Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors Table of Contents Introduction……………………………………………..1 A Look at the Hardware……………………………….2 Hardware Installation………………………………….3 Configuration……………………………………..…….4 standard on the proven compatibility between two transfer modes and the high speed bit transfer that is desirable for multimedia application in Wireless environment. Introduction Augmenting the first ever 54Mbps transmission on the 2.4GHz bandwidth, ViewSonic is presenting to the WLAN community another high-speed option that is backward compatible to the well accepted 802.11b WLAN technology. In order to supplement the compatibility between 802.11b and 802.1g, Complementary Code Keying (CCK) is implemented to achieve the common bit transfer rate of 5Mbps. While Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is adopted by 802.11g for the high-speed transfer rate in a 2.4GHz range. ViewSonic VS10408 fully utilizes the benefits of 802.11g Features The PCI adapter has the following features: ! Wireless security using WPA with TKIP encryption, 802.1X with EAP-type Authentication ! 32 bit PCI Interface ! Backward Compatible in a 802.11b environment ! Plug & Play Installation ! Seamless roaming from cell to cell and between 802.11b to 802.11g A Look at the Hardware ViewSonic VS10408 Wireless 802.11g PCI Adapter has one Light Emitting Diode (LED), or link lights. The following table defines the behavior for the LED: LED Link Activity / Status Link LED Indicates the activity of the wireless network traffic. Hardware Installation Configuration Thank you for purchasing the wireless PCI adapter. The following instructions will walk you through installation of the PCI. If using Windows XP, you can use the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) utility to manage your wireless client adapter. You have the second choice. ViewSonic also provides you the wireless configuration utility. Step 1 Insert the supplied CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The software automatically starts the Installation Wizard program. To enable the wireless connection: Step 1 Step 2 Turn off your desktop. Follow the prompts to set up your adapter card. Step 3 Locate an empty PCI slot on your desktop computer. Step 4 With the adapter card product-label and LEDs facing up, insert the adapter card into the PCI slot. Step 5 Complete the installation instructions supplied on the CD-ROM. Step 6 Turn on desktop computer. Click the icon to open the configuration utility window. Step 2 The Wireless Network Properties window displays. Your computer automatically connects to the network displayed at the top of the Preferred networks list. and the value is case sensitive. Step 6 If the network requires Network Authentication, select the type of authentication required. WPA might require further Authentication options found on the Authentication tab. Match the setting used by the network. Step 7 Enter information for the new wireless network based on the descriptions in the following: Network Authentication Select if your access point requires authentication. Match the authentication used by the network. Step 3 In the Available networks list, highlight the network you want to connect and click Configure. Open: No authentication is used. Shared The Pre-Shared Key (PSK) authentication method is used. Step 4 A Wireless Network Properties window will appear. Step 5 Enter the Network name (SSID) of no more than 32 alphanumeric characters. This SSID is a network name that identifies the wireless devices in the network. All workstations and access points must use the same SSID to be able to communicate with one another. The SSID is a 32-character field, In enterprises, WPA will be used in conjunction with both wireless router and authentication server. In Small Office/ Home Office (SOHO) environment, where there are no authentication servers, user can use pre-shared key (PSK) mode in place of the authentication server. WPA: Wi-Fi® Protected Access (WPA) authentication (802.1X) is used with an EAP type. WPA consists of three main elements: an Authentication Server (typically a RADIUS server), WPA-enabled router or AP (called "Authenticator"), and a WPA-enabled client (called "Supplicant"). WPA-PSK: WPA authentication (802.1X) is used with a Pre-Shared Key, which enables you to enter a static Network key. Data Encryption Select the type of security encryption algorithm used. The available types of encryption are based on the type of the authentication selected. Disabled: No encryption. WEP: Deselect Network Key is provided for me automatically and enter the Key provided by the network. Available only with Open and Shared Authentication. TKIP: Available with WPA and WPA-PSK Authentication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) includes four algorithms: MIC (message integrity check), to protect packets from tampering; PPK (Per-Packet Key) hashing, to prevent weak key attacks; extended IV (initialization vector), to reduce IV reuse and the possibility that a hacker will collect sufficient packets to crack the encryption; and a re-keying mechanism, to change the temporal key dynamically. TKIP is the most commonly used encryption method; however, if your wireless clients do not support TKIP, the WX-5803 also supports AES (Advanced Encryption Security) encryption. AES will replace 802.11's RC4based encryption under 802.11i specification. Network key Enter the security key for data encryption, when WEP or WPAPSK is selected. This can be entered in ASCII or hexadecimal for WEP and in ASCII for WPA-PSK. Key index There are four Keys (1, 2, 3, 4) that can be selected for WEP. The key index selected here must match the network key index. The key is provided for me automatically Select if the key is automatically provided. Most often, the key is not automatically provided, so you have to un-check this box and enter the network key. If using a RADIUS server, the key is automatically provided. This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network Select if the network you are creating or accessing is a computer-to computer (ad hoc) network. If you are attempting to connect to an infrastructure network, then do not select this setting. Step 8 After entering the information for this network, click OK. The Wireless Network window is displayed and the new network is listed in the Preferred networks area. Step 9 Your computer is connected to the selected network when you see a blue bubble on top of the icon for that network. If the blue bubble does not appear, click Refresh. If it still does not appear, double-check that the wireless settings match the configuration of the wireless network. Visit our website at Step 10 Click OK to save your changes. Congratulation! You have successfully setup your wireless connection. www.viewsonic.com
