3.1.10 Enable AP Mode Feature in Windows 2000 OS
In Windows 2000 Operation System, the local network won’t be automatically established
while using Wireless PCI adapter’s AP mode. Please follow the below steps to enable Internet
Connection Sharing feature first before you switch Wireless PCI adapter’s AP mode.
Step 1: After the Wireless PCI Adapter is installed properly in Windows 2000 Operation
System, go to Start Î Settings Î Control Panel Î Choose “Network and Dial-up
Connections” option. Right-Click your local area connection (such as another LAN Card in the
same computer), and choose “Properties”.
Step 2: In “Sharing” tab, enable Internet Connection Sharing for this connection and click
“OK”
48
Step 3: Back to Network and Dial-up Connection screen, right-click “Local Area Connection
2” (for 802.11n Wireless LAN card) and choose “Properties”.
Step 4: Select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and click “Properties”. You will see 802.11n
Wireless PCI adapter will be automatically assigned an IP address as Access Point.
Step 5: In the System tray, now you can switch 802.11n Wireless PCI Adapter to AP Mode.
49
Step 6: After switch to AP mode, Ralink Wireless Utility will automatically pup-up. The
Wireless Default SSID is assigned as “SoftAP-56”.
Step 7: To make sure your Soft AP is working properly, you need to use another computer
which with Wireless LAN feature to access SoftAP-56 AP. In the below example, use another
PC with Wireless feature in Vista Operation System. Go to Start Î Control Panel Î Choose
“Network and Sharing Center” option Î Click “Connect to a network” to search the
available networks.
50
Step 8: Select the network “SoftAP-56” and click “Connect” to establish the connection.
Step 9: After the computer is successful connected to SoftAP-56, Network and Sharing Center
screen will be shown as below. Click “View Status” to see the detail.
51
Step 10: In General tab, click “Detail…”, and then you can see the current Network connection
details. If this computer is successful connect to SoftAP-56 Access Point, the DHCP server will
be assigned to same IP address.
52

3.2.1 Profile
In the “Profile”, you can view and manage the current using Available Point(s). You can
Add, Delete, Edit, or Activate the current Available Point(s). Also you can duplicate the AP or
set current AP as Default.
53
Profiles Name: The Profiles List displays all the profiles and the relative settings of the profiles
including Profile Name, SSID, and Channel…etc; preset to PROF* (* indicate 1,2,3,…)
SSID: AP to Ad-hoc name.
Channel: Channel in use for Ad-Hoc mode.

54
3.2.1.1
Add a profile
By either pushing the “Add” button on Profile Page or the “Add to Profile” button on Site
Survey Page, it brings up the profile setting sheet which contains two setting pages -“Configuration” page and “Authentication and Security” page.
55
[Configuration page]
„
Profile Name: Name of the profile
„
SSID: Name of the desire network
„
Network Type: Network of the desired network, either infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the presence of a wireless Access
Point. All communication is done via the Access Point or Router.
Ad-Hoc – Select this mode if you want to connect to another wireless station in the
Wireless LAN network without through an Access Point or Router.
„
Tx-Power: The desired TX power level; the available options are 100%, 75%, 50%
and Auto. If you want to lower the transmit power of the adapter for saving the power
of the system, you can select the lower percentages from the list. The lower power
will cause the lower signal strength and the coverage range.
56
[Authentication and Security page]
„
Authentication Type: The authentication of the desired network. For infrastructure
network, the available modes are Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, and
WPA2-PSK.
Open: No authentication is needed among the wireless devices.
Shared: Only Wireless device using a shared key (WEP Key identified) is allowed
to connecting each other. Setup the same key as the wireless device that the
adapter intends to connect.
WPA: WPA provides a scheme of mutual authentication using either IEEE
802.1x/Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) authentication or pre-shared key
(PSK) technology. It provides a high level of assurance to enterprise, small
business and home users that data will remain protected and that only authorized
users may access their networks. For enterprises that have already deployed IEEE
802.1x authentication, WPA offers the advantage of leveraging existing
authentication databases and infrastructure.
WPA-PSK – It is a special mode designed for home and small business users who
do not have access to network authentication servers. In this mode, known as
Pre-Shared Key, the user manually enters the starting password in their access
point or gateway, as well as in each wireless station in the network. WPA-PSK
takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized users that don’t
have the matching password from joining the network, while encrypting the data
traveling between authorized devices.
57
WPA2 – Like WPA, WPA2 supports IEEE 802.1x/EAP authentication or PSK
technology. It also includes a new advanced encryption mechanism using the
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is required to the corporate user or
government users. The different between WPA and WPA2 is that WPA2 provides
data encryption via the AES. In contrast, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP).
WPA2-PSK – WPA2-PSK is also for home and small business. The difference
between WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is that WPA2-PSK provides data encryption
via the AES. In contrast, WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP).
„
Encryption: The encryption of the desired network.
-- For Open and Shared authentications, the available encryption modes are
None and WEP.
-- For WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK authentications, the available
modes are TKIP and AES.
None – Disable the Encryption mode.
WEP – Enabled the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to
continue setting the WEP Key Length & the key Index.
TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every
10000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network). This
insures much greater security than the standard WEP security.
AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and
authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by
IEEE 802.11i for the security in the wireless network.
Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure
the communication.
„
WPA Pre-Shared Key: The WPA-PSK key can be from 8 to 64 characters and can
be letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the wireless stations in
the network.
„
WEP Key (Key1~Key4): The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the
wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64-bit & 128-bit. Select the
default encryption key form key1 to key4 by selected the radio button.
Fill the text box by following the rule below:
64-bit – Input 10-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f, and “0-9” range) or 5-digit
ASCII characters (including “a-z” and “0-9”) as the encryption keys. For example:
“0123456aef” or “test1”
128-bit – Input 26-digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f, and “0-9” range) or 13-digit
ASCII characters (including “a-z” and “0-9”) as the encryption keys. For example:
“01234567890123456789abcdef” or “administrator”.
