Utility & Web - Double Management Tools
VUS-100 provides you with two ways for management: Utility and Web. You can use either of them
to check and configure your USB storage settings.
Follow the steps below to start them:
Utility Management Tool
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 12
Copy the Utility.exe from the attached product CD into your PC, and double-click to run this utility, as
shown below:
Figure 6 Default Interface of Utility
Web-based Management Interface
Alternatively, after accessing the wireless network, you can input the IP address (By default it is set to
192.168.1.1) of VUS-100 in the IE address field to login VUS-100 Web-based management interface
or use UPnP to login VUS-100 and make configuration.
As the information and configuration options in Web-based management interface are identical to the
ones in Utility, we mainly take Utility as an example in this manual.
Basic Settings
From the Utility, click to open System → General in the left menu bar to modify basic parameters for
your VUS-100.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 13
Figure 7 Basic Settings
Device Name
You can specify the name of VUS-100 at will. Note that it is 15 characters at most and case-sensitive.
UPnP
By enabling UPnP, VUS-100 is able to search for available network devices automatically, so as to
establish connection with other network devices much faster.
IP Settings
You can specify and manage the IP address of VUS-100 in this page.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 14
Figure 8 IP Address Assignment
Obtain IP Address Automatically
By checking this option, VUS-100 will request for an IP address from the network if being connected
to the wireless network, then the DHCP server will select an idle IP from its IP pool and allocate it to
VUS-100 after receiving this request.
Use Fixed IP Address
You have to manually specify the IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP, primary DNS and secondary
DNS if check this option.
Note:
When browsing the shared folders in LAN with VUS-100, the IP address of
VUS-100 and the PC in LAN should be in the same network segment.
When browsing Flickr network album with VUS-100, set an IP address for your
VUS-100 to access the Internet.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 15
Wireless Basic Settings
From the Utility, click Wireless → Basic Settings in the left menu bar to make basic wireless
configuration for your VUS-100.
Figure 9 Wireless Basic Settings
SSID
For AP and STA to identify a wireless network, SSID is composed of 32 ASCII characters at most and
is case-sensitive. Keep the SSID on VUS-100 and AP identical for connection. By default, it is set to
any which means VUS-100 will search and establish connection with the available AP of strongest
signal strength.
Output Power
Specify the transmission power for VUS-100. The higher the output power is, the wider the wireless
signal covers, whereas the power consumption grows accordingly. Usually, it is set to Full.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 16
Wireless Security Settings
Figure 10 Wireless Security Settings
Auth-Type (Authentication Type)
- Open System: Allows connection with any AP.
- Shared Key: Encryption and key are required.
- WPA-PSK: As a simplified WPA mode, there is no need for special authentication server. This
WPA Pre-shared Key mode only requires to input a key in each WLAN nodes (AP, wireless router,
adapter, etc) beforehand.
- WPA2-PSK: This is a new version of WPA. If it is enabled, AES encryption and passphrase are
required.
Encryption
Select a data encryption way. If it is enabled, key is required. And only share the same key with other
wireless devices (AP), can the connection be established.
- None: Available only under open system.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings 17
- 64 bits: It is composed of 10 hex digits.
- 128 bits: It is composed of 26 hex digits.
- 152 bits: it is composed of 32 hex digits.
- TKIP: Short for Temporary Key Integrity Protocol, it is a dynamic encryption way co-used with
WPA-PSK.
- AES: Short for Advanced Encryption Standard, it is usually co-used with WPA, WPA2,
WPA2-PSK.
Note:
Keep the Auth-Type, Encryption and Key in VUS-100 and its associated AP
identical, otherwise the connection may fail!
Site Survey

IEEE 802.11n An extension to 802.11 specification developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN
(WLAN) technology. 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO). The additional transmitter and receiver
antennas allow for increased data throughput through spatial multiplexing and
increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity through coding schemes. The
speed is 100 Mbit/s, and so up to 4-5 times faster than 802.11g. 802.11n also
offers a better operating distance than current networks.
Access Point A base station in a wireless LAN, which is typically a wireless Ethernet (Wi-Fi)
LAN. It is typically a stand-alone device that plugs into an Ethernet switch or
hub. If more than one access point is used, like a cellular phone system, users
can roam with their mobile devices and be handed off from one cell to another.
WEP Wired Equivalent Protection, is a kind of data encryption. WEP 40bits/128bits is
the standard of IEEE 802.11. this encryption method enhances the security of
wireless network.

IP Address is a four-byte number uniquely defining each host on the Internet,
usually written in dotted-decimal notation with periods separating the bytes (for
example, 134.177.244.57). Ranges of addresses are assigned by Internet, an
organization formed for this purpose. Combined with the IP address, the IP

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Interference Statement
This device, IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Media Adapter, complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference received; including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
“This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.”
Warning: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment.
Caution:
1. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment, under 47 CFR 2.1093 paragraph (d)(2).
2. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
The IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Media Adapter has been tested to the FCC exposure requirements
