Status
The Status screen shows you the status of the Wireless
Adapter, it shows that where the device is connected to, the
Network mode, the Channel, the transmit rate and the
encryption mode.
There are two dialog boxes showing the data transmitted and the
data received. The two signal lines show the Signal Strength and
the Link Quality of the device.
10
Configuration
The Configuration function helps you to configure the
Network and the Security.
Network: the setting of the Network mode, the SSID and the
Channels.
z Network Mode:
If you want to connect with an Access Point, please set to
“Infrastructure” mode. Ifyou have more stations and just
want to set them as local network, please set themode to
“Ad-Hoc” mode.
z Network SSID:
The SSID differentiates one Wireless LAN group name
from another; so 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.
If the SSID parameter is “ANY”, it will detect the strongest
signal of the wireless station.
11
z Channel:
It shows radio channel numbers that used for Wireless
LAN networking. In Ad-Hoc mode stations, each station
must have the same channel numbers and SSID. In
Infrastructure mode, the 2.4GHz 802.11n MPCI Module will
automatically detect the channel number of the Access
Point.
Security: the setting of the 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.
z Encryption Mode:
There are two kinds of encryption mode, WEP encryption
and WPA-PSK.Click the Enable Encryption to activate the
security of the 2.4GHz 802.11n MPCI Module.
WEP-Key: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) relies on a
secret key that is shared between a mobile station and a base
station (Access Point).
WEP-Passphrase: the Passphrase in the dialog box helps
you to create a group of WEP key in the Key Setting.
z Authentication Mode:
Open System: with the same WEP key between the stations,
the stations don’t need to be authenticated, and this algorithm
was set to default.
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.
It is recommended to select “Auto” if you are not familiar with
12
the setting.
z Default Key (Key 1 ~ Key 4):
You can type the key that you want to use from Key#1 to
Key #4, and the key that you type will be the encryption
between the stations that you connected with.
z Key Length, Key Format and WEP Key:If you select 64bit
in Hex format, you must type 10 values in the following
range (0~F, hexadecimal), or 64bit in ASCII format, you
must type 5 values in thefollowing range (0~9, A~Z and a~z
Alphanumeric). If you select 128bit in Hex format, you must
type 26 values (0~F, hexadecimal), or 128bit in ASCII
format, you must type 13 values in the following range (0~9,
A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric).
Be sure that the 2.4GHz 802.11n MPCI Module and the wireless
station were set in the same key.
Note: After all the settings are completed, click Apply to save
the setting.
WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access pre-shared key)
is a simpler version that does not support 802.1x and requires a
separate RADIUS server for mutual authentication.
Enter a Passphrase in the WPA-PSK dialog box. This
passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected
to the wireless network.
13
Advanced
The Advanced settings help you to control the Wireless Adapter
to adjust with wireless devices in certain environment.
z Transmit Rate:
The Fully Automatic will automatically detect the suitable
linking transfer rate and auto fall back when the signal is not
too strong to transmit data, it will auto fall back from
300Mbps to 1 Mbps.
z 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, it is to prevent the
wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost. The
Default is Auto which access short and long preamble.
14
z Fragment Threshold:
Fragmentation Threshold is a way of transmitting the
packets that will be fragmented. Choose a setting within a
range of 256 to 2432 bytes. It is recommended to fragment
the packet when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the
wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost.
z 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 bytes. It is recommended limiting a long packet
to prevent each station waiting too long to transmit a data.
15
Profile
The Profile section 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, click “Save” and then
click “Apply” when a profile is done. You can click “Delete” if
