IP Address Page 
Use IP Address Page to view and edit the IP address, Subnet mask and 
Default gateway. 
Click Start > Settings > Connections > Network Adaptors >  
“IEEE 802.11b WLAN Adaptor” > Properties > IP Address 
 
■ IP Address: IP Address is Internet Protocol Address; a numeric 
address such as 10.37.238.100 that the domain name server 
translates into a domain name. Each node on the IP network should 
have a unique IP address. 
■ Subnet mask: A number used to identify a subnetwork when multiple 
networks share an IP address. For example 255.255.255.0 
■ Default gateway: This is a device used to forward IP packets to and 
from a remote destination. 
Please check with your network administrator for these connection 
settings.

Name Servers Page 
Use Name Servers Page to view and edit DNS, Alt DNS, WINS and 
Alt WINS. 
Start > Settings > Connections > Network Adaptors > “IEEE 802.11b 
WLAN Adaptor” > Properties > Name Servers 
 
■ DNS: Domain Name System is a database system that translates 
addresses and domain names. For example, a numeric address like 
232.245.021.54 can become something like cba.com. DNS can also 
be used to control Internet email delivery. 
■ WINS: In Pocket PC, Windows Internet Naming Service has two 
functions; one is a Microsoft Net BIO name server that eliminates the 
broadcasts needed to resolve computer names to IP addresses by 
providing a cache or database of translations. The other one is to set 
the IP address of the host computer that you already construct the 
partnership for Network adaptor Active sync purpose. 
Without setting the host computer’s IP address in the WINS, you cannot 
wirelessly synchronize your Pocket PC with your host computer. 
■ Alt DNS: Alt DNS stands for Alternative Domain Name System. Used 
to substitute main DNS when necessary. 
■ Alt WINS: Alt WINS stands for Alternative Windows Internet Naming 
Service. Used to substitute main WINS when necessary.

■ Mode: Use the Mode pull-down menu to select the operating mode. 
Infrastructure – This is a default mode. This mode allows Wireless LAN 
Module to transmit and receive data with an Access Point. This mode 
enables roaming between AP cells in the network. 
802.11 Ad Hoc – This mode allows Wireless LAN Module to form its 
own local network where adaptors communicate peer-to-peer without 
Access Points using a shared SSID. 
■ SSID: Service Set Identifier is a group name that will be shared by 
every member of your wireless network. You will only be able to 
connect with an Access Point (AP), which has the same SSID. Note 
that the SSID will be case sensitive. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the 
SSID must be the same among stations so that the Pocket PC can 
communicate properly within the Wireless Network. 
■ Channel: In France, only channel 10 and 11 are available. In USA, 
Canada, Europe or Australia, you have 11 options: channel 1~11. 
If you cannot connect with the APs or the 802.11 Ad Hoc Network Stations, check if the channel been used is between 1~11. Using channels 
other than 1~11 will not enable the connection.  
The channel is set by the adaptor, which starts the 802.11Ad Hoc 
network. Under 802.11Ad Hoc mode, the first station forms the 802.11 
Ad Hoc network should choose a proper SSID and the channel for 
use. Other stations will only have the same SSID set to join the 802.11 
Ad Hoc network automatically. 
■ Rescan: Used to search the proper Access Point close to the 
adaptor. 
■ Link Quality: An indicator of how clearly the adaptor can hear the 
Access Point.

Advanced Page 
Use Advanced page to view and edit Power Saving Mode, 
Transmission Rate and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). 
Click Start > Settings > System > Wireless LAN Utility > Advanced 
 
■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) 
■ Mode: The default WEP Mode setting is “Disable”. You can 
choose “64 bits (ASCII)”, “128 bits (ASCII)”, “64 bits (HEX)” or “128 
bits (HEX)” manually to enable the WEP or choose “Disable” to 
disable the WEP. 
■ Disable: If there is no security issue concerned, choose “Disable” 
which may increase the Data Transmission Rate. 
■ 64 bits (ASCII): If WEP of the Access Point or Peer site station is 
set as “64 bits (ASCII)”, in Mode field, select “64 bits(ASCII)” to 
connect with the Access Point or the Peer site station by using the 
same 5 ASCII characters. 
■ 128 bits (ASCII): If WEP of the Access Point or Peer site station is 
set as “128 bits (ASCII)”, in Mode field, select “128 bits (ASCII)” to 
connect with the Access Point or the Peer site station by using the 
same 13 ASCII characters. 
■ 64 bits (HEX): If WEP of the Access Point or Peer site station is set 
as “64 bits (HEX)”, in Mode field, select “64 bits (HEX)” to connect 
with the Access Point or the Peer site station by using the same 10 
hexadecimal values in the following range: 0~9, A(a) ~F(f). 
■ 128 bits (HEX): If WEP of the Access Point or Peer site station is 
set as “128 bits (HEX)”, in Mode field, choose “128 bits (HEX)” to 
connect with the Access Point or the Peer site station by using the 
same 26 hexadecimal values in the following range: 0~9 and 
A(a)~F(f).

■ Key ID: While enabling “64 bits (ASCII)”, “128 bits (ASCII)”, “64 
bits (HEX)” or “128 bits (HEX)”, the “Key ID” will then be enabled 
as well. You must choose the same “Key ID” for connection with 
the Access Point or the Peer site Station. You can choose “Key 1” 
~ “Key 4” for your own use. 
■ Key: While enabling “64 bits (ASCII)”, “128 bits (ASCII)”, “64 bits 
(HEX)” or “128 bits (HEX)” WEP Mode, the “Key” will then be 
enabled. You can key in the “64 bits (ASCII)”, “128 bits (ASCII)”, 
“64 bits (HEX)”, or “128 bits (HEX)” WEP Key in the field manually. 
The “64 bits (ASCII)” needs 5 ASCII characters with no limitation; 
the “128 bits (ASCII)” needs 13 ASCII characters with no limitation; 
the “64 bits (HEX)” needs 10 hexadecimal numbers for use and will 
have the upper limit of 10 Hexadecimal value of 0~9 and a(A)~f(F); 
the “128 bits (HEX)” needs 26 hexadecimal value for use and will 
have the upper limit of 26 Hexadecimal number from range of 0~9 
and a(A)~f(F). For “64 bits (HEX)” or “128 bits (HEX)”, if you enter 
out- of-range Characters, the Utility will prompt a Warning 
Message to ask you to enter the correct characters. If you didn’t 
enter enough hexadecimal value or ASCII character in the “Key” 
field, the “Apply” button will not be able to use. And if you click 
“OK” at this time, the Utility will close itself but will not set the 
incorrect WEP Key. 
■ Transmission Rate: Use the Transmission Rate pull-down menu to 
select one of the transmission rates as follows: Fixed 1Mbps, Fixed 
2Mbps, Fixed 5.5Mbps, Fixed 11Mbps, Auto Select 1 or 2 Mbps, and 
Fully Auto. For best performance, select Fully Auto to allow the 
adaptor to automatically adjust the transfer speed. 
■ Power Saving: Select or clear the check box to enable or disable the 
Power Saving Mode.
