1.4 Wireless LAN Networking
Wireless LAN networking works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. In
infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate to a wired LAN via access points. Each
access po int and its wireless devices are known as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended
Service Set (ESS) is two or more BSSs in the same subnet. In ad hoc mode (also known as
peer-to-peer mode), wireless devices communicate with each other directly and do not use an
access point. This is an Independent BSS (IBSS).
To connect to a wired network within a coverage area using access points, set the adapter
operation mode to Infrastructure (BSS). To set up an independent wireless workgroup without
an access point, use Ad-hoc (IBSS) mode.
A
D-HOC (IBSS) NETWORK
Ad-hoc mode does not require an access point or a wired network. Two or more wireless
statio ns communica te directly to eac h other. An ad-hoc network may sometimes be referred to
as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS).
To set up an ad-hoc network, configure all the stations in ad-hoc mode. Use the same SSID
and channel for each.
3
When a number of wireless stations are connected u sing a single access point, you have a
Basic Service Set (BSS).
In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay
data packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless
stations can then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.
4
In an ESS environment, users are able to move from one access point to another without
losing the connection. In the diagram below, when the user moves from BSS (1) to BSS (2)
the adapter automatically switches to the channel used in BSS (2).

¾ SSID: Enter the SSID of the network. The SSID is a unique name shared among all
points in your wireless network. The SSID must be identi cal for all poi nts in the n etwork,
and is case-sensitive. Place a check in the any box if you would like the device to
connect to the first available Access Point with the strongest signal.
¾ Network Type: Select a network type from the drop-down list.
¾ Infrastructure or Ad-hoc: If you select infrastructure, the device must be connected to
an Access Point. If you select ad-hoc, you may connect the device to another WLAN
client adapter (such as this one).

4.1.1.2 WEP Encryption
You may select 64, 128 or 256 bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key to encrypt data
(Default setting is Disable). WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one
of the Keys from a panel. When you use WEP to communicate with the other wireless
clients, all the wireless devices in this network must have the same encryption key or pass
phrase.
¾ Authentication: Select Open System or Shared Key from the drop-down list. If you
are not sure what to choose, please select auto.
¾ Encryption: Select WEP from the drop-down list.

4.1.1.3 WPA/WPA2 Authentication with TKIP/AES Encryption
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was design ed to im pro ve upo n the s ecurity f eatur es of WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is d esigned to work with existin g Wi-Fi pro ducts
that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through the
Temporal key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t
been tampered with.

¾ Authentication: Select WPA from the drop-down list.
¾ Encryption: Select TKIP or AES from the drop-down list.
¾ Click on the WPA Encryption Setting button.
In this section you can configure the settings for TLS or PEAP. TLS (Transport Layer
Security) is an IETF standardized authentication protocol that uses PKI (Public Key
Infrastructure) certificate-based authentication of both the client and authentication server.
21
Figure 4-8 WPA setting
¾ Protocol: Select TLS from the drop-down list.
¾ User Name: Enter the user name that is used for authentication purposes .
¾ Passphrase: Enter a WPA passphrase. For ASCII text, enter 8-63 characters, for
hexadecimal enter 64 characters).
¾ Certificate: Make sure that you have downloaded and installed the certificate on the
computer. Then select the appropriate certificate from the drop-down list.
¾ Click on the Apply button to save the changes.
The PEAP authentication type is based on EAP TLS authentication, but uses a password
instead of a client certificate for authentication. PEAP uses a dynamic session-based WEP
key, which is derived from the device and RADIUS server, to encrypt data.

Appendix A: Glossary
¾ IEEE 802.11b - The IEEE 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps
using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. IEEE 802.11b
networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks.
¾ IEEE 802.11g - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 8021b
devices, and WEP encryption for security.
¾ Ad-hoc Netw ork - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless
adapter, connected as an independent IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless
computers operate on a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other
without the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent
Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer mode, and is useful at a departmental
scale or SOHO operation.
¾ Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or other
devices, each with a wireless adapter, connected as an IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN. In
infrastructure mode, the wireless devices communicate with each other and to a wired
network by first going through an access point. An infrastructure wireless network
connected to a wired network is referred to as a Basic Service Se t (BSS). A set of two or
more BSS in a single network is referred to as an Extended Service Set (ESS).
Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale, or when it is necessary to connect
the wired and wireless networks.
¾ SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric
key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This
is typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the
ESSID in the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.
¾ WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64 bit or 128
bit or 256 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802. 11g st andard.
¾ Wi-Fi - A trade name for the IEEE 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the
Wireless Ethernet Compa tibility Alliance (WECA, s ee http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry
standards group promoting interoperability among IEEE 802. 11b devi ce s.
¾ WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a
local area.
