Network Configuration and Planning
The 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter supports legacy Ethernet LAN network configuration
options as defined by the IEEE 802 standards committee.
The 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter can be configured in one of the following modes:
● Infrastructure - Used for home networks, business networks, and public
hotspots when connecting to a wireless router or access point
● Ad Hoc - Used for peer-to-peer network connections when connecting directly to
another wireless adapter
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
An Infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a PC to a wired LAN and
doubles the effective wireless transmission range for two 802.11g 54Mbps USB
Adapters. Since the Wireless Router or Access Point is able to forward data within its
BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled.
The use of a unique SSID is essential. All 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapters that are in the
wireless network must be configured with the same SSID that is used by the access
point or wireless router.
The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale
wireless access to a central database or other central applications for mobile users.
An 802.11g Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one
802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter, that are connected as an independent wireless LAN.
The wireless devices in a specific 802.11g Ad Hoc wireless LAN must be configured to
share the same radio channel.
802.11g Ad Hoc wireless LAN configurations are appropriate for small departments or
SOHO environments.
The 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter provides access to a wired LAN for workstations. An
integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of
802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter users and a Wireless Router or Access Point compose a
Basic Service Set (BSS). Each 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter in a BSS can talk to any
computer in the wired LAN infrastructure through the Wireless Router or Access Point.

802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter User Guide
WEP is an encryption scheme that is used to protect your wireless data
communications. WEP uses a combination of 40/64-bit keys or 104/128-bit keys to
provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data
transmission. To decode a data transmission, each wireless client on the network
must use an identical 64-bit or 128-bit.
If you select WEP, you will need to select the Authentication Mode. You can
select either Open or Shared. The default setting of the 802.11g 54Mbps Router is
Open.
You can set the Default Key to either 1, 2, 3, or 4. If you enter multiple Keys, this
will determine which one should be used. This is a simple way to switch between
different networks that have the same configuration information except for the WEP
key.
You will then need to select the Key Type from one of the following: 40/64bit
encryption, 40/64bit encryption (ASCII), 104/128bit encryption, or 104/128bit
encryption (ASCII). If you select one of the Key Type options that does not say
ASCII, it is a Hex (Hexidecimal) Key Type.

process. Once communication is established, the key will randomly change. This
provides a higher level of security. It is recommended that you use the most secure
mechanism available on your 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter.
Note: WPA-PSK can only be used if the wireless network you want to connect to is
capable of employing WPA-PSK as an authentication mode. Many older wireless
devices may not be able to use WPA-PSK, so this should be verified before WPA-
PSK is selected. Non-matching authentication modes will keep you from being able
to connect to a wireless network.
When you have entered the information, click Apply.

● Fragment Threshold
● Preamble Type
● Transmit Power
RTS Threshold is the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send (RTS) signal must be
sent to the wireless receiving unit prior to the wireless sending unit opening communications. The
default is 2347.
Fragment Threshold determines how large a fragment is that is being sent before it is broken
into multiple fragments to increase throughput. The default is 2346.
Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for
communication between the 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter and the wireless router or access
point. This is used to detect data transmission errors. If your wireless network has a lot of traffic,
you should select Short & Long.
Transmit Power determines the radio level output of the 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter. This
determines the extent of the range that the 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter will emit a signal to and
receive a signal from. If you want a smaller transmission range for security purposes and to
reduce interference, select a lower level. If you want a larger transmission range, select a higher
level.

Next to the MAC Address list is the Channel column. This lets you know what channel each
wireless network is operating on. The 802.11g 54Mbps USB Adapter is compatible with both
802.11g products and the earlier 802.11b versions.
The next column is the Encryption column. If a wireless network has encryption enabled, you will
see a gold key on the network line. The only way to connect to a network that has encryption
enabled is to create a Profile using the specific security information for that network.
Next to this column is the Signal column. This provides a percentage indicator of how strongly
you are receiving the signal from each wireless network to which you can connect.
The last column is the Network Type column. You will see one of two icons in this column
indicating if the network is in Infrastructure mode or in Ad Hoc mode. If it is an Infrastructure
network, you will see an icon representing a wireless router or access point. If it is an Ad Hoc
network, you will see an icon representing a wireless adapter.
If you attempt to connect to a network that has security settings enabled, you will need to create a
profile and supply the necessary information. Refer to your wireless router's or access point's
documentation for instructions on how to locate the necessary security information. Some
examples of security information you may need are the SSID, the Authentication Mode, and the
Encryption Level.

Glossary
Access Point A networking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless
networks together.
Ad Hoc An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with wireless
adapters, connected as an independent wireless LAN.
AES AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which utilizes a
symmetric 128-bit clock data encryption. This is an option within the
WPA-PSK encryption method.
Backbone
This is the core infrastructure of a network, the portion of the
network that transports information from one central location to
another central location. The information is then off-loaded onto a
local system.
Base Station
In mobile telecommunication, a base station is the central radio
transmitter/receiver that maintains communication with the mobile
radio telephone sets within range. In cellular and personal
communications applications, each cell or microcell has its own
base station; each base station in turn is interconnected with other
cells' bases.
Bridge An internetworking function that incorporates the lowest two layers
of the OSI network protocol model.
BSS An acronym for Basic Service Set, this is an Access Point that is
associated with several wireless stations.
ESS An acronym for Extended Service Set, this is a roaming domain.
More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set.
Ethernet
A popular local area data communications network that accepts
transmission from computers and terminals. An Ethernet operates
on a 10-Mbps baseband transmission over shielded coaxial cable or
over shielded, twisted-pair telephone wire.
Infrastructure
This is an integrated wireless and wired LAN configuration. In this
type of setup, a wireless network is created by wireless adapters
connecting to a wireless router or access point. The wireless router
or access point can be connected to a broadband modem or to an
existing LAN to supply Internet connectivity to the wireless network.

Roaming
A function that allows one to travel with a mobile end system
(wireless LAN mobile station, for example) through the territory of a
domain (an ESS, for example) while continuously connecting to the
infrastructure.
SSID SSID stands for Service Set Identifier. This is the network name that
is used to identify a specific wireless network.
PSK PSK stands for Pre Shared Key. This is an element of the WPA
encryption standard.
TKIP
TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a
stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity
Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. This is an option
within the WPA-PSK encryption method.
WEP WEP stands for Wired Equivaent Privacy. This is an encryption
standard that provides a level of security and privacy that is
comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.
WPA WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access. This is an encryption
standard that is an improvement on the WEP standard. WPA
provides more sophisticated encryption and user authentication.
