Encryption – Click this link to show the "Encryption" tab.

Advanced – Click this link to show the "Advanced" tab. In most cases, the default values do not have to be changed.



Config - Encryption

This page enables you to configure the Wireless LAN Adapter encryption settings. For data confidentiality in a wireless environment, IEEE 802.11 specifies a Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm to offer transmission privacy. The WEP uses keys to encrypt and decrypt data packets. The encryption process can scramble frame bits to avoid disclosure to others. The

WPA/WPA2 is improved security system for 802.11 which are developed to overcome the weakness of the WEP protocol.

Network Authentication

Since there is no precise bound in wireless

LANs, the WLAN users need to implement certain mechanism to provide security solution.

The Authentication policies in this tab provide protection of different levels such as Open,

Shared, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2 and WPA2-

PSK.

Open - Select this option to make the network operate on Open System mode, which use no authentication algorithm. Open stations and APs can authenticate with each other without checking any WEP Key, even if there is.

Shared - Select this option to make the network operate on Shared key mode.

In a Share Key Authentication system, four-step exchange of frames is required to validate that the station is using the same WEP Key as the access point.

WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK - Select this option to enable WPA Pre-Shared Key under Infrastructure mode. It enables communication between your client and

APs using WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK encryption mode.

WPA / WPA2 - The network is operating in IEEE 802.1x authentication mode.

This mode is for environments with RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-in User

Service). In a RADIUS environment, five Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP) are supported, including PEAP, TLS/Smart Card, TTLS, LEAP and

Md5-Challenge.



Data encryption

For Open and Shared authentication mode, the configuration options of encryption type are Disabled and WEP. For WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and

WPA2-PSK authentication mode, Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption are supported.

Disabled - Disable the encryption function.

WEP - WEP Key is used to encrypt your data before it is transmitted over air.

You can only connect and communicate with wireless devices that use the same WEP keys.

TKIP - TKIP uses an encryption algorithm method that is more stringent than the WEP algorithm. It also uses existing WLAN calculation facilities to perform encryption. TKIP verifies the security configuration after the encryption keys are determined.

AES: AES is a symmetric 128-bit block encryption technique that works simultaneously on multiple network layers.

Wireless Network Key

This option is enabled only if you select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK authentication mode. Select “TKIP” or “AES” in the encryption filed as encryption mode to begin the encryption proceed. Note: 8 to 64 characters are required in this field.

Wireless Network Key (WEP)

This option is configurable only if you enable WEP in Network Authentication field. The WEP Key is a 64 bits (5 byte) or 128 bits (13 byte) Hexadecimal digits which is used to encrypt and decrypt data packets.

Key Format

You can select to enter Hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) or ASCII characters to setup keys by defining the Key Format.

Key Length

For 64 bits encryption, each key contains 10 hex digits or 5 ASCII characters.

For 128 bits encryption, each key contains 26 hex digits or 13 ASCII characters.

Manual assign WEP keys - When you select this option, the cursor appears in the field for Key 1. For 64-bit encryption, you are required to enter four WEP

Keys. Each Key contains exactly 10 hex digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F). For 128-bit encryption, you are required to enter four WEP Keys. Each Key contains exactly 26 hex digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F).



Select one as your Default Key

The Default Key field allows you specify which of the four encryption keys is to use for transmitting data over wireless LAN. You can change the default key by clicking on the downward arrow, selecting the number of the key you want to use, and clicking the “Apply” button. If the access point or station with which you are communicating uses the identical key by the same sequence, you can use any of the keys as the default on your WLAN Adapter.

Click the “Apply” button after you have created the encryption keys, the

Wireless Settings Utility uses asterisks to mask your keys.

4/128bits versus 40/104bits

There are two levels of WEP Encryption: 64 bits and 128 bits.

Firstly, 64 bit WEP and 40 bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate in the wireless network. This lower level of WEP encryption uses a

40 bit (10 Hex character) as a “secret key” (set by user), and a 24 bit

“Initialization Vector” (not under user control). This together makes 64 bits (40 +

24). Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 40 bits and others refer to this as 64 bits. Our Wireless LAN products use the term 64 bits when referring to this lower level of encryption.

Secondly, 104 bit WEP and 128 bit WEP are the same encryption method and can interoperate in the wireless network. This higher level of WEP encryption uses a 104 bit (26 Hex character) as a “secret key” (set by user), and a 24 bit

“Initialization Vector” (not under user control). This together makes 128 bits

(104 + 24). Some vendors refer to this level of WEP as 104 bits and others refer to this as 128 bits. Our Wireless LAN products use the term 128 bits when referring to this higher level of encryption.



Config - Authentication

This tab allows you to set the security settings to match those of your AP. It is configurable only if you have set Network Authentication to WPA or WPA2 in

Config-Encryption tab.

Authentication Type

The authentication type methods include:

PEAP: PEAP (Protected Extensible

Authentication Protocol) authentication is a version of Extensible Authentication Protocol

(EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication between a wireless client and a server that resides at the network operations center.

TLS/Smart Card: TLS (Transport Layer

Security) authentication is used to create an encrypted tunnel and achieve server-side authentication in a manner similar to Web server authentication using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol. This method uses digital certificates to verify the identity of a client and server.

TTLS: TTLS authentication uses certificates to authenticate the server, while maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication and a shared confidentiality for session WEP key.

LEAP: LEAP (Light Extensible Authentication Protocol) authentication is a version of Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP ensures mutual authentication between a wireless client and a server that resides at the network operations center.

Md5-challenge: Md5-challenge is a one-way encryption algorithm that uses usernames and passwords. This method does not support key management, but require a preset key.

Config - Advanced

Click Advanced link on Config-Basic page to show this tab. This tab allows you to set up additional parameters for the wireless Adapter.

We recommend using the default values for all items in this window.

RTS Threshold (0-2347)

The RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) function is used to minimize collisions among wireless stations. When RTS/CTS is enabled, the router refrains from sending a data frame until another RTS/CTS handshake is completed. Enable RTS/CTS by setting a specific packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.

Fragmentation Threshold (25-234)

Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments) that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting a specific packet size threshold. If there is an excessive number of collisions on the WLAN, experiment with different fragmentation values to increase the reliability of frame transmissions. The default value (2346) is recommended for normal use.

Multimedia / Gaming Environment

Multimedia / Gaming Environment can ignore the scanning command coming from Windows every 60 seconds. Enable this setting, the scanning command will not disturb the normal operation of packets transferring for better game play performance.

Frame Bursting

Frame Bursting technology improves wireless network efficiency and boosts throughput.

PSP Xlink Mode

Soft AP (Windows XP/Vista)

Soft AP mode allows the Wireless LAN card to act as a virtual access point.

The computer needs to be connected to a wired network using an Ethernet connection in order to provide network access to Wireless LAN clients.

1. Select Soft AP Mode 2. Drag and drop a wired network connection next to the globe icon.

3. Enable ICS* and Firewall if desired. Refer to Windows help for information on “

Internet Connection Sharing”.

4. You can easily switch between Soft AP and Station mode by right clicking the taskbar icon and selecting “A-S Change

Mode”.

*ICS is used to share this computer’s Internet connection with the rest of the computers on your network. When this computer is connected to the Internet, communication to and from the Internet to all the computers on your network are sent through this computer, called the host computer.

Other computers can send and receive email and access the Web as if it were connected directly to the Internet.



Soft AP (Windows XP/Vista)

Soft AP mode allows you to configure Access Control settings.

Access Control

The AP provides facilities to limit the wireless clients that associate with it and the data packets that can forward through it. Filters provide network security or improve performance by eliminating broadcast/multicast packets from the radio network.

The Access Control List (ACL) contains MAC addresses for wireless clients allowed to associate with the AP. This provides security by preventing unauthorized access. The AP also uses a disallowed address list of destinations. This feature prevents the AP from communicating with specified destinations. This can include network devices that do not require communication with the AP or its wireless clients.

Status Page Encryption Page

38

Clicking Apply after configuring Soft AP will show the “Access Control” tab.

Enter a MAC Address on the Access Control page and select “Accept” or “Reject” or “Disable” from the pull-down menu.



Soft AP Mode will also provide two extra tabs on the Status pages - Association Table and

Event Log. The Association Table shows clients that are currently connected to the Soft

AP.

The Event Log tracks messages associated with the Soft AP.

IMPORTANT: If the end points of a chain are connected to each other a loop is created. Normally it is advised to avoid loops involving bridges as it can lead to performance breakdowns, and broadcast and multicast storms.

Survey - Site Survey

Use the Site Survey tab to view statistics on the wireless networks available to the WLAN adapter and their parameters.

• SSID: The SSID of the available networks.

• Channel: The channel used by each network.



• RSSI: The Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) transmitted by each network. This information is helpful in determining which network to connect to. The value is then normalized to a dBm value.

• Security: Wireless network encryption information. All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the communication.

• BSSID: The media access control (MAC) address of the access point or the Basic Service Set ID of the Ad Hoc node.

NOTE: Some access points may disable SSID broadcast and hide themselves from “Site Survey” or “Site Monitor”, however, you can connect such AP if you know their SSID.

Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

The following troubleshooting guides provide answers to some of the more common problems, which you may encounter while installing or using WLAN

Adapter products. If you encounter difficulties that are not mentioned in this section, please contact the Wireless LAN Technical Support.

Verify if the WLAN Adapter is installed correctly.

When the WLAN Adapter setup is complete, you can verify if the driver has been setup properly. Right click My Computer , select Properties , and click the Device Manager tab. Then double-click the Network adapters icon; you should see “ 802.11g Network Adapter ” with an icon of an expansion adapter.

There should not be a “!” or “?” (problem) or “x” (disabled) symbol over this icon.

There is a yellow exclamation mark or a yellow question mark in

Device Manager in front of my WLAN Adapter.

To resolve the problem, you should update/reinstall the WLAN Adapter driver.

In “Device Manager”, right click 802.11g Network Adapter , select Properties , and select Driver tab. Click on Update Driver button, then follow the “Update

Device Driver Wizard” to complete the driver installation.

Cannot connect to any access points

Follow the procedure below to configure your WLAN Adapter.

a. Verify that the “Network Type” is in “Infrastructure” mode.

b. Verify that the “SSID” of your WLAN Adapter is set to the same “SSID” of an access point.

c. Verify that the “Encryption” type is the same as that of an access point.

If you enabled “WEP” encryption, you must also set the same WEP

Keys on both sides.


Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting

Cannot connect to a Station (WLAN Adapter)

Follow the procedure below to configure your WLAN Adapter.

a. Verify that the “Network Type” is in “Ad Hoc” mode.

b. Verify that the “SSID” of your WLAN Adapter is set to the same “SSID” of the other station (or another WLAN Adapter).

c. Verify that the “channel” of the WLAN Adapter is “Auto” or set to the same “channel” of the other station (or another WLAN Adapter).

d. Verify that the “Encryption” type is the same as the other station (or another

WLAN Adapter). If “WEP” encryption is enabled, you must set the same

“WEP” Keys on both stations.

Bad link quality or bad signal strength

There are two possible reasons. First is radio interference, keep the environment around the WLAN Adapter away from microwave ovens and large metal objects. Then try to reorient the WLAN Adapter antenna. Second is the distance, decrease the distance between your WLAN Adapter and the access point or station (or another WLAN Adapter).

The TCP/IP protocol did not bind to the WLAN PC Adapter.

This will occur when the computer already has six TCP/IP bindings in Windows

98 or ten bindings in Windows Me. These limits are imposed by the Microsoft operating system.

Solution: If your computer already has the maximum number of TCP/IP bindings, remove one of the network adapters from the Network configuration before installing the WLAN Adapter driver.
