InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client 1 Introduction Congratulations on choosing an InstantWave Wireless Ethernet Client (WEC). This guide gives instructions on installing the WEC and using the configuration program. The InstantWave WEC is part of a family of easy to use high-performance wireless communication products. The family products also include: • InstantWave AP (NWH660) • InstantWave PC Card (NWH610) • InstantWave PCI Card (NWH630) The InstantWave WEC provides a wireless connection to the Internet or to shared resources for an Ethernet-enabled device. Once the WEC has been set up, all that is required is a simple cross-over Ethernet cable between the WEC and the device to be connected, e.g. notebook computer. Ad hoc mode allows Ethernet-enabled devices to communicate wirelessly WEC to WEC System Requirements System requirements to install and operate the InstantWave WEC are: • An Ethernet adapter • A PC running Windows 95/98/Me/NT4.0/2000/XP (only required when configuration of the WEC’s network properties is necessary) Placement Guidelines A few tips to mention that are particularly significant in a radio wave communications system: 1. Radio waves reflect or refract from buildings, walls, metal furniture, or other objects. This could result in performance degradation due to the fluctuation of the received signal. 2. Microwave ovens use the 2.45 GHz frequency band. InstantWave also functions in the 2.4 ~ 2.5 GHz band, and therefore shares some of the band with microwave ovens. This means that when a nearby microwave oven is in use, it may interfere with InstantWave signals, resulting in performance degradation on the wireless network. For the best performance, follow the guidelines below in placing the product: • Place as high as possible, in as open an area as possible
2 InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client • Avoid placing the WEC (especially the antenna) close to metal objects (e.g. file cabinets, metal cubicles, etc.) • Keep WECs as far away as possible from microwave ovens (10 meters min. is advisable) How to Use this Guide The Installation Guide gives complete instructions for installation of the InstantWave Wireless Ethernet Client (WEC). Use the WEC COMFig tool , see page 7, to change the default WEC settings. The WEC COMFig tool permits basic WEC offline configuration from a PC via an RS-232 cable/COM port connection. Terminology Used in this Guide Domain Name/SSID A “Domain” is most commonly used to refer to a group of computers whose hostnames share a common suffix. The domain is usually defined by the network administrator as a segment/subnet of a large network and may be made up of overlapping wireless cells. Wireless nodes can roam freely within the same domain without disconnecting from the network. Regulatory Domain InstantWave products use the unlicensed ISM (Industrial, Scientific, Medical) band to communicate through radio waves. Different countries offer different radio frequencies to be used as the ISM band. There are four frequency bands defined by IEEE 802.11: Japan (2.471GHz – 2.497 GHz), USA, Extended Japan, Canada, and Europe (2.4 GHz – 2.4835 GHz), Spain (2.445 GHz – 2.475 GHz), and France (2.4465 GHz – 2.4835 GHz). To use InstantWave in a country not listed above, check with your government’s regulating body to find the correct frequency band to use. All InstantWave products are supplied preset to the country of sale’s frequency band. WEP WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is an encryption scheme that provides secure wireless data communication. WEP uses a 40-bit or 128-bit key to encrypt data. In order to decode the data transmission, each wireless client on the network must use identical keys.
InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client 3 Application Scenarios Infrastructure Network An Infrastructure network is formed by several stations and one or more Access Points (APs), with the stations within a set distance from the AP. Figure 1 depicts a typical Infrastructure network topology. Figure 1. Infrastructure Network Print Server Ethernet Ready Computer Computer with Wireless LAN Card HubAccess Point WEC
4 InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client Ad Hoc Network An Ad hoc network is formed by a number of wireless stations (without an Access Point) communicating via radio waves. For the users, the shared resources on the wireless network appear exactly as they would on a regular wired network. The wireless operation of the network is totally transparent. Figure 2 depicts a typical Ad hoc network scenario. Figure 2. Ad Hoc Network Print ServerWEC Ethernet Ready Computer ComputerwithWirelessLAN CardWEC

6 InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client WEC Configuration Tool Installation Before adding a WEC into an existing network, you may need to set basic parameters, e.g. domain name (SSID), security setting (WEP), etc. in order to make it compatible with the existing network. Follow the steps below to connect the WEC to a PC for configuration: step1. Connect the supplied RS-232 cable to the COM port on the WEC and connect the other end to a serial port (COM port) on the PC step2. Connect the power block to the electricity outlet and then to the WEC DC5V port step3. Insert the InstantWave WEC floppy disk into the floppy disk drive and click Start/Run. Type a:/setup.exe step4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the WEC COMFig Tool installation
InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client 7 Using the WEC COMFig Tool The WEC COMFig Tool is a Windows based utility used to configure the WEC via a COM port connection between the WEC and a PC. It provides the following functions: • Sets WEC parameters (e.g., Network Mode, Domain Name (SSID), Security, etc.) • Diagnoses the WEC hardware and shows the diagnostic results • Upgrades the WEC firmware • Resets the WEC Configuration To start the WEC COMFIG Tool, click Start/Programs/Wec/WEC COMFig Tool. Connect The program opens with the WEC COMFig Tool/Connect card (Figure 5). Once a valid COM port is selected, the WEC COMFig tool will remember this port number and use it as the default port when the program is next run. The program will show Connected when a connection is made. Figure 5. Connect
8 InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client Password After connecting with the WEC, click on the Password tab to open the Password card (Figure 6). Setting a password prevents unauthorized changes to the WEC configuration settings. The password is blank by default. A password of up to 30 characters may be set. Figure 6. Password Service Click on the Service tab to open the Service card (Figure 7). The Service card provides access to the management features. Figure 7. Service
InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client 9 Click the View and Modify WEC Configuration button. The Configuration screen will open (Figure 8).

10 InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client Network Mode The WEC allo ws for two types of networking operation, Infrastructure or Ad-hoc. Domain Name (SSID) Identifies the wireless LAN domain that this WEC is in. Only WECs and Access Points with the same SSID can associate with each other. Each SSID may contain up to 31 characters. Empty SSID Click this button to clear the SSID history and reset the SSID to ‘any’. This allows the WEC to associate with the Access Point with the best signal quality, regardless of the SSID setting. Authentication Mode The Authentication Mode parameter controls the validation of the WEP Key. Open System On association with an Access Point, only the SSID setting is checked. The Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key will be checked only when a data link is made. Shared Key Both the SSID and the WEP key will be checked during WLAN association. Shared Key selection is not available when the WEC encryption method is set to disabled (see Encryption, page 11). In such cases the WEC will automatically use the open system authentication mode. Auto Switch When using auto switch mode, the WEC will try shared key authentication mode first. If shared mode fails, the WEC attempts to use the open system authentication mode. Transmission Rate Sets the transmission rate at which the data packets are transmitted by the WEC. Basic Rates This value determines the basic rates used and reported for this BSS by the WEC. The highest rate specified will be the rate that the WEC will use when transmitting broadcast/multicast and management frames. Available options are:
InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client 11 1 and 2Mbps All (1, 2, 5.5, and 11Mbps) Channel Number 802.11b WLAN operates on multiple radio channels. The allowed channels depend on the country you are in. When the WEC is running in Infrastructure mode, the channel number is auto set to the same channel as the Access Point to which it is associated. In Ad hoc mode, the channel must match the channel used by the other wireless stations you wish to communicate with. Select the channel you want to use. Refer to the Appendix, page 22, for channels supported in each regulatory domain. Regulatory Domain Identifies the country where the WEC is used. Each country has defined its available channel numbers and transmission power (see Appendix, page 22). WEC Address This is the MAC ID of the WEC. Firmware Version The current WEC firmware version. Important: In a multiple cell network topology, overlapping and/or adjacent cells using different channels can operate simultaneously without interference if the frequency distance between the center frequencies is at least 30MHz. For example channels 1, 7, and 13 are non-overlapping frequency channels. After making any changes, click the Apply button to make the changes effective immediately, without closing the dialog box, or click OK to accept the changes and close the box. Encryption Data encryption provides more secure wireless data communications. Click the Encryption tab to setup/change the security settings (Figure 9). The default is Disabled and initially the keys section will be blank.
12 InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client Figure 9. Configuration/Encryption The dropdown Method box lists three options: 1. Disabled (default) - Disables data encryption 2. 40-bit WEP - Enables 40-bit WEP encryption 3. 128-bit WEP - Enables 128-bit WEP encryption Key Generation - There are two ways to generate a security key. The first is by entering any text in the Passphrase field. The passphrase should contain multiple words and may include spaces, numbers, and punctuation characters; the passphrase is case sensitive. Click the Generate button. For 40-bit WEP, it will generate four keys, Key 1, Key 2, Key 3, and Key 4. Select a key number from the dropdown list of the Default Key box. If you do not manually select a key, key 1 will be selected. For 128-bit WEP, only one key will be generated. Click Apply. Another WEP key generation method is to insert the key values directly from the keyboard. The key value must be valid hexadecimal characters (0-9, and A-F). Enter your own key into one of the Key 1~4 fields. Select that field number in the Default Key box. Click OK.
InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless Ethernet Client 13 Ethernet This card is used to set the WEC’s Ethernet port settings. Figure 10. Configuration/Ethernet Auto Detect If Auto Detect is selected, the WEC will use the MAC address of the connecting Ethernet device as its MAC address. Fixed Address This option allows you to specify a specific Ethernet device MAC address that is allowed to pass traffic through the WEC. Always Connect Selecting this option keeps the WEC always associated with an Access Point, regardless of whether an Ethernet device is connected to the WEC. Idle Time The Idle Time option determines the amount of time the WEC may be idle (no packets received from or transmitted to it) before it disconnects from the associated Access Point. Specify a time from 60 to 60,000 seconds for this option.
