[. . . ] These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with this user's guide, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his/her own expense. The equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment, under 47 CFR 2. 1093 paragraph (d)(2). [. . . ] Select a setting within a range of 256 to 2312 bytes. This setting is only available for Ad Hoc mode. Select the number of the radio channel used for the networking. The channel setting should be the same with the network you are connecting to. 11B Preamble Type Fragment Threshold Channel - 18 - 4. 3. 2 Authentication vs. Security Under the profiles tab, you are able to specify the type of security/authentication mode used to connect with a wireless network. To access, create a new profile or click "edit" on one of the profiles and select the "Authentication and Security" tab. Parameter Authentication Type Description This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that the adapter intends to connect to. All security keys within a network must match to allow successful communications. Open ­ No authentication is needed among the wireless network. Shared ­ Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key identified) are allowed to connecting each other. LEAP ­ Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. This option disables Hawking's wireless utility settings. NOTE: These instructions assume you are running Windows XP with SP2. SP1 users may see slight changes in appearance of menu options. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a specification of standards-based, interoperable security enhancement that strongly increases the level of data protection (encryption) and access control (authentication) for existing and future wireless LAN systems. The technical components of WPA include Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for dynamic key exchange, and 802. 1x for authentication. There are two types of WPA security: WPA-PSK (no server) and WPA (with server). WPA requires a Radius Server to complete authentication among wireless stations and Access Points. Typically, this mode is used in an enterprise environment. WPA-PSK uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key is a password that every wireless station must use to access the network. Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment. - 21 - To enable the WPA function in Windows XP, the following software systems are required: 1. [. . . ] WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN series offer the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and Access Control. Users can set it up depending upon their needs. [. . . ]
