Copyright © 2003 Universal Scientific Industrial Co. ,Ltd.Valid value is a case-sensitive string of ASCII printable characters with a maximum of 32 characters.The value ANY will allow your computer to connect to the first open Base Station network that it canfind.In environments with third-party wireless products, this parameter is also referred to as ESSID. Security SettingsUse this screen to:• Enable or disable wireless data Network Name. • Enter the encryption key that applies in your network. You can enter key values in either Alphanumeric Value or Hexadecimal Value. The encryption keyvalue is case-sensitive.Consult your LAN Administrator for the correct value.Card Power ManagementUse this screen to:• Enable Power Management for low power consumption and wireless performance. • Disable Power Management for default power consumption and high wireless performance(default). Power Management is only supported in Base Station networks.TCP/IP BehaviorUse this screen to control the TCP/IP protocol behavior when switching from one wireless profile toanother.Enable this option when your profiles connect to networks with a different TCP/IP Subnet. Forexample your home network and a corporate network.As most DHCP servers assign an IP Address lease for 24 hours, your network connection might notwork due to an IP Address mismatch when moving between two different network spaces. Enablingthis option will ensure your IP Address will be renewed every time you select this profile.

The absence of activity on the Wireless Network Interface might be related to the fact that:• You moved out of Wireless Range of the Base Station(s) that could provide access to theselected network. • There are no Wireless Client Stations in the Wireless Range of your computer to participate inthe selected Peer-to-Peer Group. • The Base Station(s) that could provide access to the selected network has (have) a problem(e.g. power is off).Power LED on, Link LED flickeringThis LED status indicates normal operation:• The Wireless Client Adapter is powered on • The Link LED indicates activity on the wireless network. If the radio of your PCBAG PC Card seems to communicate with other radio devices, but does notsucceed in actually connecting to the network (i.e. the power and radio LED shows normal activity),you may need to verify whether your operating system installed the correct Network ProtocolSettings.Both LEDs blink once every 10 secondsThis LED indicates that the PCBAG PC Card is powered on and working properly, but it is not able toestablish a wireless connection to the wireless network. Possible causes might be:• Your wireless station is outside the Wireless Range of the Base Station(s) that could provide

Contact your LAN Administrator for information about the correct values of the parameter settingsthat apply in your network.No LED ActivityIf there is absolutely no LED activity on the Power LED and Link LED of the PCBAG PC Card, thismay be due to one of the following reasons:• The PCBAG PC Card device is not properly connected to your computer. • No driver was installed to allow communication between your computer and the wirelessnetwork interface. • You are using a wireless network interface in combination with an PCBAG WLAN PC CardTools, but you did not yet "introduce" the Device to your computer using the "Add NewHardware" option on the Control Panel. Power LED is FlickeringA flickering Power LED identifies that you enabled the Card Power Management option for theWireless Client Adapter of a Wireless Client Station (Advanced Settings). Network Protocol SettingsSubject to the type and version of your Windows operating system, the correct protocol may or maynot be installed automatically when installing the wireless network interface. Network protocols arefor example:• TCP/IP

(Optional) Click the: o Add button to add a missing protocol. o Properties button to view/modify the protocol settings. Another Device does no longer workIn case another device does no longer work after you installed the PCBAG PC Card , you may haverun into a Hardware Conflict. You can verify whether this is caused by the wireless network interface,simply by removing the interface and rebooting the computer:• When the problem persists, the problem is not caused by the wireless network interface. • When the other device functions properly again after removing the wireless network interface,one of the following two causes may apply: o The resources were already claimed upon booting the device, by a resource setting in
