HON HAI PRECISION IND. CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE Section Two: Wireless Utility and Configuration The following sections describe the Wireless Network Configuration Utility. This utility provides quick access and friendly interface to configure the card setup. 2-1 Windows 98/ME/2000 Wireless Utility After installation is completed, a Wireless LAN Utility icon will appear in Desktop screen. Click it, then you will see the screen below. If you cannot find the icon, you can select “Start” ->”Program”->”Wireless LAN Configuration Utility” Icon. Card Status You can see the AP information that your card connected to. In this page you also can find Firmware Version, MAC Address and Frequency Domain. ESSID: An acronym for Extended Service Set Identifier, ESSID is the unique name shared among all clients and Access Points in a wireless network. The ESSID must be identical for all clients or Access Points participating in the same network. The ESSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Press ‘Rescan’ it will scan the specific ESSID that your profile set. If your profile set the ESSID to be ANY, then while you press ‘Rescan’, it will scan AP in the nearby area and choose the stronger one. From Link Quality and Signal Strength, you can tell the wireless transmission quality.
HON HAI PRECISION IND. CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE Profile If you want to use default Profile setting, then choose the DEFAULT at profile name. If you want to set up your own profile, then select PROFILE1 and you can change this PROFILE1 name to the one you like. There are two network types: Ad-Hoc: This mode is used for a simple peer-to-peer network. It offers file sharing between wireless clients without a wireless Access Point (AP). Infrastructure: This mode allows a wireless LAN to be integrated into an existing wired network through an AP. Infrastructure type networks also permit roaming between Access Points while maintaining connection to all network resources. Infrastructure mode provides additional features, such as WEP security, power saving and extended range. ESSID: You can either choose specific AP or connect to any AP in the nearby area. Power Save: enable it, so it will be triggered when your computer system is inactive.
HON HAI PRECISION IND. CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE WEP Key: Wired Equivalent Privacy, WEP is an encryption scheme used to protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses a combination of 40-bit keys, 128-bit keys to provide data encryption for your wireless network. AP and wireless card should use the same WEP key in order to communication. KEY Format: You can choose to enter ASCII Characters (0~9, a~z, A~Z) or Hexadecimal number (0~9, a~f, A~F) Default Key: The current KEY you choose. KEY1~4: If you choose 40-bit keys, then you must enter 5 ASCII Characters or 10 Hexadecimal numbers. If you choose 128-bit keys, then you must enter 13 ASCII Characters or 26 Hexadecimal numbers.

HON HAI PRECISION IND. CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE Advanced  If your network are configuring to a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network, select ‘Computer-to computer (ad hoc) network only’.  If you want to connect to a computer-to-computer and access point (infrastructure) networks are within range of your computer, click ‘Access point (infrastructure)network only’.  If you want to connect to a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network and both computer-to-computer and access point (infrastructure) networks are within range of your computer, click ‘Any available network (access point preferred)’. To automatically connect to available networks that do not appear in the Preferred networks list, click Advanced, and then select the Automatically connect to non-preferred networks check box. Define your network name (SSID) in the following windows, so your can join a specific wireless network. Check AP has WEP on or not. You wireless network will need to have same WEP setting with AP in order to communicate. If your wireless network don’t have any AP, check the ‘This is computer-to computer (ad-hoc) network; wireless access points are not used’
HON HAI PRECISION IND. CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE This window provides authentication via 802.1X. 802.1X, an IEEE standard that provides an authentication framework for 802-based LANs. 802.1X takes advantage of an existing authentication protocol known as the Extensible Authentication Protocol. 802.1x, giving someone secure, encrypted, wireless access on a Microsoft network will be as easy as setting a flag on the users domain account. What does this mean for the Home Network user? 802.1x will ensure that if and when you make the change over to Wireless Ethernet, your neighbour will not be able to access your wireless LAN!
HON HAI PRECISION IND. CO., LTD. HSINCHU SCIENCE PARK BRANCH OFFICE The ‘Advanced’ window offers Firewall and Internet Connection Sharing functions. Depends on your networking environment, you can select below functions. Appendix A Glossary Access Point - An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks together. Ad-Hoc - Ad-Hoc is a peer- to-peer wireless network without Access Point. A group of wireless clients consistent an independent wireless LAN. Backbone - The core infrastructure of a network, the portion of the network that transports information from one central location to another central location. The information is then off-loaded onto a local system. BSS - Stands for “Basic Service Set.” An Access Point associated with several wireless stations. ESS - Stands for “Extended Service Set.” More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set. An ESS is basically a roaming domain. Ethernet - A popular local area data communications network, originally developed by Xerox Corp., which accepts transmission from computers and terminals. Ethernet operates on 10/100 Mbps transmission rate over shielded coaxial cable or over shielded twisted pair telephone wire. Infrastructure - An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Roaming - A function that allows one to travel with a mobile end system (wireless LAN mobile station, for example) through the territory of a domain (an ESS, for example) while continuously connecting to the infrastructure.
