2. Wireless LAN Basics
Wireless LAN (Local Area Networks) systems offer a great number of advantages over a traditional,
wired system. Wireless LANs (WLANs) are more flexible, easier to setup and manage and often more
cost effective than their wired equivalence.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the
need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through
simplified configuration, enable movable LANs.
With wireless LANs, users can access shared information without looking for a place to plug in and
network managers can set up or augment networks without installing or moving wires. Wireless LANs
offer the following productivity, convenience and cost advantages over traditional wired networks:
• Mobility - Wireless LAN systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time information
anywhere in their organization. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not
possible with wired networks.
• Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system can be fast and easy and can
eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings.
• Installation Flexibility - Wireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go.
• Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required for wireless LAN hardware
might be higher than the cost of wired LAN hardware, overall installation expenses and life-cycle
costs will be significantly lower. Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments
requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes.
• Scalability - Wireless LAN systems can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet the needs
of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peerto-peer to full infrastructure networks, also allow roaming over a broad area.

4.1 Link Information
Connected To Network
This field is used to display the current status of connection. The state shows “Connected to
Network“ means normal flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access
point. Networking is available.
A state of “Scanning” means that the node is searching for available Access Point within effective
range. This field will also display an error message for some reason if the driver fails to initial.
♦
Network Type
Infrastructure Mode - The driver will scan all available channels continuously until it finds
one or more Access Points that match its SSID. At that point it will try and authenticate and
associate with the Access Point.
Peer to Peer Mode - The driver will scan for 5 seconds looking for an existing Ad Hoc network
using the same SSID.
♦
Channel
The current channel that be used for this WLAN adapter will be shown in this field.

Peer to Peer - This is 802.11 peer-to-peer mode. In 802.11 Ad Hoc, only one wireless
“cell” is supported for each different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client
without the use of an Access Point. 802.11 Ad Hoc networking uses the same SSID for
establishing the wireless connection.
Access Point - This mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point.
All communication is done via the Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless
Clients in the BSS as well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet.
♦
Transmit Rate - The transmission rate at which client of AP transmits the data packets. You
may set this to fixed 1Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed 5.5 Mbps or higher or Automatic for 802.11
AP.
♦
Authentication Mode - You may desire an additional measure of security on your WLAN
which can be achieved by using WEP or WPA encryption.
User’s Guide

This panel allows to entry for 64/128-bit encryption according to WEP function select. To be
written to the driver and registry, such as Hexadecimal format, each key must consist of hex
digits, which means that only digit 0-9 and letters A-F are valid entries. If entered format is
incorrect, the utility will not accept it.
WPA pre-shared key is one advanced security for wireless network. There are 2 types
algorithm could be supported – one is TKIP, and the other is AES.
To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Shared Key field between 8 and
63 characters long.
