that you can incorporate into a WLAN network using a 
WLAN USB key.

machine.
Configure your network
Creating or rejoining a network
Before attempting to use a WLAN adaptor on your 
machine, you must enter the parameters that will allow a

WPA, and confirm with OK:
- If you choose WEP, enter the WEP key that you 
are using on your network.
- If you choose WPA, enter the WPA or WPA2 
key that you are using on your network. NoteYou can be sure of perfect 
communication if you use an 
approved adaptor in conjunction with 
your PC.
All of the latest printer drivers for the 
approved adaptor may be found on 
our website together with further 
information: 
 
www.sagem-communications.com.
ImportantYour machine’s network radio 
adaptor transmits data using the 
radio protocol IEEE 802.11g; it can 
also be incorporated into an existing 
IEEE 802.11b network.
When connecting to your machine, 
only use the approved adaptor. 
Other transmitting or receiving 
adaptors may damage your device.
Irrespective of whether you use your 
machine in an infrastructure or ad-
hoc network, you must set up certain 
network and security parameters 
(for example, the Service-Set-ID 
(SSID) and the encryption key). 
These must match the network’s 
specifications.
NoteWe recommend that the settings of 
your WLAN network should only be 
changed by a person with a good 
knowledge of the configuration of your 
computer.
NoteIf you choose an existing network, 
steps 5 and 6 (and possibly 7) are 
carried out automatically.
ImportantPlease note that in ad-hoc mode, 
the WPA/WPA2 encryption method 
is not available.
NoteThe WEP key number may be 
configured in the menu:  29 -

network. The speed of 
communication is also dependent on 
spatial distance between transmitter 
and receiver, as well as the number 
of barriers, such as walls or ceilings.

Setting up the PC
For this section, refer to the instructions supplied by the 
manufacturer of the WLAN USB key to help you to find 
and join the house network.
1You may need to install the software for the WLAN 
USB key on the PC, if this has not already been 
done. 
2Plug WLAN USB key into a USB port on the PC.
3Use the software of the WLAN USB key to detect 
the network.
4Join the network house once this has been 
detected.
5Now set up the WLAN network connection of your 
PC.
 
To do this, you must configure the element 
Protocol Internet (TCP/IP) for the WLAN 
connection that has been created. If this element is 
set up in such a way as to obtain an IP address 
automatically, you must change it to manual mode 
to set up the TCP/IP address (169.254.0.1 in our 
example), the subnet mask (255.255.0.0 in our 
example) and the default gateway (0.0.0.0 in our 
example).
