3.2.2 Configuration
Basic tab
The Basic tab provides general
information on network types and
other configurations.
Network Type. Select the type of
network that you wish to use. Select
Infrastructure mode to establish a
connection with an access point
(AP). In this mode, your system can
access wireless LAN and wired LAN
(Ethernet) via the AP. Select the Ad
Hoc mode to communicate directly
with other mobile clients within the wireless LAN adapter range.
Network Name - Displays the network SSID. The network SSID is a string
use to identify a wireless LAN. Assign different SSIDs to segment the
wireless LAN and increase network security. Set the SSID to a null string
to allow your station to connect to any available access point. Null string
may not be used in Ad-hoc mode.
Channel. In Infrastructure mode, wireless LAN adapter automatically
tunes in to the access point channel. In Ad-hoc mode, select a channel
that is allowed for use in your country/region.
Data Rate. Sets the data transmission rate to Fix or Auto. Select Fully Auto
to allow the device to adjust to the most suitable connection. You may also
fix data transfer rates to 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 11, 9, 6, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps.
Others. Click the WEP or Advanced link to open the Encryption or
Advanced property tab sheet.
Note: Operating the device at very high data rates reduces the operating
range. When the “Data Rate” is changed, the adapter will survey
available APs and connect to the AP with the strongest signal.

Chapter 3: Software support
Encryption tab
Wireless data transmissions
between your wireless LAN adapter
and the AP are secured using the
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
encryption. Check the Data
encryption (WEP enabled) option to
assign the WEP keys.
Check the Network Authentication
(Shared Mode) option if you wish to
use a network key to authenticate a
preferred wireless network.
Unchecking this option allows the network to operate on an Open System mode.
Key Format allows you to set a hexadecimal digit or ASCII character WEP key.
Key Length allows you to choose a 64-bit or a 128-bit WEP key. A 64-bit
encryption contains 10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. A 128-bit
encryption contains 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.
Two ways to assign WEP keys
Manual Assignment. For a 64-bit encryption, enter 10 hexadecimal digits
(0~9, a~f, A~F) or 5 ASCII characters in each of the four WEP keys. For
128-bit encryption enter 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, A~F) or 13 ASCII
characters in each of the four WEP keys.
Automatic Generation. Type a combination of up to 64 letters, numbers,
or symbols in the Passphrase field. The Wireless Settings utility uses an
algorithm to generate four WEP keys based on the typed combination.
All wireless clients in a network must have identical WEP keys to
communicate with each other or with an access point.
ASUS USB wireless LAN adapter
3-9
• 64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and
can interoperate on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP
encryption uses a 40-bit (10 hexadecimal digits assigned by the
user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization Vector assigned by the
wireless LAN adapter. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same
encryption method.
• After assigning the WEP keys, click APPLY to save and activate
the encryption. Manually assigned encryptions are more secure
than automatically generated encryptions.
• Use Manual Assignment instead of Automatic Generation if you are
not sure whether other wireless clients use the same algorithm as
that of wireless LAN adapter.
• Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.
3.2.3 Site Survey
The Site Survey window displays
the available networks within the
wireless LAN adapter range and the
following network settings.
BSSID - The IEEE MAC address of
the available wireless networks.
SSID - SSID (service set identifier) of
the network.
CH - Direct sequence channel used
by the network.
RSSI - Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) in dBm.
Type - wireless network mode. AP indicates an Infrastructure network
type. STA indicates an Ad-hoc network type.
WEP - shows whether a network has an enabled (On) or disabled (Off)
WEP encryption.
Select an available network and click Connect to establish connection.
Click Search to rescan available networks.
