Network Name (SSID)
Use the SSID field to configure the SSID for the WLAN Card. You can enter a new
SSID or select one from the drop-down list box. SSID stands for “Service Set Identifier”,
which is a string used to identify a wireless LAN. You will only be able to connect
Access Points which has the same SSID as the one you set. Use different SSIDs to
segment the wireless LAN and increase security. SSIDs must all be printable characters
and having a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such as “ Wireless LAN”.
NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string, if you wish to allow your station
to connect to any Access Point it can find. But you cannot use null
string in Ad Hoc mode.
Channel
Use the Channel field to select the radio channel for WLAN Card. In an "infrastructure"
network, your WLAN Card will automatically select the correct frequency channel
required to communicate with an Access Point, this parameter will be fixed in "Auto"
and cannot be changed. In an "Ad Hoc" network, you can decide the channel number
for the WLAN Card. Any WLAN Card can communicate in the same network if they
have the same frequency channel setting.
The radio channels you may use depend on the regulations in your country. For United
States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channels 1 to 11 are supported. For Europe (ETSI),
channels 1 to 13 are supported. For operation in Japan (MKK), channels 1 to 14 are
supported.
Data Rate
Select the transmit data rate (fix or auto). The data rates supported for the WLAN
Cards are:
Auto – The adapter will adjust to the most suitable transmission rate.
Fix – 11g: Fix data rate to 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps.

Config - Encryption
Lets you configure the Wireless LAN Card encryption settings. For data confidentiality
in a wireless environment, IEEE 802.11 specifies a Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
algorithm to offer transmission privacy similar to wired network. The WEP uses keys
to encrypt transmit data packets and decrypt received data packets. The encryption
process can scramble frame bits to avoid disclosure to others. The WPA (Wi-Fi Protected
Access) is an improved security system for 802.11 that encryption data sent over radio
waves. The WPA was developed to overcome the weakness of the WEP protocol.
Network Authentication
Because there is no precise bound in wireless LANs, it needs to be implemented in
another mechanism to provide higher level of security. That is where Authentication
services come in. If a mutual authentication relationship has not been established between
stations and Access Point, an association cannot be established.
Open - Select this option allows the network to operate on an Open System mode. A
null authentication algorithm. A station can authenticate with any other station or Access
Point and without checking any WEP Key, even if one exists.
Shared - Select this option allows the network to operate on an Shared Key mode. In a
Share Key Authentication system, four-step exchange of frames is required to validate
that the station is using the same WEP Key as the Access Point.
WPA-PSK - Specifies the use of a preshared key with infrastructure mode. Enables
WPA Preshared key, which enables your client adapter to associate to Access Point
using WPA-PSK.
WPA-None - Specifies the use of a preshared key with Ad Hoc mode.
16 ASUS WLAN Card
Quick Start Guide
English
WPA - The network is operating in IEEE 802.1x authentication mode. This mode is
environments with a RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-in User Service) infrastructure. In
a RADIUS environment, various Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) are
supported, including PEAP, TLS/Smart Card, TTLS, and LEAP.
Data encryption
For open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are Disable
and WEP. For WPA-PSK and WPA authentication mode, it must support TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) encryption, and may support AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard) encryption.
Disabled - Disable the encryption function.
WEP - A WEP Key is used to encrypt your data before it is transmitted over the air. You
will only be able to communicate with wireless devices that have use the same WEP
keys.
TKIP: TKIP uses an encryption algorithm methods which is more stringent than the
WEP algorithm and also uses existing WLAN calculation facilities to perform encryption
operations. TKIP verifies the security configuration after the encryption keys are
determined.
AES: AES is a symmetric 128-bit block encryption technique which works
simultaneously on multiple network layers.
Wireless Network Key
Selecting “TKIP” or “AES” in the encryption filed is used as a password to begin the
encryption proceed. Note: 8 to 63 characters are required.
Wireless Network Key (WEP)
This option is enable only if you enable WEP Encryption. The WEP Key is a 64 bits (5
byte) or 128 bits (13 byte) Hexadecimal digits that is used to encrypt transmit data
packets and decrypt received data packets.
Key Format
You can enter the WEP Key as a Hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F), or as ASCII
characters, based on the state of the Key Format.
Key Length
For 64 bits encryption, each Key contains exactly 10 hex digits, or 5 ASCII characters.
For 128 bits encryption, each Key contains exactly 26 hex digits, or 13 ASCII characters.
ASUS WLAN Card 17
Quick Start Guide
English
Two ways to assign WEP keys
1. Manual Assignment - When you click this button, the cursor appears
in the field for Key 1. For 64-bit encryption, you are required to enter
four WEP Keys. Each Key contains exactly 10 hex digits (0~9, a~f, and
A~F). For 128-bit encryption, you are required to enter four WEP Keys.
Each Key contains exactly 26 hex digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F).
2. Automatic Generation - Type a combination of up to 64 letters, num-
bers, or symbols in the Passphrase column, then the Wireless Settings
Utility uses an algorithm to generate four WEP Keys for encryption.
NOTE: This function ease users from having to remember their pass-
words and is compatible to some existing WLAN utilities, but it is
not very secure. “Manual Assignment” is more secure.
Select one as your Default Key
The Default Key field lets you specify which of the four encryption keys you use to
transmit data on your wireless LAN. You can change the default key by clicking on the
down arrow at the right of this field, selecting the number of the key you want to use
and then clicking the Apply button. As long as the Access Point or station with which
you are communicating has the same key in the same position, you can use any of the
keys as the default.
You then click the Apply button to create your encryption keys. After you click the
Apply button, the Wireless Settings Utility uses asterisks to mask your keys.
Status - Advanced
This section allows you to set up additional
parameters for the wireless router function.
We recommend that you use the default
values for all items in this window.
RTS Threshold (0-2347)
The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to
Send) function is used to minimize collisions
among wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is
enabled, the router refrains from sending a
data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting
a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346)
Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are

sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet
size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment
with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions.
The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.
Preamble Mode
This parameter is used to control whether frames will transmit with the Long or Short
Preamble. The default value is Long Tx Preamble.
Frame Bursting
Frame Bursting technology is standards-based Wi-Fi performance enhancement
technology that improves wireless network efficiency and boosts throughput.
54g Mode
54g LRS (Limited Rate Support) - is used to communicate with older 11b clients
that only support 4 rates. But 54g cards can still use all 12 rates.
54g Auto - support both 802.11b and 802.11g adapters.
54g Performance - will support ONLY high-performance 54g adapters.
All of these modes only pertain to when the STA is creating their own IBSS network.
802.11b only - support both 802.11b adapters.
All of these modes only pertain to when the STA is creating their own IBSS network.
The default ad-hoc mode is 802.11b only.
