Configuring the USB Wireless Network Adapter
1. This screen shows you the status of your current connection. Click Re-Scan to
search for wireless connection (the adapter will search for the connection
automatically when it is activated).
2. Select the “Configuration” tab. The profile setting allows you to save
configurations in different profiles for different working environments. The default
profile will contain the initial configuration setting when you install the Card. Under
the Operating Mode drop-box, you may choose either Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
The Infrastructure mode allows a wireless adapter to communicate with a wired
network employing an Access Point, while the Ad-Hoc mode allows wireless-towireless, peer-to-peer communication. If you choose Infrastructure, the SSID
should have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc, all clients
should share the same SSID name. You may also select which Transfer Rate you
wish to use: 1, 2, 5.5, 11Mbps or Auto Rate. Under Power Saving Mode, you can
select Enabled to allow your adapter to go to sleep mode while the adapter doesn’t
precede the data transmission. Or select Disabled to make the adapter never go to
sleep mode. Click Apply to save the settings.

4. Click on the “Encryption” tab. Under the drop-box, you can choose to have WEP
encryption Disabled, 64-Bit, or 128-Bit. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an
encryption scheme used to protect wireless data communication. The Disabled
setting prevents the sharing of data with other computers on the WEP network. For
data sharing to be enabled, select the level of encryption desired, either 64 or 128bit.
5. Select the “Advanced” tab. You can choose the fragmentation threshold to
define the maximum data frame size your adapter will transmit. When the packet
error rate is high, you may set the threshold value to transmit shorter frames. You
may select RTS/CTS threshold to define when will your adapter send out
RTS/CTS frames to reserve bandwidth for transmission. By using the RTS/CTS
function, you may request bandwidth from AP to allow you have better chance to
send out your data. For the Security, it’s only applicable while WEP is enabled. For
the Authentication Type, the current supported algorithms are Open System,
Shared Key, and Auto. The algorithm will be invoked when associated to Access
Point. To associate to the desired Access Point you must set the same algorithm as
the one of the desired Access Point. When select Auto mode, the driver can auto
detect the Authentication Type of the Access Point you are going to associate. You
can also select Preamble Type, which is for framing synchronization. The possible
settings are Long and Short. The setting must be the same as the setting of the
Access Point you are going to associate.
