Proxim (6400 System) Radio Parameters
This section will describe the various radio parameters that can be configured by selecting the Proxim RangeLANPC Card Adapter from the list of network components and choosing Properties. Select the Advanced tab when the Properties window appears.

Channel

Note: The Channel parameter is NOT used when the Station Type configuration is set to Station.
Each Master can select one of 15 Channels to establish communications with Stations. Each Channel number sets a unique frequency hopping sequence allowing for multiple subnetworks with higher data rate transmission capability in the same air space. You may think of the Channel as a pipe. In order to communicate, radios must be on the same Channel and there must be one (and only one) Master that provides the timing for that Channel. There are 15 independent Channels designated 1 through 15 with 1 being the default setting. This means that there are 15 different sequences of frequency hops. Each Channel is at a different frequency at a different time. For networks with multiple Masters (like in a roaming environment), set each Master to a different channel for optimum performance. You need only set the Channel on a Master or Alternate Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.

Domain

In order to establish communications, all Station Types require the same Domain number. Radios on different Domains cannot communicate with each other. The Domain is a software filter which does not affect the actual radio frequency or the frequency hop sequence. You may want to set everyone on your network to the same Domain. For larger wireless networks, use the Domain to establish roaming subnetworks throughout your building. For example, the Engineering Department may use Domain 2 and the Sales Department may use Domain 5. Then engineers can only roam within the geographical area mapped out by Access Points with a Domain setting of 2. The Domain is a number between 0 and 15 with 0 being the default setting.

Inactivity Minutes and Inactivity Seconds
To conserve battery life, the RangeLANcard has an inactivity sleep mode. The sleep mode is automatically engaged when a certain period of time has elapsed since the computer has sent or received data over the network. Once the card is asleep, it can be awoken by a Master station attempting to send data to it. However, if the sleeping machine is acting as the Master station, you will lose all communication on your network. Do not set an inactivity timeout on a Master station. The time before sleeping is calculated by adding the Inactive Minute and Inactive Seconds parameters and rounding to the nearest 5 second interval.

MAC Optimize

Note: The MAC Optimize parameter is NOT used when the Station Type configuration is set to Station.
This parameter can help improve throughput for small networks. If you have 8 or fewer wireless nodes communicating with a Access Point at the same time, set this parameter to Light. (You can have more than 8 nodes synchronized to a Access Point but only 8 or fewer communicating at the same time for the Light parameter setting). In networks with more than 8 concurrent wireless users, set the parameter to Normal or Auto. You need only set the MAC Optimize parameter on a Master or Alternate Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.

Master Name

Note: You need only set the Master Name on a Master or Alternate Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.
This optional parameter of up to 11 characters specifies an alphanumeric name to simplify the identification of each Master in your network. Spaces are not allowed.

Node Override

The Node Override field allows you to change the MAC address the RangeLAN2 card will broadcast during the current network session. If this field is not filled out or an illegal address is entered, the MAC address burned in at the factory will be used. Illegal addresses include multicast addresses and non-hexadecimal characters in the address. A multicast address contains an odd number in the second digit. For example, the address 010000000000, is a multicast address and an illegal value for a node override. When displayed on a network analyzer or the RangeLAN2 Windows 95 utilities, the address displayed will be that entered by the user but with bit 1 of the most significant byte set. For example, if you enter 000000000000 as the node override address, 020000000000 will be displayed as the node address. If you entered 040000000000, 060000000000 will be displayed as the node address. This is best understood when the digits are converted into binary. The digit 2 is represented as 10, i.e. bit 1 of the most significant byte is set. The digit 4 is represented as 100 in binary, so would be converted to 110 or 6 in decimal so that bit 1 of the most significant bit could be set. Note that this only affects the second digit of the MAC address. The Node Override parameter is only visible in Windows 95 and Windows NT, although MAC addresses can be overridden in the ODI and NDIS drivers using the Node Address parameter.

Peer to Peer

If the Peer to Peer parameter is set to Yes, wireless clients can communicate with one another. If set to No, the wireless nodes will only communicate with the Master unit. This results in a shorter synchronization time between the wireless clients and the Master unit. There are programs whose timings are inappropriate for wireless networking, resulting in the wireless nodes losing the network connection unless this parameter box is unchecked. You need only set the Peer to Peer parameter on a Station or Alternate Master. Masters will ignore the parameter if it is set.

Roam Config

The Roam Config parameter allows you to determine how quickly stations will roam from one Access Point to another. In areas with many Access Points providing heavy overlapping coverage, set this parameter to Fast to maintain high throughput for each of the wireless nodes. In most networks, set the Roam Config parameter to Normal. Wireless node throughput will not change noticeably, and an overabundance of Access Points is not required. If the wireless coverage area provided by Access Points is sparse, set the Roam Config parameter to Slow. Wireless nodes will note roam until the are nearly out of range of the Access Point. You need only set the Roam Config parameter on a Station or Alternate Master. Masters will ignore the parameters if it is set.

Station Type

In order for this system to work, in each subnetwork there must be one unit that coordinates the hops. This station is called the Master. It might help you to think of the Master as the conductor of a frequency hopping orchestra. The Master keeps time so all units know when to hop and what frequency to hop to. Units classified as Stations synchronize to the Master and follow its signal to learn what frequency in the pattern the Master is currently using. An acting Master can be configured either as a Master or Alternate Master. Alternate Masters act either as a Master or a Station. If an Alternate Master unit is unable to locate any other Master within range, it acts as a Master. If a Master is already present, then the Alternate Master acts as a Station. When there are multiple Alternate Masters, they coordinate amongst themselves to determine who will become the Master. There must be at least one station on the network designated the Master. For most network operating systems, the LXE 6430 Access Point should be the Master and all clients are defined as Stations. In a roaming environment, all Access Points will be configured as Masters. The RangeLANclients are all configured as Stations and roam from one Master to another. You will want to set as few machines as Alternate Master as possible to increase performance. The checking the system does to see if it needs to become a Master adds overhead to the wireless traffic.

Subchannel

The Subchannel is a software code that is appended to each radio packet. It does not affect the frequency hopping sequence like a Channel does. Use a Subchannel if you need more than 15 Masters in the same area and, therefore, all the Channels are used. For example, you can use Channel 1, Subchannel 1 for Network A and Channel 1, Subchannel 2 for Network B. The two networks will not communicate with one another. They are, however, still sharing the 1.6 Mbps pipe since they are both using Channel 1. The Subchannels are designated 1 through 15 with 1 being the default setting. You need only set the Subchannel on a Master or Alternate Master. Stations will ignore the parameter if it is set.
Lucent (6500 System) Radio Parameters
This section will describe the various radio parameters that can be configured by selecting the WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card Adapter from the list of network components and choosing Properties. Select the Advanced tab when the Properties window appears.

AP_Density

The Access Point Density parameter allows you to determine how quickly stations will roam from one Access Point to another. This parameter should be set according to the density setting of the access points installed throughout the wireless network.

MAC_Address

All WaveLAN PC Cards have a unique Universal MAC Address that is used to identify a computer on the network. This parameter can be left blank for most network operating systems. If your network uses a Local MAC Addressing scheme this parameter may need to be modified. Check with your network administrator for assistance.

Medium Reservation

The Medium Reservation mechanism enables you to improve wireless performance in network environments where message collisions occur due to the hidden station (at loss of throughput) problem. An example of this would be if you had 2 stations at the opposite ends of coverage of an access point. Both stations would be able to hear the access point but not each other. (Default = Off)

Station_Name

The name of the computer on the wireless network. If any diagnostic test is performed this information can be used to identify the appropriate computer.

Transmit_Rate

This parameter determines the preferred data transmission speed. The default for this configuration is to determine the best rate at any given time. (Default = Auto offers best overall performance)

WaveLAN_Network_Name

This parameter allows you to configure your system to connect to a ANY IEEE 802.11 network or a specific IEEE 802.11 network. The IEEE 802.11 network must be configured as an Open system and not a Closed system for you to be able to connect to ANY IEEE 802.11 network. Consult with your network administrator or refer to your access point documentation for more detail on configuring you wireless network as an Open or Closed system. Closed limits access to only one specific network name.

This chapter covers the fundamental concepts and system operations with which you need to be familiar to use the Point 1600 pen tablet including: Starting the pen tablet Using the pen Charging the battery pack Connecting to other equipment Shutting down the pen tablet Using hotpads

System Power States

Before you begin using the Point 1600 pen tablet, familiarize yourself with the different system power states that the pen tablet can use. Being familiar with these system states will help you determine whether it is appropriate to turn on, resume, suspend, or shut down the system when you begin a new session or end your current session. System behavior for each system power state (or mode) is described briefly in the following, with each system state listed in decreasing order of power usage: Fully On state The system is running and the display screen is on. The system responds to the pen or other input. Idle and Standby state Some system functions are regulated or turned off to conserve power. The display screen may be turned off (depending on how your system is configured). The system returns to the Fully On state when pen activity or other input is detected. Suspend mode System operation is suspended. Most system functions are turned off to conserve power. Power to memory remains on, maintaining active data including files and programs that were open or running before system operation was suspended. The system does not respond to the pen. Off state All system functions are turned off to conserve power. The system does not respond to the pen or other input.
Your system may be configured to transition between these states automatically after a period of inactivity to conserve battery power. To determine the current system state, observe the Power LED. Table 1-1 on page 1-5 gives the different system states represented by the Power LED. (Note that if the Power LED is off, the Off state is indicated.)

Low Battery Pack Conditions
Table 2-1 gives details on system conditions for each charge level indicated by the Low-Battery LED.

Removing and Installing the Battery Pack
The battery pack can be removed from the pen tablet and replaced with a charged battery pack. You can then charge the battery pack that you removed in the optional external battery charger. You can remove or install the battery pack while the system is Off, in Suspend mode, or connected to external power. Caution
Do not remove the battery pack while the system is running unless the system is connected to an external power source such as the AC adapter. Doing so will turn off the system and can damage files used by the operating system or applications.
To remove and install the battery pack, 1. Suspend or shut down the pen tablet. (Save any important files and information in programs that you are using before shutting down the pen tablet.) For more information, see Suspending the System on page 2-6 or Shutting Down the System on page 2-8.
2. Slide the battery latch on the battery pack currently installed in the pen tablet to the open position as shown in Figure 2-2.

See the instructions that came with your external battery charger for details. 4. To install a battery pack in the pen tablet, slide the latch on the battery pack to the open position. 5. Slide the battery pack into the pen tablet until it fits snugly. Slide the latch to the closed position to latch the battery pack in place. You can now start or resume the system and use the pen tablet.

Conserving Battery Power

A fully charged battery pack can power the Point 1600 pen tablet for about 4 hours under typical use (with power management). Your results may vary depending on how the pen tablet is configured. You can extend the life of your battery pack by conserving battery power.
Here are some suggestions for conserving battery power: If you will not be using the pen tablet for a few minutes, put the pen tablet in Suspend mode (see Suspending the System on page 2-6). If you will not be using the pen tablet for an extended period of time, such as at the end of your work day, shut down the system. Select the low brightness setting for the screen by tapping the Brightness Hotpad (see Using Hotpads on page 2-10).
Using Connectors and Peripheral Interfaces
Connectors and peripheral interfaces on the Point 1600 pen tablet allow you to connect a variety of equipment to the pen tablet, such as a microphone, headphones, keyboard, or printer. You can also connect your pen tablet to one of several cradles, which allow you to connect to stationary peripherals easily.

1. Connect a phone line to the modem jack on the pen tablet. Figure 2-3 shows the location of the modem jack. (The built-in modem is designed for global use; however, an adapter may be required to connect your phone line to the modem jack in countries outside North America. Obtain an adapter from a local supplier if necessary.) 2. Start your communications software. You can now use the modem with your communications software. Refer to the documentation for your communications software for details on connecting to a dial-up service. Note the following when using the modem: If your telephone service includes a call-waiting feature, it should be disabled before you use your modem to avoid a communication interruption. Contact your telephone company for instructions on how to disable call waiting. If the modem does not appear to be responding, ensure that the modem is enabled and properly configured in your operating system software. Contact your local help desk or dial-up service provider for help configuring modem settings.
This chapter provides information on routine care and maintenance of the Point 1600 pen tablet. Information on troubleshooting some common problems is also given.
Protecting the Display Screen
The Point 1600 pen tablet is designed to provide you with years of service. Using a screen protector will help ensure that the screen remains as clear as possible. When installed, the screen protector becomes a durable, replaceable, antiglare writing surface that protects the display screen from abrasion. To obtain additional screen protectors, use order number FMWSP7 (12-pack). Additional information about installation is included with the screen protectors. Caution
During normal use of the pen tablet, small particles from the environment can become embedded in the pen tip and scratch the screen. To prevent scratching the screen, ensure that a screen protector is installed before using your pen tablet. The warranty does not cover a screen that is scratched as a result of not using a screen protector.
Installing a Screen Protector
To install a new screen protector on your pen tablet: 1. If a screen protector is already installed on the display screen, remove it before installing the new screen protector. The screen protector is held onto the display screen surface by a thin strip of adhesive around the edges. A notch in one corner of the screen protector allows you to slide your fingernail under the screen protector and easily remove the screen protector.

2. Clean the display screen surface by wiping the screen surface gently using a soft cotton cloth dampened with denatured alcohol. Ensure that all film has been removed from the screen before applying a new screen protector. Caution
The Point 1600 pen tablet is not waterproof. Do not pour liquids on the system or wash it with a heavily soaked cloth.
3. Remove the protective plastic cover from the adhesive side of the screen protector first. 4. Apply the screen protector to the display screen surface. When doing so, orient the screen protector with the adhesive side of the screen protector facing the display screen and the notched corner of the screen protector toward the lower left corner of the display screen. 5. Remove the protective plastic cover from the face of the screen protector. (The screen protector is shipped with protective plastic covers on both sides.) 6. Apply pressure to the screen protector along the edges. The adhesive sets completely within 48 hours. To ensure a good seal between the screen protector and the display, do not lift the screen protector from the display once it has been applied. 7. Wipe the screen protector with a soft dry cloth to remove any low-tack adhesive; this will help to prevent the pen tip from squeaking. The screen protector is now installed.
Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting

Taking Care of the Pen

The Point 1600 pen tip is made of a soft plastic material that is designed to minimize scratching of the display screen. With use, the pen tip may become worn or may pick up particles of dust or dirt that can scratch the display screen. Using a damaged or warped pen tip on the Point 1600 pen tablet may cause unpredictable results. If your pen exhibits problems, replace the pen with another Point 1600 pen. Replacement pens are available from your reseller (order number FMW27PN1, 5-pack).
Protecting the Pen Tablet in Harsh Environments
The Point 1600 pen tablet is designed for use in protected environments where there is no direct exposure to rain, mists, or sprays. Avoid exposing the pen tablet to these conditions. Note that using the pen tablet in a slip case or harsh environment case offers some protection; however, neither the slip case or harsh environment case renders the pen tablet waterproof or submersible.

Avoiding Overheating

The pen tablet monitors its internal temperature. As the internal temperature approaches the tolerable limits of heat-sensitive components, system functions are automatically limited or turned off to prevent heat damage.
Heat does not dissipate as efficiently when the pen tablet is installed in the harsh environment case. Ensure that the pen tablet is either suspended or off when external power is connected and the pen tablet is in the harsh environment case. This avoids overheating while the battery pack is charging.

4. A dialog box is displayed after you tap the last of the cross-hair symbols. Choose one of the following in the dialog box: OK: If you are satisfied that you tapped the cross-hairs accurately. (Your taps are used to calibrate the screen.) Cancel: If you do not want to use your taps to calibrate the screen. Recalibrate: If you want to try again. The calibration instructions reappear. (Go to step 3 of this procedure.) If you dont choose any of the buttons in the dialog box within 20 seconds, your new calibration settings are discarded and previous calibration settings are used. If you successfully performed the procedure above, the pen is now calibrated, and you can use the system as you normally would.

Troubleshooting

Solutions to some common problems are described in this section. If you are experiencing a problem with your Point 1600 pen tablet that you cannot solve by taking the actions described here, contact your local help desk.
System Will Not Resume or Turn On
If the system will not resume or turn on, check the following possible causes:
The battery pack may be discharged to the critically low level or may be defective. When the battery pack cannot supply adequate power, the pen tablet will not resume or start. Connect an external power supply (such as the AC adapter or a cradle that supplies external power), or install a charged battery pack in the pen tablet. The pen tablet might be too hot. To avoid damage to heat-sensitive components, the pen tablet enters Suspend mode if it gets too hot. The system cannot resume operation until it cools off to a predetermined temperature. Move the pen tablet to a cooler location and prevent direct sunlight form shining on it.

System Will Not Respond

If the system will not respond to user input or appears to be hung, you can turn off the system by pressing the Reset button. You can then start the system by pressing the Suspend/Resume button. The location of the Reset button is shown on page 2-14. Caution
Active data will be lost if you press the Reset button. If your system hangs frequently, there may be problems with your operating system configuration or pen tablet hardware. Contact your local help desk for further assistance if necessary.

Cursor Is Not Tracking Pen
If the cursor on the screen is not accurately tracking the pen or appears to be misaligned with the pen, calibrate the pen. See Calibrating the Pen earlier in this chapter for details.

Audio Volume Is Too Low

If the audio volume on your pen tablet speaker or external headphones is too low, check the following: Ensure that the volume level, set with the Speaker Volume Hotpad, is set to an audible level. Ensure that any volume control in your audio software is set to an audible level. The audio volume control in your operating system may be muted.
