Wireless PCMCIA card 22 CONFIGURATION The Configuration screen allows you to customize the setting for the PC Card and your wireless network. The Network Type setting determines the architecture of your wireless network. Select Peer-to-Peer or Access Point mode depending on your network type. The Peer-to-Peer mode is used for a simple Ad-hoc network and allows the sharing of local resources only between PC Cards without needing a wireless Access Point. The Access Point mode allows a wireless network to be integrated into an existed, wired network through an Access Point. Infrastructure networks permit roaming between Access Points while maintaining a connection to all network resources and provide additional features, such as WEP security, power saving and extended range. The Network Name is the unique name shared among all points in a wireless network. The Network Name must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Wireless PCMCIA card 23 The Transmit Rate field shows the current transfer rate for the PC Card. To optimize performance and range, the Transmit Rate should be set to Fully automatic, which will automatically adjust the transfer speed for best performance and longest range. Power Saving Enabled, enables or disables the power saving features of your PC Card. This setting can only be enabled or disabled in Infrastructure mode. The Peer-to-Peer Channel setting specifies the channel used in wireless communication in AdHoc mode and should be set to the same channel as the other points in the wireless network. ENCRYPTION The 64/128-bit WEP keys can be generated from a user-defined passphrase. The Passphrase can be any text string with a maximum of 127
Wireless PCMCIA card 24 characters. WEP must be enabled from the Configuration screen in order to set the 64/128-bit key. To generate an encryption key: 1. Type exactly the same case sensitive PassPhrase in the PassPhrase field. 2. Alphanumeric will transfer the 5 characters to ASCII code. 3. Click the Apply button to create the encryption key. Te Passphrase generates four unique keys. 4. Make sure that the Default Key is the same for each point on the network. ABOUT The About screen shows the release information for the Configuration Utility. Wireless PCMCIA card 25 Installation for Access Point Manufacturer Align the wireless LAN card toward the PCMCIA slot of Access Point. Push evenly and steadily until it is seated.
