need to set wireless stations with the same channel. For 802.11 AdHoc, the same ESS ID
is required to the wireless stations.
You may right click
the WLAN system
tray icon to choose
the pre-set profiles
-23-
ESSID
The ESS ID is the unique ID used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN.
Wireless clients associating to any Access Point must have the same ESSID. The default
setting is ANY, which allows your MiniPCI Wireless Adapter to automatically associate to any
Access Point (Infrastructure mode) in the vicinity of your wireless adapter. Alternatively, you
may check the ESS ID check box to specify the ESS ID. It will then attempt to associate with
Access Points or stations with the same ESS ID. The ESS ID can be set up to 32 characters
and is case sensitive.
Check here before entering the ESS ID
If there two Access Points with the same ESSID, you may check the BSS ID check box and
enter the MAC address of the Access Point you desire to connect to.
Check here before entering the BSS ID
Transmit Rate
The GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter provides various data rate options for you to
select. Data rates options include Fully Auto, 2 Mbps, 1 or 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps.
In most networking scenarios, you will see that the factory-set default “Fully Auto” will prove
the most efficient. This setting will allow your GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter to
operate at the maximum data rate. When the communications quality drops below a certain
level, the PCI Card will automatically switch to a lower data rate. Transmission at lower data
speeds are usually more reliable. However, when the communications quality improves again,
the GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter will gradually increase the data rate again, until it
has reached the highest available transmit rate.
-24-
WEP
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the
WLAN Utility offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP, making your data
transmission over air more secure. To activate the WEP Encryption, check the WEP Enabled
check box. An Encryption window will then appear. The instructions are as follows:
¾ Pull down the Encryption (WEP) menu and select either 64bit or 128bit encryption
method.
¾ Specify the encryption keys. There are two methods to set the WEP keys, as described
below:
Create Encryption Keys by Using a Passphrase
To create encryption keys by using a passphrase, click the Create Key with Passphrase
check box and type a character string in the Passphrase field. As you type, the utility uses
an algorithm to generate 4 keys automatically. Select either the 64bit or 128bit encryption
first, and type a string in the Create Key with Passphrase field. Select one key from the 4
WEP keys and click OK. Then click the Apply button on the Configuration tab to make
the setting take effect.
Create Encryption Keys Using a Passphrase (128bit)
-25-
Create Encryption Keys Manually
You can also create encryption keys manually by clicking the Create Keys Manually
check box.
For 64bit encryption you may choose:
Alphanumeric: 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9” (e.g.
MyKey)
Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (e.g.
11AA22BB33)
For 128bit encryption you may choose:
Alphanumeric: 13 characters (case sensitive) ranging from “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9”
(e.g. MyKey12345678)
Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of “A-F”, “a-f” and “0-9” (e.g.
00112233445566778899AABBCC).
After entering the WEP keys in the key field, select one key as active key, click the OK
button and then click the Apply button on the Configuration tab to make the setting take
effect.
Create Encryption Keys Manually (64bit)
Note: The WEP key must be set up exactly the same on the Wireless LAN
stations as they are on the wireless Access Points. If you set “MyKey” for the
Wireless LAN PC Card, the same WEP Key “MyKey” must be assigned to the
Access Point or other stations.
-26-
Advanced
The WLAN Utility also offers the advanced configuration for user to set the GL2454MP-0I
MiniPCI Wireless Adapter under certain network environment. These advanced options
include Power Management, RTS/CTS and Fragmentation Threshold. To enable the advanced
configuration, go to the Configuration tab and click the Advance button.
Power Management
The Power Save option is designed to conserve battery life of you computer. When Power
Save is enabled, your GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter will go into sleep mode to
minimize power consumption.
Note: When power saving mode is enabled, the Access Points you use need to
support power saving as well so that the communication can be established.
RTS Threshold
RTS Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. “Hidden
Node” is a situation in which two stations are within range of the same Access Point, but are not
within range of each other. The following figure illustrates an example of the “Hidden Node”
problem. Both stations (STA) are within range of the Access Point, however, they cannot hear
each other. Therefore, they are hidden nodes for each other. When a station starts data
transmission with the Access Point, it might not notice that the other station is already using the
wireless medium. When these two stations send data at the same time, they might collide
when arriving simultaneously at the Access Point. The collision will most certainly result in a
loss of messages for both stations.
-27-
Thus, the RTS Threshold mechanism provides a solution to prevent data collisions. When you
enable RTS Threshold on a suspect “hidden station”, this station and its Access Point will use a
Request to Send/Clear to Send protocol (RTS/CTS). The station will send an RTS to the
Access Point, informing that it is going to transmit the data. Upon receipt, the Access Point
will respond with a CTS message to all station within its range to notify all other stations to
defer transmission. It will also confirm the requestor station that the Access Point has reserved
it for the time-frame of the requested transmission.
If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism
will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set. It is highly recommended that you
set the value ranging from 0 to 1500. The default value is Disable.
Note: Enabling RTS Threshold would cause redundant network overhead that
could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.
Frag. Threshold
Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along
in the wireless network. If your GL2454MP-0I MiniPCI Wireless Adapter often transmit
large files in wireless network, you can enable the Fragmentation Threshold by clicking the
Enable button and the mechanism will split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to
1500. The default value is Disable.
IRQ NO./IO Address
To avoid device conflict, you may modify the IRQ No. and IO Address for your device (Only
available under Windows NT).
-28-
Status:
The Status field on the Configuration menu provides the following information.
State: When operating in Infrastructure mode, this field shows the MAC address of the Access
Point with which the MiniPCI Wireless Adapter is communicating. When operating in Ad-
Hoc mode, it shows the virtual MAC address used by computers participating in the Ad-Hoc
network.
Current Channel: Shows the channel on which the connection is made.
Current Tx Rate: Shows the highest transmit rate of the current association.
Throughput: Shows the short term transmit and receive throughput in bytes/second, and is
continuously updated.
Link Quality: Based on the quality of the received signal of the Access Point beacon. There
are 5 states of link quality:
100%~80%: Excellent link.
80%~60%: Good link quality.
60%~40%: Fair link quality.
Under 40%: Poor or no connection.
Signal Strength: Based on the received signal strength measurement of the baseband processor
of the Beacon signal. Same as link quality, there are 5 states of signal strength:
100%~80%: Excellent signal strength.
80%~60%: Good signal strength.
60%~40%: Fair signal strength.
Under 40%: Poor or no signal strength.
You can click the Rescan button to force the radio to rescan all available channels. If your
link quality or signal strength is poor, rescanning can be used to push the radio off a weak
Access Point and search for a better link with another Access Point.
-29-
Link Test:
The Link Test tool helps you examine data transmission quality between your GL2454MP-0I
MiniPCI Wireless Adapter and any workstation on the network. By entering IP address of 2
remote station, setting ping interval and packet size, you may know whether communication has
been made successfully or not. Additionally, you may run the loopback test by clicking the
Look back button to verify the communication quality between your wireless station and
Access Point. The Refresh button is used for setting the counters back to 0.
AP Browser:
By clicking the Rescan button, the AP Browser can display Access Points around the working
environment. Besides showing the ESSID of each Access Point, it also displays BSSID,
Channel, Signal, Quality and Supported Rates. To join any of the displayed Access Points,
highlight the Access Point you desire to connect and then click the Join BSS (when there are
more than 2 Access Points with the same ESSID), or Join ESS button to join the group.
-30-
Site Survey:
When the Site Survey screen is displayed, the channel quality of all 14 radio channels will be
displayed. These channel quality measurements are shown on each gauge for the 14 radio
channels. The blue bar indicated the channel quality is clear and good. The higher the blue
bar is, the better quality you have (i.e., less interference). The yellow bar indicates the
channel quality is fair and the red bar indicates the channel is busy or having severe
interference.
