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.Authentication Shows the authentication mode. Encryption  Shows the encryption type. Use 802.1x    Whether or not use 802.1x feature. Channel  Shows the selected channel that is currently in use. (There are 13 channels available, depending on the country.) Power Save Mode  Choose from CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) or Power Saving Mode. Tx Power    Transmit  power,  the  amount  of  power  used  by  a  radio transceiver to send the signal out. RTS Threshold  Shows the RTS Threshold of the device. FragmentThreshold  Shows the Fragment Threshold of the device. Add Click to add a profile from the drop-down screen. System Configuration tab:
-15 -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. 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  modes.
-16 - 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. 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 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.
-17 -Authentication and Encryption tab: Authentication Type:  There  are  seven  type  of authentication  modes  including  Open,  Shared,  Leap, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-None.  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.    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,
-18 -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-PSKauthentication  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 length. 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.802.1x tab:
-19 -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
-20 -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:
