System Configuration tab:
Profile Name: Users can enter profile name, or use default name defined
by system. The default is PROF# (#1, #2, #3....).
SSID: The SSID is the unique name shared among all wireless access
points in the wireless network. The name must be identical for all devices
and wireless access points attempting to connect to the same network.
Users can use pull-down menu to select from available access points.
Network Type: There are two types, Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes.
Under Ad-hoc mode users can also choose the preamble type, the
available preamble type includes Auto and Long. In addition to that, the
channel field will be available for setup in Ad-hoc mode.
• The Infrastructure is intended for the connection between wireless
network cards and an access point. With the Wireless LAN USB
Adapter, users can connect wireless LAN to a wired global network
via an access point.

• The Ad-hoc lets users set a small wireless workgroup easily and
quickly. Equipped with the Wireless LAN USB Adapter, users can
share files and printers between each PC and laptop.
Tx Power: Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio
transceiver to send the signal out. Select the Tx power percentage from
the pull-down list including Auto, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10% and
Lowest.
Preamble: This function will show up when Ad-hoc network type be
selected. A preamble is a signal used in wireless environment to
synchronize the transmitting timing including Synchronization and Start
frame delimiter. Select from the pull-down menu to change the Preamble
type into Auto or Long.
Power Save Mode:
• CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): When this mode is selected, the
power supply will be normally provided even when there is no
throughput. (Default power save mode is CAM.)
• PSM (Power Saving Mode): When this mode is selected, this device
will stay in power saving mode even when there is high volume of
throughput.
RTS Threshold: Users can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding
the bar or key in the value directly. (The default value is 2347.) RTS/CTS
Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node”
problem. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, users have to specify
the packet size. The RTS/CTS mechanism will be activated if the data size
exceeds the values that have been set.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should users
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value
are recommended.
Fragment Threshold: Users can adjust the Fragment threshold number
by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. (The default value is 2346.)
The mechanism of Fragmentation Threshold is used to improve the
efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If the
Wireless LAN USB Adapter often transmits large files in wireless
network, users can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the
packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346.
Authentication and Security tab:
Authentication Type: There are several types of authentication modes
including Open, Shared, Leap, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and
WPA2-PSK.
• Open: If the access point or wireless router is using "Open”
authentication, then the Wireless LAN USB Adapter will need to be set
to the same authentication type.
- 13 -

• Shared: Shared key is when both the sender and the recipient share a
secret key.
• LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP
authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It
encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys,
and supports mutual authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.)
• WPA/ WPA-PSK/ WPA2/ WPA2-PSK: WPA or WPA-PSK
authentications offer two encryption methods, TKIP and AES. For
WPA-PSK, select the type of algorithm TKIP or AES and then enter a
WPA Shared Key of 8-64 characters in the WPA Pre-shared Key field.
Encryption Type: For Open and Shared authentication mode, the
selection of encryption type are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the encryption type
supports both TKIP and AES.
WPA Pre-shared Key: This is the shared secret key between AP and
STA. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field
must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 64 lengths.
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key
must match with the AP’s key. There are four formats to enter the keys.
• ASCII (64 bits): 5 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).
• ASCII (128 bits): 13 ASCII characters (case sensitivity).
• Hexadecimal (64 bits): 10 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).
• Hexadecimal (128 bits): 26 Hex characters (0~9, a~f).
Show Password: Check this box to show the passwords that have been
entered.
802.1x Setting: When users use radius server to authenticate client
certificate for WPA authentication mode (WPA authentication do not
support EAP Method- MD5-Challenge).
802.1x tab:

EAP Method:
• PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport
securely authentication data by using tunnelling between PEAP
clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless
LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the
implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN.
•
TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security. Provides for
certificate-based and mutual authentication of the client and the
network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform
authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based
and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent communications
between the WLAN client and the access point.
•
•
TTLS: Tunnelled Transport Layer Security. This security method
provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and
network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS
requires only server-side certificates.
EAP-FAST: Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunnelling. It was
developed by Cisco. Instead of using
a
certificate, mutual
authentication is achieved by means of a PAC (Protected Access
Credential) which can be managed dynamically by the authentication
server. The PAC can be provisioned (distributed one time) to the
client either manually or automatically. Manual provisioning is
delivery to the client via disk or a secured network distribution
method. Automatic provisioning is an in-band, over the air,
distribution. For tunnel authentication, only support "Generic Token
Card" authentication now.
•
MD5-Challenge: Message Digest Challenge. Challenge is an EAP
authentication type that provides base-level EAP support. It provides
for only one-way authentication - there is no mutual authentication of
wireless client and the network. (Only Open and Shared
authentication mode can use this function.)
Tunnel Authentication:
•
Protocol: Tunnel protocol, List information including
EAP-MSCHAP v2, EAP-TLS/ Smart Card, and Generic Token
Card.
•
•
Tunnel Identity: Identity for tunnel.
Tunnel Password: Password for tunnel.
Session Resumption: Reconnect the signal while broken up, to reduce
the packet and improve the transmitting speed. Users can click the box to
enable or disable this function.

SSID: The SSID is the unique name shared among all wireless access
points in the wireless network. The name must be identical for all
devices and wireless access points attempting to connect to the same
network. Users can use pull-down menu to select from available access
points.
Network Type: There are two types, Infrastructure and Ad hoc modes.
• The Infrastructure is intended for the connection between wireless
network cards and an access point. With the Wireless LAN USB
Adapter, users can connect wireless LAN to a wired global network
via an access point.
• The Ad hoc lets users set a small wireless workgroup easily and
quickly. Equipped with the Wireless LAN USB Adapter, users can
share files and printers between each PC and laptop.
Tx Power: Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio
transceiver to send the signal out. Select the Tx power percentage from
the pull-down list including Auto, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 10% and

Power Save Mode:
• CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): When this mode is selected, the
power supply will be normally provided even when there is no
throughput. (Default power save mode is CAM.)
• PSM (Power Saving Mode): When this mode is selected, this device
will stay in power saving mode even when there is high volume of
throughput.
RTS Threshold: Users can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding
the bar or key in the value directly. (The default value is 2347.) RTS/CTS
Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node”
problem. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, users have to specify
the packet size. The RTS/CTS mechanism will be activated if the data size
exceeds the value that have been set. This value should remain at its
default setting of 2347. Should users encounter inconsistent data flow,
only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
Fragment Threshold: Users can adjust the Fragment threshold number
by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. (The default value is 2346.)
The mechanism of Fragmentation Threshold is used to improve the
efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If the
Wireless LAN USB Adapter often transmits large files in wireless
network, users can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the
packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346.
Authentication and Encryption tab:
Authentication Type: There are six type of authentication modes
including Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.
• Open: If the access point or wireless router is using "Open”
authentication, then the Wireless LAN USB Adapter will need to be set
to the same authentication type.
• Shared: Shared key is when both the sender and the recipient share a
secret key.
