refer to the Windows 2000,
Windows NT, or dial-up router manual, or consult the manufacturer.
ESS-ID
This ID is used to prevent cross-communication during communication between the Access
Point and personal computers within the wireless LAN. The Wireless LAN personal computers
that have the same ESS-ID as the Access Point can communicate with the Access Point. The
ESS-ID is case sensitive. You can enter a maximum of 32 alphanumeric characters, and the
underline "_".
LAN (LocalArea Network)
Read as one word. A LAN is a network in a comparatively small area, such as campus or within
a single building. The LAN baud rate varies from 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps.
MAC Address (Media Access Control Address)
The MAC address is a physical address specific to each network card. The MAC address is
configured from a total of six bytes as follows: A vendor code comprising the lead three bytes
and a 3-byte user code. The vendor code is managed and assigned by IEEE. The user code is
managed using a unique (unduplicated) number from the network card manufacturer. That is, the
MAC address is assigned as a physical address unique throughout the world. In an Ethernet
LAN, the MAC address is used as a base to create a frame for sending and receiving.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
TCP/IP is a protocol equivalent to the network and transport levels of the OSI reference model,
and it is defined using RFC. Consequently, different terminals can communicate with each other
using TCP/IP.
• Normally, TCP/IP includes the application protocols TELNET and FTP.
• TCP/IP is the standard Internet protocol.

WEP (Encryption)
By setting an encryption key in the Access Point, you can prevent wireless packets from being
decrypted externally.
Firmware
Firmware is the name given to the software (programs) built into hardware such as the router,
modem, and terminal Adapter. This software is built into the hardware, so it can be said to be in-
between hardware and software.
Protocol
Protocols are the procedures and regulations for sending and receiving data between the network
terminals. For example, if two computers are communicating, you can send the correct
information according to the regulations by formatting all required information. The protocol
such as which terminal sends first, what type of message, what type of message the receiving
terminal should send in reply, the data format, and responses to communications errors are same
of examples.
Roaming Function
When using roaming function and moving from one room to another room, you can switch to
available Access Point automatically. With the roaming function, you can easily move from the
office to the conference room while maintaining access to the network.
