D. 3 Using the Wireless LAN Configuration Utility The Wireless LAN Configuration Utility appears as an icon on the system tray of Windows while the card is running. You can open it by clicking on the icon. While the station is in infrastructure mode and not associated to an Access Point, the color of the icon is red. As soon as the station associates to an Access Point, the icon color automatically turns to “Green”. In Ad-Hoc mode the color is always Green, except when the card is resetting and initializing where it turns to “Purple” during the reset and initialization procedure. The Wireless LAN Configuration Utility is a highly integrated application include the following options (tabs), ?? General ?? Statistics ?? Site Survey ?? Encryption ?? Advanced ?? About General : A typical screen of the application in Infrastructure mode is shown in Figure 1-1. The configuration parameters are shown at the top of the screen.

8 The fields in this menu provide the following information: Network Type : The HTK WLAN Interface adapter can operate in one of two types of networks, which are specified in the Network Type: field of the Configuration menu. Clicking the down arrow at the right of this field displays the available types. 1. AdHoc: IEEE 802.11, the standard on which the WLAN protocol is based, defines two modes to handle two separate needs. The first, called AdHoc (or IBSS) mode, is used when two or more wirelessly-enabled PCs wish to exchange data directly, without an Access Point. In this case the PCs can establish a peer-to-peer network in which they are the only members and over which they can exchange data. To exchange data, each computer participating in the AdHoc network must also specify the same 2. Infrastructure: The second mode defined by the IEEE 802.11 standard is called infrastructure mode, and is the primary application for WLAN operation. In this mode all data on the wireless network is directed to an Access Point, which then routes the data to the appropriate wireless station. The Access Point may also be configured to allow data to be bridged from the wireless network to wired networks. To participate in a wireless LAN in infrastructure mode, every station and Access Point must specify the same Network Name. In infrastructure mode, all available channels are scanned for
9traffic, so there is no need to specify a channel. SSID: Officially, in wireless networks the network name is known as the SSID (Service Set ID entifier), and is used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN. Your HTK WLAN Interface adapter scans the available channels looking for an Access Point or another station which has specified this same SSID. It then attempts to associate with these Access Points or stations to form a wireless LAN. To change the SSID, simply highlight it, type the new SSID, and click the Apply button. In typical infrastructure applications a company will use a single SSID for all Access Points. If the radio is scanning and cannot find a channel when an Access Point is known to be in range, verify that the Network Name is set correctly. Channel: shows the channel on which the connection is made. In Infrastructure mode, this number changes as the radio scans the available channels. Desired Rate: shows the current transmit rate of the current association Profile: HTK WLAN Wireless LAN Configuration Utility provides the easy to use profile function. Profile memorize the Network settings include Network Type, SSID, Desired Rate and Encryption Key. User can enter profile name of current setting (Up to 10 sets). Users can recall the settings by clicking the scroll button or “Right- Clicking” the icon in system tray then choose the proper profile list. Status: shows the association state of your computer with the wireless LAN. When operating in Infrastructure mode, this field shows the MAC address of the Access Point with which you are communicating. When operating in Peer-to Peer mode, this field shows the virtual MAC address used by computers participating in the AdHoc Signal Strength: is based on the received signal strength measurement of the baseband processor of the Beacon signal. Link Quality: is based on the quality of the received signal of Access Point beacon. Network Address: shows the current Network status such as MAC address (Wireless Card), DHCP (Enable or not), IP address, Subnet Mask address, Gateway Address and DNS server address. Statistics : This option enables you to view the available statistic information (Total Packet Number, Error Packet
10 Number, FER-Frame Error Rate, Throughput). In order to reset or update this statistics list, press the “Reset” button”. Site Survey : By choosing the Site Survey option, you can scan all the channels to find all the access points within the range of your card. In Figure 1-3, the list includes information about the BSSID and SSID of the access point(s), the Channel, Mode (Network Type), whether or not WEP encryption is used, signal strength and Support Rate. In order to update this list, press the “Rescan” button. If you want to associate with any of the access point(s) listed, Double-clicking on your choice and the system will take you back to the General screen showing you the parameters of the connection newly established.
11 Encryption : By choosing this option, you can set 4 different WEP keys and specify which one of them to use. If you decide to use encryption, you can choose any of the available WEP keys (1 to 4) and the “Encryption Key Length”. You also have the option to select the “Authentication Type (Open system/Shared key)”. In order to take effect of the changes you wish to make, press the “Apply” button at the bottom of the screen.
12 Advanced : Choosing the Advanced option, you can change advanced configuration settings, such as the Power Saving mode, Preamble Type, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS/CTS Threshold (See Figure 1-5). Figure 1-5 shows the recommended configuration for the advanced settings. Before selecting Short Preamble, make sure that the other stations and APs are also supporting this feature.
13 About : By choosing this option, you can view basic information about the Utility such as the Driver and Application Version. And you can click the hyperlink to connect the website for technical support.
