4-1-1 Add/Edit Profile
System Configuration: as figure bellow
- 14 -
1. Profile Name: Different AP can be set up into different Profile Name
2. SSID: The drop-down menu can select which AP is detected by system
3. Power Save Mode: can select〔CAM（Constantly Awake Mode）〕 or 〔Power Saving Mode〕
mode. Selecting the” CAM when AC Power” means the power saving mode can automatically
switch into CAM, if the computer uses the AC power, not using the batteries instead. Selecting
the “Power Save Mode” can only work under the infrastructure mode.
4. Network Type: Can select “Infrastructure” or “802.11 Ad Hoc” mode. When set up to
“Infrastructure” mode, the “Power Saving” mode will be enabled, but the “11b Preamble Type”
will not; When set up to “802.11 Ad Hoc” mode, the “Power Saving Mode” will not be enabled,
but “11b Preamble” will, and the channel selection in the session 7 will show up as well.
5. TX Power: Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio transceiver to send the signal
out. User can choose power value by sliding the bar.
6. Preamble: There are three types, Auto, Long and Short are supported.
7. Ad hoc wireless mode: There are five types. 802.11B only, 802.11 B/G mixed 802.11A only,
802.11 A/B/G mixed and 802.11G only modes are supported.

8. RTS Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value
directly. The default value is 2312.
9. Fragment Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the
value directly. The default value is 2312.
Note: Channel: Only available for setting under ad-hoc mode. User can choose the channel
frequency to start their ad-hoc network.
Profile function is based on the needs to set up the most linkable AP in order to record the system
configuration and to set up the authentication security. The function of each session is shown below

4-2 Authentication & Security
As shown in picture. When the Encryption feature is enabled, the other setups are same as the said
WEP setting.
1. Authentication Type: There are three type of authentication modes supported by RaConfig.
They are open, Shared, WPA-PSK and WPA system.
2. 802.1x Setting: It will display to set when user use radius server to authenticate client certificate
for WPA authentication mode. The detail operation will explain in section 5-6 Configure
connection with WPA by 802.1x setting
3. Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are
None and WEP. For WP A, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the
encryption type supports both TKIP and AES.
4. 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 lengths.
5. WEP Key: Only valid when using WEP encryption algorithm. The key must matched AP key.
There are several formats to enter the keys.
i. Hexadecimal、40bits：10 Hex characters.
- 17 -
ii. Hexadecimal、128bits：32Hex characters.
iii. ASCII、40bits：5 ASCII characters.
iv. ASCII、128bits：13 ASCII characters.
4-2-1 802.1x Setting
802.1x is a authentication for 『WPA』and 『WPA2』certificate to server. Show as figure
1. Authentication type:
i. 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.
ii. TLSSmart 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.
