IP Address
Note: When assigning IP Addresses to the computers on the network, remember to have the IP address for each computer set on the same subnet mask. If your Broadband Router use DHCP technology, however, it won’t be necessary for you to assign Static IP Address for your computer.
1. To configure a dynamic IP address (i.e. if your broadband Router has the DHCP
technology), check the Obtain an IP Address Automatically option.
2. To configure a fixed IP address (if you broadband Router is not DHCP
supported, or when you need to assign a static IP address), check the Use the following IP address option. Then, enter an IP address into the empty field; for example, enter 192.168.1.1 in the IP address field, and 255.255.255.0 for the
Subnet Mask.

System Configuration tab:
Profile Name: User 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
points in your wireless network. The name must be
-
13 -
identical for all devices and points attempting to connect to the same network. User can use pull-down menu to select from available APs.
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.
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.
Network Type: There are two types, infrastructure and
Ad-hoc modes. Under Ad-hoc mode, user 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 adapter, you can connect wireless LAN to a wired global network via an Access Point.
The Ad-hoc lets you set a small wireless workgroup
easily and quickly. Equipped with the wireless adapter, you can share files and printers between each PC and laptop.
Tx Power: Select the Tx power percentage from the pull-down list including Auto, 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%,
10% and Lowest. Preamble: 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. RTS Threshold: User 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
-
14 -
activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
Fragment Threshold: User 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 your Wireless LAN Adapter often transmits large files in wireless network, you 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 seven type of
authentication modes including Open, Shared, Leap, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2 and WPA2-PSK.
-
15 -
Open: If your access point/wireless router is using
"Open” authentication, then the wireless 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.
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-PSK: WPA-PSK offers two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES. Select the type of algorithm, TKIP or AES and then enter a WPA Shared Key of 8-63 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 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 32 length.
WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption
algorithm. The key must match with the AP’s key. There are several formats to enter the keys.
Hexadecimal (40bits): 10 Hex characters.
Hexadecimal (128bits): 32Hex characters.
ASCII (40bits): 5 ASCII characters.
ASCII (128bits): 13 ASCII characters.
Show Password: Check this box to show the password

802.1x Setting: When user use radius server to
authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode.
802.1x tab:
EAP Method:
PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol.
PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunneling 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
-
17 -
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: Tunneled 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
Tunneling. 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.
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 Pa ssword: Password for tunnel.
Session Resumption: User can click the box to enable or
