Network Type
Infrast r u cture
– I nfrastructure
means to establish a connection with
an access point. Once connected,
the ac c e s s poi n t a l l o ws you t o
access wireless LAN and wired LAN
(Ethernet). The Channel field turns to
Auto
if the connection is based on
Infrastructure.
Ad Hoc
– Ad Hoc means to communicate directly with other wireless clients
without using an access point. An “Ad Hoc” network can be setup quickly
and easily without pre-planning, for example, sharing meeting notes between
attendants in a meeting room.
Network Name (SSID)
SSID stands for “Service Set Identifier”, which is a string used to identify a
wireless LAN. Use the SSID to connect with a known access point. You can
enter a new SSID or select one from the drop-down list box. If you get connected
by designating the SSID, you are only to connect the AP with the SSID you
assigned. If the AP is removed from the network, your WLAN Card does not
roam automatically to other APs. SSIDs must all be printable characters and
having a maximum of 32 case sensitive characters, such as “ Wireless”.
NOTE: Set the SSID to a null string, if you wish to allow your station to
connect to any access point it can nd. But you cannot use null string in
Ad Hoc mode.
Channel
The Channel eld is for setting radio channel. Your WLAN Card can automatically
select the correct channel to communicate with an wireless device, and the
parameter is xed to "Auto" in both Infrastructure and Ad Hoc mode.
The available radio channels depend on the regulations in your country. For
the United States (FCC) and Canada (IC), channel 1 to 11 are supported. For
Europe (ETSI), channel 1 to 13 are supported. For Japan (MKK), channel 1 to
14 are supported.

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
specic packet size threshold. The default value (2347) is recommended.
Fragmentation Threshold (256-2346)
Fragmentation is used to divide 802.11 frames into smaller pieces (fragments)
that are sent separately to the destination. Enable fragmentation by setting
a specic 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 (2000) is recommended for
normal use.

Network Authentication
Since there is no precise bound in
wireless LANs, the WLAN users need
to implement certain mechanism
to provide security soluction. The
Authentication policies in this tab
provide protection of different levels
such as Open, WEP, WPA, and WPA2.
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, various Extensible Authentication Protocol
(EAP) are supported, including PEAP, TLS/Smart Card, TTLS, and LEAP.
Cong - Encryption
This page enables you to congure the Wireless LAN Card 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.
ASUS WLAN Card 15
English
Quick Start Guide
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 methods which is more stringent than
the WEP algorithm. It also uses existing WLAN calculation facilities to perform
encryption. TKIP veries the security conguration after the encryption keys are
determined.
AES:
AES is a symmetric 128-bit block encryption technique which 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 led as encryption mode to
begin the encryption proceed. Note: 8 to 64 characters are required in this eld.
Wireless Network Key (WEP)
This option is congurable only if you enable WEP in Network Authentication
eld. 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 dening 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.
Two ways to assign WEP keys
1. Manual Assignment
- When you select this option, the cursor appears
in the eld 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).
16 ASUS WLAN Card
English
Quick Start Guide
2. Automatic Generation
- Type a combination of up to 64 letters,
numbers, or symbols in the Passphrase box, the Wireless Settings Utility
automatically uses an algorithm to generate four WEP Keys.
Select one as your Default Key
The Default Key eld 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 Card.
Click the “Apply” button after you have created the encryption keys, the
Wireless Settings Utility uses asterisks to mask your keys.
64/128bits 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.

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
certicates to verify the identity of a client and server.
TTLS:
TTLS authentication uses certicates to authenticate the server, while
maintaining similar security properties to TLS such as mutual authentication
and a shared condentiality 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 encrypting algorithm that uses
user name and passwords. This method does not support key management,
but require a preset key.
