While the MegaBoost 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter linked up to the Access Point or to other Wireless LAN station, the LINK LED will always light up. SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the MegaBoost 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter. Before insert the USB Dongle into USB port of your computer, please install the Utility Program first. Make sure that the MegaBoost 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter is NOT inserted into the USB slot. Utility and Driver Installation Insert the 802.11g Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer’s CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility. In some specific setting on Windows system, you may need to proceed the software manually, go to your Windows Start menu and choose Run, type “D:\Setup\Setup.exe” in the dialog box (D:\ will depend on where your CD-ROM drive is located). Note: (D:\ will depends on where the CD-ROM drive is located andwill depend on the Windows Operating System you are using). 1. Click Install to start the Utility and driver installation. 2. The Install Shield Wizard screen will appear. Click “Next” to continue. 3. Click “Finish” to finish the installation. 4. Plug-in your MegaBoost 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter into your computer’s USB port. 5. You will see the icon on the Windows task bar when you finish the utility installation and plugged the MegaBoost 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter. When the icon in the toolbar represents in green color, it is properly connected to the network and shown the linking quality. WIRELESS UTILITY SETTING Windows® XP users may use the built-in wireless utility as default. The following instructions are for Service Pack 2 users. If you are using Windows® 2000/98/ME, you must use the Wireless Utility. With the Wireless utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the Wireless LAN Adapter Utility. Double-click the utility icon system tray. that appears in the The Wireless LAN Adapter Utility includes six tabs: Link Info, Configuration, Advanced, Site Survey and About. Link Info The Link Info screen shows you the status of the Wireless Adapter, it shows that where the device is connected to, the connect Status, the connecting Speed, the network Type, the Encryption type, the SSID and the Signal Strength. Configuration This is the page where you can change the basic settings of the MegaBoost 54Mbps Wireless USB Adapter with the minimum amount of effort to implement a secure wireless network environment. SSID: The SSID differentiates one Wireless LAN group name from another; so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific Wireless LAN group name must use the same SSID. A device will not be permitted to join the BSS unless it can provide the unique SSID. Wireless Mode: If you want to connect with an Access Point/WLAN Router, please set to “Infrastructure” mode. If you have more stations and just want to set them as local network, please set the mode to “Ad-hoc” mode. Channel: It shows auto that used for Infrastructure Wireless LAN network. The channel number can be set only under the Ad-Hoc operation mode. In Ad-Hoc mode stations, each station must have the same channel number and SSID. In Infrastructure mode, the Wireless USB Adapter will automatically detect the channel number of the Access Point. Power Mode: There are 3 modes to choose: Continuous Access Mode (default): The USB Dongle is constantly operating with full power and it consumes the most power. Maximum Power Save: The USB Dongle consumes the least power and only operates when there is wireless network activity. Power Save: The USB Dongle consumes the moderate level of power. Preamble: Select Long or Short/Long (auto) Preamble type. Preamble is a sequence of bits transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry to reach steady-state demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different preambles and headers are defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and header, which interoperates with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as described in IEEE Std. 802.11), and an optional Short Preamble and header (as described in IEEE Std. 802.11b). At the receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only from the IEEE 802.11b (High-Rate) standard and not from the original IEEE 802.11. That means that stations using Short-Preamble cannot communicate with stations implementing the original version of the protocol. Support Band: There are two bands available for selection; 11B and 11G. Advanced The Advanced settings help you to control the Wireless Adapter to adjust with wireless devices in certain environment. Auth. Mode: Eight options are available: Disable, Auto, Open System, Shared Key, WPA/WPA2, and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. Select Auto, Disable for other authentication feature. If one of the two options is selected, it is required to select the Encryption mode from the next dropping list. Shared Key/Open System Network Key: Choose the encryption way, either in HEX or ASCII formats, and enter the password in the blank space. Key Length, Key Format and WEP Key: If you select 64bit in Hex format, you must type 10 values in the following range (0~F, hexadecimal), or 64bit in ASCII format, you must type 5 values in the following range (0~9, A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric). If you select 128bit in Hex format, you must type 26 values (0~F, hexadecimal), or 128bit in ASCII format, you must type 13 values in the following range (0~9, A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric). WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Click the Configuration button than enter a Passphrase in the Define WPA PSK dialog box. This Passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected to the wireless network. 10 WPA / WPA2 WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2) is the second generation of WPA; providing enterprise and consumer Wi-Fi user with a high level of assurance that only authorized user can access their wireless networks. WPA2 is based on the final IEEE802.11i amendment to the 802.11 standard and is eligible for FIPS 140-2 compliant. WPA2 is select, configuration is enabled. Please click the “Certificate” button. The below window is pop up. Then, please select the certificate that user wants to use and enter the server name and login name. 11 Site Survey Available Network The screen shows all the Wireless LAN devices around your Wireless LAN USB Adapter. The information of the wireless devices includes the SSID, MAC Address, Channels, Signal, the Security type and the Network mode. You can click the “Refresh” button to find the new wireless LAN devices, and double-click the device to choose the wireless station that you want to connect with. 12 Profile Add: Click “Add” to create a new profile, set the related values such as Profile name, SSID, Wireless Mode and Security settings than click ”Apply” to save the profile. Edit: Click “Edit” to modify existing profile, modify the settings than click ”Apply” to save the profile. Remove: Choose a profile name in the “Available Profiles” and click “Remove” to remove the existing profile.
