3. Wireless Network Configuration Utility
The Configuration Utility is an application that helps you to configure the Wireless LAN PCI
Card and monitor the link status and statistics during the communication process.
3.1 General
In the “Configuration”, you can immediately monitor the link status.
3.2 Profile
In the “Profile”, you can view the current using Available Point(s). You can add, remove or edit
the current Available Point(s). Also you can duplicate the AP or Set current AP as Default.
22
3.3 Available Network
The “Available Network” shows all Access Points, Routers or Adapters nearby when
operating in Ad-Hoc mode.
Click “Refresh” button to collect the SSID and Channel information of all the wireless devices
nearby. If you want to connect to any device on the list, double-click the item on the list, and
the card will automatically connect to the selected device.
If you want to add one Access Point to the profile, click “Add to Profile” button. The Wireless
network properties windows will display. You can configure your Wireless Network Security
for the card.
[Network Authentication]
-- Open System: No authentication is
needed among the wireless devices.
-- Shared Key: Only Wireless device
using a shared key (WEP Key
identified) is allowed to connecting
each other. Setup the same key as the
wireless device which the card intends
to connect.
-- WPA-PSK: It is a special modem of
WPA for home users without an
enterprise authentication server and
provides the same strong encryption
protection.
23
[Data Encryption]
-- Disabled: Disable the WEP Data Encryption.
-- WEP: Enabled the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue
setting the WEP Key Length & the key Index.
-- TKIP: Enable the TKIP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue
setting the Network Key & Confirm network key.
-- Network Key: The keys are used to encryption data transmitted in the wireless network. Fill
in the text box by following rules below:
Æ 64-bit: Input 10 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f”, and “0-9” range) as the encryption
keys. For example: “0123456aef”
Æ 128-bit: Input 26 digit Hex values (in the “A-F”, “a-f”, and “0-9” range) as the
encryption keys. For example: “01234567890123456789abcdef”
-- Confirm Network Key: Re-type again the Network key in this text box.
-- Key Length: You may select the 64-bit or 128-bit to encryption transmitted data. Larger key
length will provide higher level of security, but the throughput will be lower.
-- Key Index (Advanced): The maximum of key index is 4.
3.4 Advanced

4. Glossary
IEEE 802.11 Standard
The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN Standards subcommittee, which is formulating a standard for
the industry.
Access Point
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects the wired & wireless networks together.
Ad Hoc
An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter connected as an
independent wireless LAN. Ad Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a
branch or SOHO operation.
BSSID
A specific Ad Hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be
configured with the same BSSID.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol – a method in which IP addresses are assigned by
server dynamically to clients on the network. DHCP is used for Dynamic IP Addressing and
requires a dedicated DHCP server on the network.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
This is the method the wireless cards use to transmit data over the frequency spectrum. The
other method is frequency hopping. Direct sequence spreads the data over one frequency
range (channel) while frequency hopping jumps from one narrow frequency band to another
many times per seconds.
ESSID
An Infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability for mobile workers. More
than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). Users within an ESS
could roam freely between BSS s while served as continuous connection to the network
wireless stations and Access Points within an ESS must be configured with the same ESSID
and the same radio channel.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a 10/100Mbps network that runs over dedicated home/office wiring. Users must be
wired to the network at all times to gain access.
26
Gateway
A gateway is a hardware and software device that connects two dissimilar systems, such as a
LAN and a mainframe. In Internet terminology, a gateway is another name for a router.
Generally a gateway is used as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
Infrastructure
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is
applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application
for mobile workers.
Network
A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, files, and messages can be
transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks.
ISM Band
The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed
use in the so –called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of
2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary
opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in the hands of users around
the globe.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network adapter card
connected by cable/air, that share applications, data, and peripherals. All connections are
made via cable or wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone services. It typicallu
spans a single building or campus.
PCMCIA
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association. Also a PCMCIA card is also
referred to Cardbus Adapter.
Protocol
A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to take place,
including the format, timing, sequencing and/or error checking.
27
SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID
are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. In
SNMP, agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the various
devices on the network and report to the network console workstation. Control information
about each device is maintained in a structure known as a management information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP
address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a
Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and
logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advance Research Project Agency (ARPA). It is
widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its superior design for WANs. TCP
governs how packer is sequenced for transmission the network. The term “TCP/IP” is often
used generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit/ Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services and/or fiber
optic cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world.
