FCC Warning This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the regulations 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 when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. [. . . ] In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user manually enters the starting password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network. WPA takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized users that don't have the matching password from joining the networ k, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized devices. The encryption methods are including TKIP and AES. Note that this option is only available for Windows XP. WPA2 ­ This mode complies with the 802. 11i standard. Option available on Windows XP computers only. Parameter Encryption Mode Description None ­ Disable the WEP Data Encryption. WEP ­ Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys. TKIP ­ TKIP (Temporal Key Integ rity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10, 000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network. ) This insures much greater security than the standard WEP security. AES ­ AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most advanced solution defined by IEEE 802. 11i for the security in the wireless network. 14 Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the communication. WPA Pre-Shared Key The WPA-PSK key can be from eight to 64 characters and can be letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the wireless stations in the network. WEP Key (Key1 ~ Key4) The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. There are two types of key length: 64 -bit and 128 -bit. Select the default encryption key from Key 1 to Key 4 by selected the radio button. Fill the text box by following the rules below. 64-bit ­ Input 10-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0 -9 " range) or 5-digit ASCII characters (including "a-z" and "0 -9 ") as the encryption keys . For example: "0123456aef" or "test1". 128 -bit ­ Input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters (including "a -z" and "0-9") as the encryption keys . For example: "01234567890123456789abcdef" or "administrator". 4. 3. 3 Enable WPA in Windows XP You can opt to use the XP's built-in wireless Zero Configuration Utility (ZCU) to control your wireless adapter settings and to enable security with full WPA and WEP authentication. This option disables Hawking's wireless utility settings. NOTE: These instructions assume you are running Windows XP with SP2. [. . . ] Users can set it up depending upon their needs. Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short-duration impulse noise. [. . . ]
