3.2.1 Scan for Other Wireless Devices
There are two kinds of wireless connection mode: Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc. Infrastructure mode is used by wireless access points, which is able to establish wireless connection for you and other wireless/wired network clients. Ad-Hoc mode is also know as ‘point-to-point’ mode, and in this mode, wireless devices such as computer or PDA will not be capable to establish wireless connection with more than one wireless device, and is suitable for establishing a one-to-one wireless connection between two wireless devices. Before connecting to any wireless access point or device by infrastructure or Ad-Hoc mode, there are two issues to be aware of:
y Wireless device’s ‘SSID’ (Service Set Identifier). Users can scan for the
SSID of other wireless devices nearby, but if the SSID of the wireless device is hidden, it is necessary to know exact SSID before establishing the connection.
9
y If the wireless device uses encryption, the user must know its encryption
key in order to connect.
Please launch utility and it will scan for wireless access points near by:
SSID
Parameter Description
The SSID of the wireless access point or wireless device selected by user will be displayed here. When the SSID of access point or wireless device is not available, users have to input it here manually. If symbol appears in front of the name of wireless device, it means the user has established connection with that wireless device. It shows the connection type and channel number of this wireless device.
: Wireless device is an access point.
: Wireless device is a computer (Ad-Hoc mode for point-
to-point connection). The wireless standard supported by this access point is displayed here.
: WPS icon will appear when the access point supports
WPS.
: If the access point uses encryption, a key icon will
appear.
When the access point supports WPS and WPS appear. User may not see the key icon, even through the access point uses encryption.

will
If users cannot see the access point, please click ‘Rescan’ button to scan for access point again, until the one preferred is displayed on the interface. Users may have to click ‘Rescan’ for more than two times before the access point wish to connect appears. If user still cannot see the access point after clicking ‘Rescan’ for more than five times, please move the computer closer to the wireless access point.
If users wish to see detailed information for a specific access point, please double-click on it, and detailed information will be provided.
Parameter Description
Displays basic information about this access point, such as
General
WPS CCX
802.11n Sorted by >> Show dBm
Rescan
Add to Profile
Connect
SSID, MAC Address, authentication / encryption type, channel etc. If this access point supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), related information will be displayed here. If this access point supports CCX (Cisco Compatible eXtension), related information will be displayed here. If this access point complies with 802.11n draft, related information will be displayed here. Users can decide how to sort all listed access point by ‘SSID’, ‘Channel’, or ‘Signal’ (signal strength). Check this box to show the signal strength of access point, instead of percentage. Click this button to rescan access p oints. Users can click this button for several times, if the access point users wish to use does not show in the list. Users can store a specific access point to profile, so access point can be directly connected next time, without inputting authentication key again. To add an access point to profile, users have to select an access point from the list first, then click ‘Add to Profile’ button. Detailed instructions will be given below. Connect to a selected access point. Users have to select an access point from the list first and then click ‘Connect’ to connect to the selected access point.
3.2.2 Connect to Access Point
If the wireless access point users wish to connect is found, it can establish connection by clicking on ‘Connect’ button. Instructions will be given as follow:
11
Step 1. Click the wireless access point or network device to connect, it will be highlighted, then click on ‘Connect’.
If the access point selected does not use encryption, it will connect to this device within one minute. If the access point selected uses encryption, please proceed to step 3.
Step 2. If the wireless access point does not have SSID, user will be prompted to input it in the field provided. Please ask the owner of wireless access point for the exact SSID to enter, and then click ‘OK’ when ready. If the SSID provided is wrong, user will be prevented to access the wireless device.
Step 3. If the wireless access point uses encryption, user will be prompted to input its WEP key or WPA preshared key.
12
Step 4. Please ask the owner of the wireless access point for the security information, and input the correct key here and then click on ‘OK’. By checking ‘Show Password’ box, the encryption key inputted here will be displayed. Authentication type will be selected by the access point automatically, please do not change it.
However, if the user connecting to an access point uses 802.1x authentication, they will be required to check ‘802.1x’ box and input related information.
Step 5. If the wireless access point is successfully connected, you’ll see an icon appears in front of the name of wireless device.
