Introduction: Broadcom BCM94301MPLMini PCI Card User's Guide

Before you begin

Things you should know

BCM94301MPLnetwork

Before you begin

Obtain the following information from your network administrator (if you are a home user, obtain this information from the person that

installed your wireless access point):

●Network names (SSID) of the specific wireless networks that you want to connect to.

●WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key information (if any) for the networks you want to connect to.

●For Microsoft® Windows® networking, your customer name and workgroup name.

●For your network account, your user name and password.

●Your IP address (if not using a DHCP server)

Things you should know

When you start your computer, your Broadcom BCM94301MPLinternal 802.11b Mini PCI card detects certain wireless networks that are

within range. Before you can connect to these and other wireless networks, you must configure a profile for each network using the

information you obtained from your network administrator. Instructions for configuring a network profile are provided in Completing the

setup.

WEP is a security protocol for wireless local area networks (defined in the IEEE 802.11b standard) that encrypts data sent over radio

waves. The use of the WEP key is optional and can be enabled or disabled. If the network you are connecting to has enabled WEP, you

must also enable WEP in the network profile and set the WEP key to match the WEP key used by the network. Otherwise, you cannot

connect to the network.

Broadcom BCM94301MPLnetwork

The Broadcom BCM94301MPLsolution allows you to make a wireless connection to a network, as illustrated below.

Configuring a network profile (Windows® 2000 environment)

Before you can connect to a wireless network, you must configure a network profile for that network on your computer using the

BCM94301MPLwireless utility. If you purchased your portable computer with the Broadcom BCM94301MPLinternal 802.11b Mini PCI

card already installed and set up at the factory, follow the network profile configuration instructions provided below. If this is not the

case, first verify that the Broadcom BCM94301MPLcard has been properly installed in your computer according to the installation

instructions. Then proceed with the following instructions for configuring your network profiles. The instructions explain how to open the

utility and how to use it to configure a network profile.

Opening the utility

You can configure a network profile for networks that are listed in the Available networks list as well as networks that are not listed.

When you have completed configuring a network profile, the network name and icon appear at the top of the Preferred networks list.

Your computer automatically connects to the network at the top of the Preferred networks list. Follow the applicable instruction set

below, based on whether or not the network is listed and whether or not the network requires a WEP key (check with your network

administrator to see if a WEP key is required). NOTE—Both the network name and the network key are case-sensitive.

●Configuring a profile for a listed network that does not require a WEP key

●Configuring a profile for a listed network that requires a WEP key

●Configuring a profile for an network that is not listed and does not require a WEP key

●Configuring a profile for an network that is not listed and requires a WEP key
