driver files and instructions on how to install them are provided together

6.2.3 Configure Access to the W3x WLAN
The configuration steps below will vary depending on both the operating
system and the Wireless LAN interface installed on the PC. These steps
provide a basic outline. For specific instructions, refer to the documentation
provided with your Wireless LAN interface.
Configure the following wireless parameters on each of the wireless PCs:
• Set the Wireless LAN interface to use infrastructure mode. This
configures the PCs to access each other and the Internet through the
Ericsson W3x.
• Configure
the network name (SSID) and channel to match the
network name and channel configured on the Ericsson W3x. This
information can usually be obtained through WLAN scanning. The
network name is case sensitive.
• If you are using Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security, configure the
same encryption key that is configured on the Ericsson W3x.
• If you are using Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA or WPA2) security,
configure the same passphrase that is configured on the Ericsson
W3x. The passphrase is case sensitive.
• Configure the IP settings using the procedure described in section 6.1–
IP Settings.
6.3 USB Sharing Settings
When a storage device or printer is connected to the USB port on the
Ericsson W3x, information about the device is displayed on the Sharing
page.
To be able to use the shared device you also have to set up a connection
to the shared device on your PC.
In some cases, you have to make sure that your PC belongs to the same
workgroup as the Ericsson W3x. Follow the instructions in the next section
to check the workgroup on your PC.
