CONFIGURATION

The Configuration screen allows you to customize the setting for the
PC Card and your wireless network.

The Network Type setting determines the architecture of your
wireless network. Select Peer-to-Peer or Access Point mode
depending on your network type. The Peer-to-Peer mode is used for
a simple Ad-hoc network and allows the sharing of local resources
only between PC Cards without needing a wireless Access Point. The
Access Point mode allows a wireless network to be integrated into an
existed, wired network through an Access Point. Infrastructure
networks permit roaming between Access Points while maintaining a
connection to all network resources and provide additional features,
such as WEP security, power saving and extended range.

The Network Name is the unique name shared among all points in a
wireless network. The Network Name must be identical for all points
in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.

Wireless PCMCIA card

The Tr a ns m it Ra t e field shows the current transfer rate for the PC
Card. To optimize performance and range, the Transmit Rate should
be set to Fully automatic, which will automatically adjust the
transfer speed for best performance and longest range.

Power Saving Enabled, enables or disables the power saving
features of your PC Card. This setting can only be enabled or
disabled in Infrastructure mode.

The Peer-to-Peer Channel setting specifies the channel used in
wireless communication in AdHoc mode and should be set to the
same channel as the other points in the wireless network.

ENCRYPTION

The 64/128-bit WEP keys can be generated from a user-defined
passphrase.

The Passphrase can be any text string with a maximum of 127

characters.

WEP must be enabled from the Configuration screen in order to set
the 64/128-bit key. To generate an encryption key:

1. Type exactly the same case sensitive PassPhrase in the

PassPhrase field.

2. Alphanumeric will transfer the 5 characters to ASCII code.

3. Click the Apply button to create the encryption key. Te

Passphrase generates four unique keys.

4. Make sure that the Default Key is the same for each point on the

network.
