Chapter 3 Basic Settings 13 Copy the Utility.exe from the attached product CD into your PC, and double-click to run this utility, as shown below: Figure 6 Default Interface of Utility Web-based Management Interface Alternatively, after accessing the wireless network, you can input the IP address (By default it is set to 192.168.1.1) of VUS-100 in the IE address field to login VUS-100 Web-based management interface or use UPnP to login VUS-100 and make configuration. As the information and configuration options in Web-based management interface are identical to the ones in Utility, we mainly take Utility as an example in this manual. Basic Settings From the Utility, click to open System → General in the left menu bar to modify basic parameters for your VUS-100.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 14 Figure 7 Basic Settings Device Name You can specify the name of VUS-100 at will. Note that it is 15 characters at most and case-sensitive. UPnP By enabling UPnP, VUS-100 is able to search for available network devices automatically, so as to establish connection with other network devices much faster. IP Settings You can specify and manage the IP address of VUS-100 in this page.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 15 Figure 8 IP Address Assignment Obtain IP Address Automatically By checking this option, VUS-100 will request for an IP address from the network if being connected to the wireless network, then the DHCP server will select an idle IP from its IP pool and allocate it to VUS-100 after receiving this request. Use Fixed IP Address You have to manually specify the IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP, primary DNS and secondary DNS if check this option. Note: When browsing the shared folders in LAN with VUS-100, the IP address of VUS-100 and the PC in LAN should be in the same network segment. When browsing Flickr network album with VUS-100, set an IP address for yourVUS-100 to access the Internet.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 16 Wireless Basic Settings From the Utility, click Wireless → Basic Settings in the left menu bar to make basic wireless configuration for your VUS-100. Figure 9 Wireless Basic Settings SSID For AP and STA to identify a wireless network, SSID is composed of 32 ASCII characters at most and is case-sensitive. Keep the SSID on VUS-100 and AP identical for connection. By default, it is set to any which means VUS-100 will search and establish connection with the available AP of strongest signal strength. Output Power Specify the transmission power for VUS-100. The higher the output power is, the wider the wireless signal covers, whereas the power consumption grows accordingly. Usually, it is set to Full.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 17 Wireless Security Settings Figure 10 Wireless Security Settings Auth-Type (Authentication Type) - Open System: Allows connection with any AP. - Shared Key: Encryption and key are required. - WPA-PSK: As a simplified WPA mode, there is no need for special authentication server.

Appendix B. Technical Terms 44 Appendix B. Technical Terms Table 4 Technical Terms Terms Description IEEE 802.11n An extension to 802.11 specification developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN (WLAN) technology. 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). The additional transmitter and receiver antennas allow for increased data throughput through spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity through coding schemes. The speed is 100 Mbit/s, and so up to 4-5 times faster than 802.11g. 802.11n also offers a better operating distance than current networks. Access Point A base station in a wireless LAN, which is typically a wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi) LAN. It is typically a stand-alone device that plugs into an Ethernet switch or hub. If more than one access point is used, like a cellular phone system, users can roam with their mobile devices and be handed off from one cell to another. WEP Wired Equivalent Protection, is a kind of data encryption. WEP 40bits/128bits is the standard of IEEE 802.11. this encryption method enhances the security of wireless network. DHCP, DHCP Client, DHCP Server DHCP, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. An Ethernet protocol specifying how a centralized DHCP server can assign network configuration information to multiple DHCP clients. The assigned information includes IP addresses, DNS addresses, and gateway (router) addresses. Encryption To secure the communication between the wireless device and other devices, encryption is implemented to protect secret against attack. IP Address and Network Mask IP Address is a four-byte number uniquely defining each host on the Internet, usually written in dotted-decimal notation with periods separating the bytes (for example, 134.177.244.57). Ranges of addresses are assigned by Internet, an organization formed for this purpose. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router. MAC The Media Access Control address is a unique 48-bit hardware address assigned to every network interface card. Router A device that forwards data between networks. An IP router forwards data based on IP source and destination addresses.
Appendix C. ASCII 45 Appendix C. ASCII WEP can be configured with a 64-bit or 128-bit Shared Key (hexadecimal number or ACSII). As defined, hexadecimal number is represented by 0-9, A-F or a-f; ACSII is represented by 0-9, A-F, a-f and punctuation. Each consists of two-digit hexadecimal.
