HARTDWARE OVERVIEW
INSTALLATION
This section will walk you through the installation process. If you have a built-in
wireless adapter, please disable it in device manager before installing the EWC
Wireless USB Adapter. Also, if you have previously installed another wireless
adapter, please make sure any software is uninstalled.
Getting Started
Before installing your new D-Link wireless adapter, please verify the following:
Remove any previous installations of wireless adapters
Disable any built-in wireless adapters
Verify the settings such as the SSID and security settings of the network(s) you
want to connect to
Wireless Installation Considerations
The EWC Wireless USB Adapter lets you access your network using a wireless
connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless
network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls,
ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the
range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF
(radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless
range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the EWC Wireless USB
Adapter and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can
reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices
so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet
thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter)
thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position
devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of
at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs
may have a negative effect on range. Try to position access points, wireless
routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open
doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with
insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will
degrade your wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices
or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as
ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may
degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is
as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal
even if the phone in not in use.
Adapter Installation
Warning: Do NOT install the EWC Wireless USB Adapter into your computer
before installing the driver software from the CD.
Turn on the computer and Insert the Driver CD in the CD-ROM drive. The step-bystep instructions that follow are shown in Windows XP. The steps and screens are
similar for the other Windows operating systems.
CONFIGURATION
Windows® XP Configuration Utility
Windows® XP users may use the built-in wireless utility. The following
instructions are for Service Pack 2 users.
If you receive the Wireless Networks
Detected bubble, click on the center of
the bubble to access the utility.
Right-click on the wireless computer icon
in your system tray (lower-right corner
next to the time). Select View Available
Wireless Networks.
The utility will display any available
wireless networks in your area. Click on a
network and click the Connect button.
Refer to the Wireless Security section for
information on connecting to a secure
network.
WIRELESS SECURITY
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect
your data from intruders. The EWC Wireless USB Adapter offers the following
types of security:
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) • WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) • 802.1x (RADIUS)
What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard
and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP provides security by encrypting data
over your wireless network so that it is protected as it is transmitted from one
wireless device to another.
To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of
characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of
encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption
requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a
string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format.
ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The
ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be
defined so that you can change keys easily.
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve
the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding
an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered
with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard
instead of TKIP.
User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the
extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates access to a
wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address,
which is relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a
more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized
network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless
connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between 8 and 63 characters
long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the
exact same key entered on your wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible
Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key
encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the
network.
Configure WEP
It is recommended to enable WEP on your wireless router or access point before
configuring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an existing network, you will
need to know the WEP key being used.
1. Open the Windows® XP Wireless Utility
by right-clicking on the wireless computer
icon in your system tray
(lower-right corner of screen). Select View
Available Wireless Networks.
2. Highlight the wireless network (SSID)
you would like to connect to and click
Connect.
3. The Wireless Network Connection box
will appear. Enter the WEP key and click
Connect.
Configure WPA/WPA2 Passphrase
It is recommended to enable WPA-PSK on your wireless router or access point
before configuring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an existing network,
you will need to know the WPA-PSK key being used.
1. Open the Windows® XP Wireless Utility
by right-clicking on the wireless computer
icon in your system tray
(lower-right corner of screen). Select View
Available Wireless Networks.
2. Highlight the wireless network (SSID)
you would like to connect to and click
Connect.
3. The Wireless Network Connection box
will appear. Enter the WPA-PSK passphrase
and click Connect.
It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the
wireless network. If the connection fails,
please verify that the WPA-PSK settings are
correct. The WPA-PSK pass phrase must be exactly the same as on the wireless
router or access point.
