2. Wireless LAN Application
Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) systems offer a great number of advantages over the
traditional wired system. And these systems support the same network configuration options of
the legacy Ethernet LANs as defined by IEEE 802.3 standard committee. In general, wireless
LAN products can be configured as “Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer)” or “Infrastructure (Access
Point)” for the LANs of departmental, SOHO or enterprise.
2.1 Ad-Hoc Topology
“Ad-Hoc” is the peer-to-peer mode of network operation without access point. An Ad-Hoc
wireless LAN is a group of computers, which equipped with the wireless adapters and
connected each together as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc
wireless LAN must be configured at the same radio channel and SSID for establishing the
wireless connection. Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is ideally applicable at a departmental scale for a
branch or SOHO operation.

________________
2.2 Infrastructure Topology
Infrastructure mode of network operation requires the presence of an access point at least. In
this mode, all wireless LAN client devices need to build the communication with the access
point first and then access to a wired LAN such as Ethernet. Therefore, an integrated wireless
and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. A group of wireless LAN client users
and an access point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless LAN client device in
this BSS can talk to any device in the wired LAN infrastructure via the access point. In this
infrastructure configuration, wireless LAN systems will extend the accessibility to the wired
LAN. On the other hand, infrastructure mode also supports roaming capability for mobile
wireless LAN users. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set
(ESS). The continuous network allows wireless LAN users to roam freely within an ESS. The
premise to build an ESS is that all wireless LAN client devices and access points within the
ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID.

5.3 Profile Tab
The Profile tab provides users to configure a profile of wireless connection in preference.
Totally up to 9 different profiles can be added in the system. All settings in the Profile tab are
alterable. After filling the profile name and other settings, users may click Apply or OK button
to save the profile. Figure 2 shows the screen layout of the profile tab.
Profile Name
Give a name to the profile.
SSID
Short for Service Set Identifier, a 32-character unique identifier referred to as a Network
Name of a wireless network. The default value is “ANY”. This allows your wireless client to
automatically associate to any access point within the range of the station.
Mode
Select the wireless network mode. It can be Access Point or Peer-to-Peer Mode. The
default setting is Access Point .
Transmission Rate
The transmission rate tells the speed of the transmission. It can be 1Mbps, 2Mbps, Auto 1 or
2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps , or Fully Automatic. It is Fully Automatic by default.

Channel
Select the transmission channel in Peer-to-Peer mode.
Power Saving Mode
Choice of the power saving. The power saving mode can reduce power usage by temporarily
disconnecting wireless connections when the connection is idle. The default setting is disabled.
RTS Threshold
Give the threshold of RTS. The RTS mechanism provides a solution to prevent data collisions.
But enabling RTS Threshold may cause redundant network overhead that could negatively
affect the throughput performance. When setting Enable , users mayadjust the value from 0 to
3000.
Frag. Threshold
Give the threshold of Fragmentation. The fragmentation mechanism is for improving the
efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If the device often transmits
large files in wireless network, users can enable the Fragmentation Threshold and the
mechanism will split the packet to send. When setting Enable , users may adjust the value from
256 to 2346.
Restore Defaults
Press this button to restore all settings by default into the current profile.

5.4 Encryption Tab
The Encryption tab equips an additional measure of security on your wireless network by
using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. To prevent unauthorized wireless
stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, WEP can support high secure data
encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted through the radio by using one of the Keys
entered from this panel. When an encrypted frame is received, it will only be accepted if it
decrypts correctly. This will only happen if the receiver has the same WEP Key used by the
transmitter. The Encryption tab contains some settings as below.
Encryption (WEP security)
It allows you to select Disabled, 64 bit or 128 bit. When setting 64 bit or 128 bit, it means
WEP security is in operation.
WEP Key
You can choose Create Keys Manually or Create Keys with Passphrase to enter
encryption keys. It allows four keys for 64-bit and 128-bit key according to WEP function
select. The detaile d descriptions will be shown as below for these two kinds of methods:
Create Key Manually
For 64-bits encryption:
- 5 alphanumeric characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9”. (e.g. MyKey)
________________________________________________________________________
Page: 39
WF-100 CompactFlash Wireless LAN Card User Manual
_____________________________________________________________________
________________
- 10 digit hexadecimal values in the range of “A-F” and “0-9”. (e.g. 11AA22BB33).
For 128-bits encryption:
- 13 alphanumeric characters in the range of “a-z”, “A-Z” and “0-9”. (e.g.
WEPencryption).
- 26 digit hexadecimal values in the range of “A-F” and “0-9”. (e.g.
11AA22BB33123456789ABCDEFF)
Create Keys with Passphrase
A passphrase is a string of ASCII characters, which will be automatically converted into four
different hexadecimal strings for four keys. This saves considerable time since the same keys
must be entered into each node on the wireless network.
Key1, Key2, Key3, Key4
These four columns can be used to manually enter the keys. These fields also display the keys
when they are generated by a passphrase.
Use WEP key
Indicate the key for encrypting sent packets.

double click it to make the station immediately connect to. And the system will simultaneously
change the profile to “Default” and update the content of the profile tab to match such
device’s settings. Users may also press Rescan button to scan again and update the survey
