Security Tab
Go to the security tab to set the security features for your adapter.
Click on this security button to turn on/turn off the security
function.
Turn on the security function, and set wireless encryption keys for your Wireless
Cardbus Adapter.
To prevent unauthorized access to your wireless network, WEP 64-bit/128-bit,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK encryption types are supported.
WEP
Security Type — WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is provided with the Wireless
Cardbus Adapter. WEP security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping
and intrusion by hackers.
Key Type — Select 40/64-bit encryption, 40/64-bit encryption (ASCII), 128-bit
encryption, or 128-bit encryption (ASCII).
Authentication Mode — Choose Open or Shared.
Default Key — Choose one key, 1~4, for encryption.
EZ Connect™ N Draft 11n Wireless Cardbus Adapter
12
Use Passphrase — Check this box to auto-generate keys for encryption. First,
check this box, then enter a string of characters into the space. Encryption keys will
be generated automatically.
When Key Type is set to 128-bit, only one key will be generated. If Key Type is set to
64-bit, four keys will be generated. Note that you must use the same passphrase and
default key on all the other clients in your network.
How to set up WEP:
If you are transmitting sensitive data across wireless channels, you should enable
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption. WEP provides a basic level of security,
preventing unauthorized access to the network and encrypting data transmitted
between wireless clients and the access point. WEP uses static shared keys
(fixed-length hexadecimal or alphanumeric strings) that are manually distributed to all
clients that want to use the network. WEP is the security protocol initially specified in
the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless communications. For more robust wireless
security, the Wireless Cardbus Adapter provides Wi-Fi Protected Access
(WPA-PSK) and WPA2-PSK for improved data encryption and user authentication.
Only one key is needed for WEP to function. However, the IEEE 802.11 standard
specifies that there must be four keys for each device. For security purposes, the key
should be changed on a regular basis. Multiple keys are supported to allow the user
to change keys with minimal disruption of the network.
To set up the WEP function, take the following steps:
1. Select 40/64-bit encryption, 40/64-bit encryption (ASCII), 128-bit encryption,or
128-bit encryption (ASCII) in the Key Type field.
2. To automatically generate keys, check the Use Passphrase box, and type in a
string of characters in this field.
3. In the Default Key field, select one key as the default key that you want to use for
encryption.
4. Click Apply Change to allow the settings to take effect.
Or
1. Select 40/64-bit encryption, 40/64-bit encryption (ASCII), 128-bit encryption,or
128-bit encryption (ASCII) in the Key Type field.
2. In the Default Key field, select one key as the default key that you want to use for
encryption.
3. Manually type in a string of characters in the corresponding key number field that
you selected in step 2.
4. Click Apply Change to allow the settings to take effect.
Utility Configuration
13
When setting up WEP without using the Use Passphrase function, if the Key Type is
set to Hex, only Hexadecimal characters (range: 0~9 and A~F) can be used. When
encryption is set to 64-bit, a maximum of 10 Hex characters can be entered in the
Key field. When encryption is set to 128-bit, a maximum of 26 Hex characters can be
used. If the Key Type is set to ASCII, and encryption is set to 40/64-bit, then 5 ASCII
characters can be used in the Key field. For 128-bit encryption, 13 ASCII characters
can be used.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Encryption Type
Wi-Fi Protected Access is a standards-based, interoperable security enhancement
that strongly increases the level of data protection and access control for existing and
future wireless LAN systems. It will be forward-compatible with IEEE 802.11i
standard. WPA/WPA2 employs a combination of several technologies to provide an
enhanced security solution for 802.11 wireless networks, including TKIP (Temporal
Key Integrity Protocol) for data protection and 802.1x for authenticated key
management. WPA/WPA2 provides a simple operating mode that uses just a
pre-shared password for network access. The Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode uses a
common password for user authentication that is manually entered on the access
point and all wireless clients on the network.
To use the WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK function, take the following steps:
1. Select Security Type, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK from the drop-down menu.
2. Type in the WPA/WPA2 Passphrase (Pre-Shared Key).
EZ Connect™ N Draft 11n Wireless Cardbus Adapter
14
3. Select ASCII or Hex in the Key Type field.
4. Click Apply Change to allow the settings to take effect.
If there is no authentication server on your SOHO network, you can issue the
Pre-Shared Key to the adapter that is connected to the access point. Be sure to use
the same key for the wireless access point and the connected adapter.
Notes:1. Manual Pre-Shared Key supports up to 64-Hex characters.
2. Type 8 - 63 Hex characters for the Pre-Shared Passphrase.
3. Do not use a key that is long and complex for your clients to type accurately,
as you might forget it.
4. A Hex (hexadecimal) digit is a number or letter in the range 0-9 or A-F.

RTS Threshold – This sets the packet size threshold at which a Request to Send
(RTS) signal must be sent to the receiving station prior to the sending station starting
communications. Devices contending for the wireless medium may not be aware of
each other. The RTS/CTS mechanism can solve this problem. The larger the
threshold, the faster the speed.
Fragment Threshold – Sets the minimum packet size that can be transmitted from
the adapter without being fragmented. Fragmentation can increase the reliability of

transmissions because it increases the probability of a successful transmission due
to smaller frame size. The larger the threshold, the faster the speed.
Preamble Type – The preamble is used to acquire the incoming signal and
synchronize the receiver. If all the clients in your service area support the short
preamble or can automatically set the preamble type, then setting the preamble on
the access point to short can boost your throughput. (Options: Short & Long, Long
only, Short only; Default: Short & Long)
Transmit Power – Move the slider bar up and down to select an appropriate
transmission power. Lower power reduces interference, higher power gives more
range.

Infrastructure Wireless LAN
The Wireless Cardbus Adapter can also provide wireless workstations with access to a
wired LAN. An integrated wired and wireless LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration.
A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PC users, and an access point
that is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any
computer in its wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network
resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via the access point.
The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the
wired LAN, but also extends the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by
passing their signal through one or more access points.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection
between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.

Setting the Communication Domain
Stationary Wireless PCs
The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication domain for each access point. For
wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID) for the
wireless card to the SSID of the access point to which you want to connect. Check with
your administrator for the SSID of the access point to which you should connect.
Roaming Wireless PCs
A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile workers. More than one
access point can be configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the
access points so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this
ESS can roam freely. All wireless adapters and access points within a specific ESS must
be configured with the same SSID and to the same radio channel.
