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.
Understanding Wireless Networking
Getting familiar with the airNIC Wireless USB Adapter
airNIC conforms to the IEEE standard 802.11b and operates in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It
has data rate of up to 11Mbps, which makes it one of the fastest Wireless Adapters on the
market today. airNIC can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (providing Peer-to-Peer network
connection without Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (providing network connection
using Access Point). It can communicate with any Wi-Fi compliant Wireless Access Point,
Wireless Client Adapter and Residential Gateway.
airNIC is capable of 64-bit and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption to
provide secure network connection. It allows secure sharing of data, DVD/CD-ROM drives,
Zip drives, printers and high-speed Internet access over the Wireless Network. The
powerful built-in antenna ensures strong and consistent signals over a long range and
seamless transition from one Access Point to another while roaming around.
The Wireless USB adapter is equipped with a USB port, an optional external Antenna and
3 LEDs.
airNIC has a high-powered built-in Antenna
which is sufficient for transmission over long
ranges. However, if needed, an external
Antenna can be used to further augment the
range.
There is a USB port at the back of airNIC.
One end of the USB cable is plugged into
this port and the other end is plugged into a
USB-ready PC.
airNIC has 3 LED indicators that indicate the
status of Power, Link & Data Transmission.
Power indicates that the Adapter has been
powered up.
Link indicates that airNIC is properly
installed and ready for use.
Transmission indicates the flow of data
over wireless media.
Getting familiar with Wireless LANs
If you have experience working with wired LAN, you won’t find Wireless LAN (WLAN)
much different from it, except that WLAN offers unmatched flexibility, mobility, scalability
and convenience. WLAN can be easily used to extend your existing wired LAN or to
quickly set up a new LAN environment. Computers in a wireless LAN need to be
configured to share the same radio channel.
There are two modes of Wireless Network operation:
Ad-hoc mode
In this mode of
operation, peer-to-peer
(or point-to-point)
connectivity is
established between two
PCs for Internet sharing,
file sharing applications
etc. Each PC is equipped
with the Wireless
Adapter and they can
talk to each other without
an Access Point
Infrastructure mode
In this mode of
operation, multiple
wireless network
Adapters can connect to
an Access Point to form
a complete Wireless
network similar to a
Wired LAN. Also, in this
mode, the Access Point
can act as a bridge
between the Wireless
and Wired LAN.

General
Q: What is WEP ?
A: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption scheme used to protect
wireless data communication. It is part of the system security behind the wireless
IEEE 802.11 protocol, and its goals are to provide confidentiality and data integrity,
and to protect access to the network infrastructure by rejecting all non-WEP
packets.
Q: What is an Access Point ?
A: It is a hardware device that converts a wired LAN port/outlet to a wireless port
typically for Infrastructure mode.
Q: What is AdHoc mode ?
A: Peer-to-Peer networking mode usually used for sharing local resources between
wireless Networked PCs.
Q: What is Infrastructure mode ?
A: Infrastructure Mode allows a wireless network to be integrated into an existing,
wired network through an Access Point, permitting roaming between Access Points
while maintaining a connection to all network resources.
Q: What is IEEE 802.11 standard ?
A: It is a standard set by Institution of Electrical Electronics & Engineers for
standardizing the wireless networking hardware so that they are interoperable.
Q: What is ISM band ?
A: The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for
unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. The ISM band
comprises of frequencies in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz.
Q: What is Direct-Sequencing Spread Spectrum (DSSS) ?
A: Wireless LAN products are available in three different technologies – Direct
Sequencing Spread Spectrum (DSSS), Frequency Hopping Spread-Spectrum
(FHSS) and Infrared. DSSS and FHSS are spread-spectrum techniques that
operate over the radio airwaves in the unlicensed ISM band (Industrial, Scientific,
and Medical). DSSS uses radio transmitter to spread data packets over a fixed
range of frequency band.
Q: How does the Wireless LAN connect the PCs ?
A: The Wireless LAN uses Radio Frequency (RF) to transmit data. In this respect, it
is similar to radio stations and cordless phones. Devices "tune in" to different
signals on specific frequency bands and ignore others, allowing the devices to co-
exist and PCs to communicate securely over the Wireless LAN.
Q: Will Wireless LAN interfere with other RF devices like cordless phones?
A: Use of DSSS and FHSS techniques eliminate the interference between different
RF devices.
Common Problems and Solutions
Q: I can’t connect to the Access Point.
Make sure that the notebook or desktop is powered on and the Wireless USB
Network Adapter is properly connected.
Make sure that your Network Adapter is configured on the same channel, SSID,
and WEP as the other computers in the Infrastructure configuration.
Q: LEDs are flickering.
Red should be continuously on. If it flickers, make sure that USB cable is
securely plugged into the USB port.
Green should be continuously on. If it flickers, the device may not have booted
properly or there may be a strong interfering signal. Disconnect and connect the
device again.
Yellow should flicker, indicating that the radio is alternating between transmit &
receive modes.
Q: LEDs do not light up at all.
A: Make sure that the USB cable is properly connected and the PC is powered on.
Q: Windows seems to hang when reconnecting airNIC.
A: Windows takes some time to enumerate USB devices when it is connected to the
computer. Wait about 20 seconds between disconnecting and connecting devices
to give Windows time to update the internal registry settings.
Q: All the USB ports on my PC are already connected to other USB devices.
A: Use a self-powered USB hub. It is possible to connect up to 128 USB peripherals
to a PC by using the USB hub.
Q: airNIC does not work when connected through a USB hub.
A: Please ensure that the USB Hub has power connection. airNIC is a USB
powered device. It consumes more than 360mA when in operating mode.
Therefore, it cannot be used downstream of an un-powered hub. airNIC may
enumerate correctly, but the Operating System will prevent it from becoming fully
functional.
