"IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL USERS OR DISTRIBUTORS:

Intel wireless LAN adapters are engineered, manufactured, tested, and quality checked to ensure that they meet all necessary local and governmental regulatory agency requirements for the regions that they are designated and/or marked to ship into. Because wireless LANs are generally unlicensed devices that share spectrum with radars, satellites, and other licensed and unlicensed devices, it is sometimes necessary to dynamically detect, avoid, and limit usage to avoid interference with these devices. In many instances Intel is required to provide test data to prove regional and local compliance to regional and governmental regulations before certification or approval to use the product is granted. Intel's wireless LAN's EEPROM, firmware, and software driver are designed to carefully control parameters

that affect radio operation and to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC). These parameters include, without limitation, RF power, spectrum usage, channel scanning, and human exposure.

For these reasons Intel cannot permit any manipulation by third parties of the software provided in binary format with the wireless LAN adapters (e.g., the EEPROM and firmware). Furthermore, if you use any patches, utilities, or code with the Intel wireless LAN adapters that have been manipulated by an unauthorized party (i.e., patches, utilities, or code (including open source code modifications) which have not been validated by Intel), (i) you will be solely responsible for ensuring the regulatory compliance of the products, (ii) Intel will bear no liability, under any theory of liability for any issues associated with the modified products, including without limitation, claims under the warranty and/or issues arising from regulatory non-compliance, and (iii) Intel will not provide or be required to assist in providing support to any third parties for such modified products.

Note: Many regulatory agencies consider Wireless LAN adapters to be "modules", and accordingly, condition system-level regulatory approval upon receipt and review of test data documenting that the antennas and system configuration do not cause the EMC and radio operation to be non-compliant."

Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup* to Configure or Join a Network

●Configure an access point and set up a network

●Connect an enrollee (computer) to a network or access point

●Add an enrollee to a network at the registrar

Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi implements Wi-Fi Protected Setup* to permit easy and secure set up and management of a wireless network. You can use this capability to initially set up a wireless network and to introduce new devices to the network. Wi-Fi Protected Setup simplifies the set up process and at same time helps ensure that the network is configured securely. The following terms are used in this discussion.

●Access Point: A device that connects wireless devices to a network. The access point is configured with the necessary network name (SSID) and security credentials.

●Enrollee: A device that seeks to join an access point or wireless network, but does not have the password or key for the access point or network. Once the computer obtains the valid password or key, it becomes a member of the wireless network. The WiFi connection utility can be configured to operate as an enrollee for a supported access point.

●Registrar: A registrar is a logical entity (usually a computer) that allows other devices (usually computers) to join the wireless network. The WiFi connection utility can be configured to operate as a registrar for a supported access point(s). The registrar securely transfers the access point key or password automatically.

A new wireless network is established by configuring the access point, connecting the desired

computers equipped with wireless adapters, and optionally attaching external network connectivity (i. e. the Internet, typically by connecting the access point to a DSL or cable modem, or equivalent).

Configure an Access Point and Set up a Network

The following steps will configure this computer as a registrar for a secure network or access point.

1.Locate the device ownership password for the access point. This is set by the manufacturer of the access point. The password is often located on a label on the bottom of the device.

2.Turn on the network access point.

3.At the computer that you want to establish as the registrar, turn on the WiFi connection utility.

4.In the WiFi connection utility, click Tools > Application Settings.

5.In the Advanced Settings area under Wi-Fi Protected Setup, turn on Enable device registration.

6. The next message tells you that one or more compatible devices are within range of your

computer. Click this message. (Or, you can select the network from the WiFi Networks list in the WiFi connection utility main window.)

7.At the next window, on the Available Networks list, select the network that you want to connect to. The listed network depends on what is detected. Click Next.

8.At the next window, enter the Device Ownership Password that you retrieved from the access point in step 1. Click Next to continue.

9.The next window shown displays the Network Name, Security Type, and Password. If the access point is already configured, it is grayed out; proceed to step 10. If the access point is not configured (fields are not grayed out), proceed to step 11.

10.After a few seconds the following message is displayed:

The access point is already configured. Do you want to reconfigure it?

If you do not want to reconfigure the access point, select No. The software joins the network, makes the connection, and creates a profile. It then exits and this procedure is completed. If you want to reconfigure the access point, select Yes.

11.The next window is displayed. The first field shows the name of the access point. This is by default the Network Name (SSID). In this example we have reset it to MyWPS. You can name it whatever you want.

12.In the Security Type field, select the security type you want.

WPA* Personal requires manual configuration of a pre-shared key (PSK) on the access point and clients. This PSK authenticates a password or identifying code, on both the client station and the access point. An authentication server is not needed.

WPA2* is the second generation of WPA security that provides enterprise and consumer wireless users with a high level of assurance that only authorized users can access their wireless networks. Here we have selected WPA2 Personal security. You can use Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi profiles to obtain the wireless network name (SSID) and WPA2Personal pass phrase to use for a legacy device.

13.The third field is the Password (Key). The password shown is randomly generated or preconfigured, you can change it to whatever password you want. However you should use a robust key for improved security. It must have between 8 and 63 characters. When you have

completed this step, click Next.

The following windows show the configuration of the access point and the registrar.

The following window appears briefly and shows the configuration of wireless settings for the access point.

14.After the network receives the Ownership Password, you are notified that you have

Successfully connected to <name of wireless network>. Click Finish. This process completes configuration of the access point and the registrar.

15.If you want to save these settings to a profile for future use by a legacy client, click Save wireless settings. The profile settings are saved to a text file (txt) on your local hard drive. The file is saved to your local C:\ drive by default. Accept the default save location or click Browse to choose another location on your computer.

Next, you can connect an enrollee (computer) to the network using the registrar.

Connect an Enrollee to a Network or Access Point

Perform these steps to connect an enrollee to the network you just created. This assumes that the registrar computer is running the WiFi connection utility.

NOTE: To achieve transfer rates greater than 54 Mbps on 802.11n connections, WPA2-AES security must be selected. No security (None) can be selected to enable network setup and troubleshooting.

1.At the enrollee you want to connect the network, a message tells you that one or more access points with Wi-Fi Protected Setup capability is within range of your wireless computer. Click on this message. (Or, you can select the network from the WiFi Networks list in the WiFi connection utility main window.)

2.The Wireless Network Configuration start up page opens. Use the Available Networks list to select the network that you want to connect to (in this example it is MyWPS). Then click

Next.

3.The Discovery window opens. The enrollee that you want to connect to the network discovers the registrar for the network. Assuming that the Discovery process succeeds, the name of the registrar or access point is displayed.

4.The next window appears, displaying the Device Password (enrollee password). The password displayed at the enrollee is a unique, randomly generated temporary password for the enrollee. This password is used to ask permission to connect to the network access point. (The password shown below is an example only).

5. At the registrar, enter the password provided by the enrollee. Then click Next.

NOTE: This process assumes that the registrar is running the WiFi connection utility; the process and windows displayed at the registrar may be different for software from other vendors. Some access points may have a built in registrar.

6.The next window lists the profile for this network. The selected profile will be sent to the enrollee, granting it access to the network. Only supported profiles are displayed. Supported profiles are those based on WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and Open (None) security. Select the profile and click Next to finalize the enrollment process.

7.The last window shows that the enrollee registration with the registrar is complete. Click

Finish.
