When the WIRELESS LAN utility is launched, an icon is placed in the System Tray, as shown below. To open the utility, right-click the icon and select Open. WIRELESS LAN Utility Icon Wireless Utility Setting With the AT-WCP200G adapter utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the Wireless Monitor Utility. Double-click the utility icon that appears in the task bar. The Wireless Monitor Utility includes the following tabs: ❑ Status ❑ Configuration ❑ Advanced ❑ Profile ❑ Network ❑ Statistics ❑ About 27 Status Tab The Status tab shows the status of the AT-WCP200G adapter. It shows where the device is connected, Network mode, Channel, Transmit Rate, and Encryption Mode. The other dialog box shows the Data Transmitted and Data Received. The two signal lines show the Signal Strength and the Link Quality of the device. 28 AT-WCP200G User’s Guide Configuration Tab The Configuration tab allows you to configure Network and Security. Under Network you can configure: ❑ Network Mode Set Network Mode to “Infrastructure” when connecting to an access point or set to “Ad-Hoc” if you have several stations and want to set them as local network. ❑ Network SSID The SSID differentiates one Wireless LAN group name from another. 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. 29 If the SSID parameter is “ANY,” it will detect the strongest signal of the wireless station. ❑ Channel It shows radio channel numbers that are used for Wireless LAN networking. The channel number can be set only under the Ad-Hoc operation mode. In Ad-Hoc mode, each station must have the same channel numbers and SSID. In Infrastructure mode, the AT-WCP200G adapter will automatically detect the channel number of the access point. Under Security you can set: ❑ Network Encryption This function is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping. A secondary function of encryption is to prevent unauthorized access to a wireless network, and it can be achieved by using the Encryption function. Check the Enable Encryption box to activate the security of the PCI Adapter. ❑ Key 1 - 4: You can type the key that you want to use from Key 1 to Key 4. The key that you type will be the encryption between the station that you are connected with. If you select 64-bit in Hex format, you must type 10 values in the following range (0 - F, hexadecimal), or 64-bit in ASCII format, you must type 5 values in the following range (0 - 9, A - Z, and a - z Alphanumeric). If you select 128-bit in Hex format, you must type 26 values (0 - F, hexadecimal), or 128-bit in ASCII format, you must type 13 values in the following range (0 - 9, A - Z and a - z Alphanumeric). If you select 256-bit in Hex format, you must type 58 values (0 - F, hexadecimal), or 256-bit in ASCII format, you must type 29 values in the following range (0 - 9, A - Z and a - z Alphanumeric). Be sure that the PCI Adapter and the wireless station is set in the same key. ❑ Create with Passphrase The Passphrase helps you create a group of WEP key in the Key Setting. If you input a phrase in the Create with Passphrase field, the group of key setting will be changed. 30 AT-WCP200G User’s Guide Note After all the settings are completed, select Apply to save the setting. Advanced Tab The Advanced tab allows you to control the AT-WCP200G adapter to adjust with wireless devices in certain environment. ❑ Transmit Rate You can choose one of the transmission rates as follows, 54 Mbps, 48 Mbps, 36 Mbps, 24 Mbps, 22 Mbps, 18 Mbps, 12 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 9 Mbps, 6 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, 2 Mbps, 1 Mbps, Fully Automatic, and Turbo Mode. In some specific wireless devices, the transmit rate can define up to 72 Mbps for 802.11g, select the Turbo Mode function to enhance the transfer rate of the wireless connection. The Fully Automatic and Turbo Mode will automatically detect the suitable linking transfer rate and auto fall back when the signal is not strong enough to transmit data. 31 ❑ Power Saving Select between OFF, Normal, or Maximum. ❑ Transmit Power By selecting the Transmit Power, you can select the Radio Frequency output power from Minimum, 12.5%, 25%, 50%,100%, or Auto. ❑ Preamble Type The usage of the preamble is to limit the packet size of the data to transmit. It is recommended to choose the short preamble when the link quality is bad. This is to prevent wasting time re-sending a lost long packet. The Default is Auto which access short and long preamble. ❑ Authentication Mode Open System - with the same WEP key between the stations, the stations does not need to be authenticated. Shared Key - with the same WEP key between the stations in this Authentication algorithm, this type will use packets with encryption by transferring a challenge text which will be acknowledge by both side of the stations. In order to choose which authentication algorithm will be used, you must know which one the station supports this algorithm first. ❑ Fragmentation Threshold Fragmentation Threshold is a way of transmitting the packets that will be fragmented. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2432. It is recommended to fragment the packet when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the wasting time of re-sending a long packet that is lost. ❑ RTS/CTS Threshold The RTS/CTS Threshold is a station initiates the process by sending a RTS frame, the other ends receives the RTS and responds with a CTS frame, the station must receive a CTS frame before sending the data frame. This is to prevent the collisions by each station. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2432. It is recommended limiting a long packet to prevent each station waiting too long to transmit a data. 32 AT-WCP200G User’s Guide Profile Tab The Profile tab allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile. Type a name in the Profile Name field to create a profile, select Save and then Apply when a profile is done. You can select Delete if the profile is no longer used. To activate another profile, choose a profile name in the Profile Name field and select Activate. 33 Network Tab The Network tab shows all the wireless devices around your AT-WCP200G adapter. The information of the wireless devices includes SSID, MAC Address, Channels, Signal, WEP type, and Network Mode. You can select the Rescan button to find the new wireless devices, and double-click the device to choose the wireless station that you want to connected to. 34 AT-WCP200G User’s Guide Statistic Tab The Statistic tab shows the real-time transmit and receive packets of the PCI adapter. 35 About Tab The About tab shows the Device Name, Regulatory Domain, Driver Version, Firmware Version, MAC Address, and Utility Version. 36 AT-WCP200G User’s Guide Technical Specifications General Radio Technology IEEE 802.11b Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) IEEE 802.11g Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Interface PCI Type II specification 32bit data bus Data Transfer Rate 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps (auto sense) Receiver Sensitivity 54Mbps: Typical -72dBm @ 8% PER (Packet Error Rate) 11Mbps: Typical -85dBm @ 8% PER (Packet Error Rate) Transmit Rate 802.11g: 13 dBm typically 802.11b: 17 dBm typically Frequency Range 2400 ~ 2497 MHz ISM band (channels 1 ~ 14) Modulation Schemes DBPSK/DQPSK/CCK/OFDM Channels 1-11 channels (FCC), 1-13 channels (ETSI), 1-14 channels (MKK-Japan), 10-13 channels (France), 3-9 channels (Israel) Media Access Protocol CSMA/CA with ACK Security 64/128/256-bits WEP Encryption, WPA Diagnostic LED PWR (Power) and LNK (Link status) Antenna Integrated Microstrip dual diversity antennas Physical and Environmental Driver Support Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows ME, Windows XP 37 38 Continuous Current Consumption 480 mA typical for receive mode, 650 mA typical for transmit mode Temperature Operating: 0o~ 40o C, Storage: -25o~ 70o C Humidity 10% ~ 95% RH, no condensation Dimensions 118 mm x 54 mm x 7 mm (W x H x D) Certifications FCC Part 15.247 for US, ETS 300 328 for Europe AT-WCP200G User’s Guide Regulatory Domains This appendix lists the IEEE 802.11g channels supported by the world’s regulatory domains.
