Click this button to hide the information of Status Section.
Profile Tab
Profile Name You may enter a distinctive name of profile in this
column. The default is PROF# (# 1, #2, #3....)
SSID The SSID is the unique name shared among all points in
your wireless network.
Network Type Shows the network type of the device, including
infrastructure and Ad-Hoc.
Authentication Shows the authentication mode.
Encryption Shows the encryption type.
Use 802.1x Whether use 802.1x feature or not.
- 13 -
Tx Power Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio
transceiver to send the signal out.
Channel Shows the selected channel that is currently in use. (There
are 14 channels available, depending on the country.)
Power Save
Mode Choose from CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) or Power
Saving Mode.
RTS Threshold Shows the RTS Threshold of the device.
Fragment
Threshold Shows the Fragment Threshold of the device.
Add Click to add a profile from the drop-down screen.
System Configuration tab:
Profile Name: User can enter profile name, or use default
name defined by system. The default is PROF# (# 1, #2,
#3....).
SSID: The SSID is the unique name shared among all
points in your wireless network. The name must be
identical for all devices and points attempting to connect
to the same network. User can use pull-down menu to
select from available APs.
- 14 -
Power Save Mode:
• CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): When this mode is
selected, the power supply will be normally provided
even when there is no throughput.
• PSM (Power Saving Mode): When this mode is
selected, this device will stay in power saving mode
even when there is high volume of throughput.
Network Type: There are two types, Infrastructure and
Ad hoc modes. Under Ad hoc mode, user can also choose
the preamble type, the available preamble type includes
Auto and Long. In addition to that, the channel field will
be available for setup in Ad-hoc mode.
• The Infrastructure is intended for the connection
between wireless network cards and an Access Point.
With the wireless adapter, you can connect wireless
LAN to a wired global network via an Access Point.
• The Ad hoc lets you set a small wireless workgroup
easily and quickly. Equipped with the wireless
adapter, you can share files and printers between each
PC and laptop.
Tx Power: Select the Tx power percentage from the
pull-down list including Auto, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%,
10% and Lowest.
Preamble: A preamble is a signal used in wireless
environment to synchronize the transmitting timing
including Synchronization and Start frame delimiter.
Select from the pull-down menu to change the Preamble
type into Auto or Long.
RTS Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold
number by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. The
default value is 2347. RTS/CTS Threshold is a mechanism
implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. If
the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, users have to
specify the packet size. The RTS/CTS mechanism will be
activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.
Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
- 15 -
modifications of this value are recommended.
Fragment Threshold: User can adjust the Fragment
threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value
directly. The default value is 2346. The mechanism of
Fragmentation Threshold is used to improve the efficiency
when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If
your Wireless LAN Adapter often transmits large files in
wireless network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold
value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256
to 2346.
Authentication and Encryption tab:
Authentication Type: There are seven type of
authentication modes including Open, Shared, Leap,
WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.
• Open: If your access point/wireless router is using
"Open” authentication, then the wireless adapter will
need to be set to the same authentication type.
- 16 -
• Shared: Shared Key is when both the sender and the
recipient share a secret key.
• LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is
an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco
Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using
dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual
authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.)
• WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK offers two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or
AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63
characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.
Encryption Type: For Open and Shared authentication
mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP.
For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication mode, the encryption type supports both
TKIP and AES.
WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret between
AP and STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK
authentication mode, this field must be filled with
character longer than 8 and less than 32 lengths.
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption
algorithm. The key must match with the AP’s key. There
are several formats to enter the keys.
• Hexadecimal (40bits): 10 Hex characters.
• Hexadecimal (128bits): 32Hex characters.
• ASCII (40bits): 5 ASCII characters.
• ASCII (128bits): 13 ASCII characters.
Show Password: Check this box to show the password
you entered.
802.1x Setting: When user use radius server to
authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication
mode.
- 17 -
802.1x tab:
EAP Method:
• PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol.
PEAP transport securely authentication data by using
tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication
server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients
using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the
implementation and administration of a secure
wireless LAN.
• TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security.
Provides for certificate-based and mutual
authentication of the client and the network. It relies
on client-side and server-side certificates to perform
authentication and can be used to dynamically
generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to
secure subsequent communications between the
WLAN client and the access point.
• TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This
security method provides for certificate-based, mutual
authentication of the client and network through an
- 18 -
encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS
requires only server-side certificates.
• EAP-FAST: Flexible Authentication via Secure
Tunneling. It was developed by Cisco. Instead of
using a certificate, mutual authentication is achieved
by means of a PAC (Protected Access Credential)
which can be managed dynamically by the
authentication server. The PAC can be provisioned
(distributed one time) to the client either manually or
automatically. Manual provisioning is delivery to the
client via disk or a secured network distribution
method. Automatic provisioning is an in-band, over
the air, distribution. For tunnel authentication, only
support "Generic Token Card" authentication now.
• MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge.
Challenge is an EAP authentication type that provides
base-level EAP support. It provides for only one-way
authentication - there is no mutual authentication of
wireless client and the network.
Tunnel Authentication:
• Protocol: Tunnel protocol, List information including
EAP-MSCHAP v2, EAP-TLS/Smart card, and
Generic Token Card.
• Tunnel Identity: Identity for tunnel.
• Tunnel Password: Password for tunnel.
Session Resumption: User can click the box to enable or
disable this function.
ID\PASSWORD tab:
- 19 -
ID/ PASSWORD: Identity and password for server.
• Authentication ID / Password: Identity, password
and domain name for server. Only "EAP-FAST" and
"LEAP" authentication can key in domain name.
Domain name can be keyed in blank space.
• Tunnel ID / Password: Identity and Password for
server.
Show Password: Check this box to show the password
you entered.
