GiSMO Communicator LED description

Function
GiSMO has three LED's, green, orange and yellow.
Each LED indicates one function:
Green - GSM
Orange - WLAN
Yellow - Charging

GSM LED
The green LED is used for indication of GSM status.
The functionality is as follows:

LED off LED on Slow flash Quick flash

= GSM module off = GSM module on, not registered = GSM module on, registered = GSM module on, communication in progress

Note:	Slow flash = 200ms on / 2 s off
	Quick flash = 200ms on / 600ms off

WLAN LED
The orange LED indicates the WLAN status.
The functionality is as follows:

LED off LED on LED flash

= WLAN in GiSMO off = WLAN on but not within coverage of a WLAN network = WLAN on, within coverage of a WLAN network

Note:

The LED will flash on all valid WLAN frames in the air, not just on it's own communication. This means that the more intensive the traffic in the air is, the faster the LED will flash. The characteristics of the flashing are quite similar to the LEDs in a LAN hub.

Charging LED
The yellow LED is used for charging indications.
The functionality is as follows:

LED off	= no charging
Slow flash	= charging of iPAQ battery, low current charging of GiSMO battery
Mid rate flash	= high current charging of GiSMO battery, no charging of iPAQ battery
Quick flash	= charging failure or battery failure
LED on	= charger on and fully charged battery

Note:	Slow flash	= 1 s on / 1 s off
	Mid rate flash	= 500 ms on / 500 ms off
	Quick flash	= 100 ms on / 100 ms off

Picture 28

Configuration example:
Change
Operating Mode:	Choose Infrastructure
Channel:	Choose Channel (doesn't matter which)
SSID:	(if no Encryption) Leave blank. !!!
	Do not use "any"
Tx Rate:	11 Mbps
Power Management:	Disabled
Submit

Picture 29

Operating Mode:
Infrastructure mode or Ad-Hoc mode.
Infrastructure mode allows the adapter to communicate with a wired network that employ an access point.

Ad-Hoc mode allows PC-to-PC, peer-to-peer communication.

Tap Change, change settings and then tap Submit.

Channel: (Picture 30)
Select the channel to be used. There are 13 channels* available.
In Infrastructure mode you do not need to select the channel manually, the channel will be set to the same as the access point automatically. In Ad-Hoc Mode, the channel being used should be set to the same as the other points in the network.

*Please note the restrictions regarding WLAN in France. See chapter Restrictive WLAN use in France for details.

SSID:
Key in the SSID to be used. (Picture 29)
The SSID can be either the SSID of the access point to which the station will be associated with in Infrastructure mode, or the SSID of the Ad-Hoc network in case the station will operate in Ad-Hoc mode. In the latter case, all stations participating in the Ad-Hoc network should have the same SSID.

SSID: Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the BSS. The SSID differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Because an SSID can be sniffed in plain text from a packet it does not supply any security to the network.

An SSID is also referred to as a Network Name because essentially it is a name that identifies a wireless network.

When one AP (Access Point) is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations it is referred to as a Basic Service Set (BSS).

Tx Rate:
Select the rate to be used among the following options:
1 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 11Mbps or Auto Rate.

Power Mgmt:
Disabled or Enabled
Select Disabled for uninterrupted data communication. Select Enabled to allow your Adapter to go to sleep mode, during which data communication could be interrupted.

MAC Address is assigned to the device by the network.

Encryption (Picture 31)
The device support encryption using 64 or 128 bit WEP-keys.

WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for wireless local area networks (WLANs) defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN.

Advanced settings (Picture 32)

Long preamble
Default setting. Set long preamble if the access point (or peer) use long preamble.

Short preamble
Set short preamble if the access point (or peer) use short preamble.

If you don't know whether the access point use long or short preamble start to test with long preamble. This is the most probable and common setting.
