Configuring the airNIC Wireless USB Adapter When the airNIC is plugged into the USB port of the PC, it is automatically detected by the Windows Operating System. The Wireless USB Network Adapter Configuration Utility icon will appear on your system tray. 1. The icon may initially display a red or green monitor. Red monitor indicates that airNIC is not connected to any Access Point. Green monitor indicates that airNIC is connected to one of the Access Points. Double-click on the icon. The screen shown below will appear:
The Monitor utility screen shows the current parameters of operation. The Status tab displays the following information.Operating Mode - It indicates whether the airNIC is in Infrastructure mode (connected to Access Point) or Ad-Hoc mode (peer to peer connection). Channel - This is automatically selected when the airNIC is connected/associated to an Access Point in Infrastructure mode. In Ad-Hoc mode, the Channel can be selected manually. However, you should select the same Channel that is being used by other client Adapters for peer to peer connection. SSID - SSID or Service Set Identifier displays the name of the Access Point to which the airNIC is connected in Infrastructure mode. In Ad-Hoc mode, SSID indicates the name of the airNIC and can be manually assigned by a user. All client Adapters should have the same SSID in Ad-Hoc mode. Tx Rate – This can be set to 1, 2, 5.5, 11Mbps or Auto rate. If a specific rate (1, 2, 5.5 or 11 Mbps) is selected, the airNIC will try to connect only at that rate, even if a
better transfer rate is available. It is, therefore, highly recommended that the user set this to Auto, so that the highest data rate is selected based on the link signal quality. Power Mgmt Mode – The Active mode is used for typical operating condition. Choosing the Power Save mode allows the unit to enter “sleep” mode. However, Active mode is recommended for normal operation. MAC Address – MAC Address (Media Access Controller Address) field indicates the unique MAC ID assigned to your airNIC Adapter. Status – This field indicates the current association status of airNIC. In Infrastructure mode, it shows the MAC ID of the Access Point. In Ad-Hoc mode, it shows the MAC ID of the client Adapter it is connected to in peer to peer connection. Signal Strength – This field indicates strength of the signal received from the Access Point, in the Infrastructure mode. User should position the unit such that this field displays the maximum signal strength. Link Quality – This shows the quality of wireless link. The higher is the number in this field, the better is the signal quality. When you click on the Change button, you will be able to change the various parameters. For example, you can change from Infrastructure mode to Ad-Hoc mode and vice-versa, change the transmission rate, etc. Click on Submit to apply the new settings. The Hide button will hide the Monitor utility. Double-click the green icon on your system tray to display the Monitor utility again.
2. Select the Statistics tab. This screen shows the data packets sent and received by the Adapter. When you click on the Clear button, all packet counts will be set to zero 3. The Site Survey displays a list of available Access Points and other client Adapters operating in Ad-Hoc mode. For each of these, the following features are also displayed: ● BSSID or Basic Service Set ID (also called as MAC ID) ● SSID or Service Set Identifier● Signal strength● Channel on which the device is operating● WEP indicates whether or not Encryption is enabled on the device● TYPE indicates the mode of
operation. Infrastructure indicates Access Point while Ad-Hoc indicates client Adapter.When the Re-Scan button is clicked, the Adapter will scan the wireless media for available Access Points & Adapters operating in Ad-Hoc mode. You can connect to an Access Point (or a client Adapter) on the list by double clicking on its BSSID (MAC ID). 4. Select the Encryption tab. This screen lets you enable or disable WEP encryption on your airNIC Adapter. Using the drop-box, you can choose to disable WEP or choose between 64-bit and 128-bit encryption. Once you have selected 64-bit or 128-bit encryption, you can enter 4 keys in the Key fields 1-4. However, you need to ensure that these keys match the ones set on the Access Point.WEP Key to use lets you choose the key you want to use from among the 4 keys you entered.
WEP Mode lets you make the use of keys Optional or Mandatory to connect to Access Point or other client Adapter. Authentication Type lets you select between Open System and Shared Key. Open System Authentication is the default authentication method of IEEE 802.11. It is a very simple, two-step process. First the station wanting to authenticate with another station sends an authentication management frame containing the sending station’s identity.The receiving station then sends back a frame alerting whether it recognizes the identity of the authenticating station. Shared Key Authentication is a type of authentication that assumes each station has received a secret shared key through a secure channel independent from an 802.11 network. Stations authenticate through shared knowledge of the secret key. Use of Shared Key authentication requires implementation of the 802.11 Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.Once you have finished setting up the parameters, click Submit for the setting to take effect.
5. Select the Advanced tab. In normal circumstances, you wouldn’t need to change the default parameters on this screen. The default setting for Preamble Type is Short. The default setting for Fragmentation Threshold is Disabled (set at the value 2346). The default setting for RTS/CTS Threshold is Disabled set at the value 2347). 6. Click on Version tab. This displays the version number of the Driver, Firmware & Monitor Application Utility.
Hints for Optimal Performance ● The airNIC Wireless USB Adaptor has a sensitive integrated antenna for reception & transmission of wireless data. The Adapter allows data transfer even under sub-optimal conditions by automatically adjusting the data transfer rate depending upon the prevailing conditions. However, to achieve the best performance, observe the following precautions:● Keep the airNIC away from metal structures, such as CPU cabinet, file cabinet etc.● Keep the Adapter away from electrical devices that generate RF noise, like Monitors, CPU, Television sets, Microwave, etc.● Place the airNIC as high as possible to avoid obstacles in the signal path.● Make sure that the Antenna is positioned for best reception. This can be done using the monitor utility software included with the Adaptor. The monitor utility has an embedded signal strength meter, which helps the user to orient & place the unit for best signal strength. Optimal speed results when the signal strength is greater than 50% as displayed on the monitor utility.● For best signal reception quality and therefore higher speed of operation, it is
recommended that the (optional) external Antenna be used with the unit.
