Each time you insert the Hawking Hi-Gain card the Hawking Wireless Utility should automatically load. In the case that it doesn't you may manually load the Utility by using "FINDER" to view your "APPLICATIONS" folder and selecting the Hawking Wireless Utility Icon displayed on the left. 3. 1 Site Survey When you open the Configuration Utility, the system will scan all wireless channels to find all access points/stations within the accessible range of your card and automatically connect to the wireless device with the highest signal strength. When using the "Site Survey" option, all nearby networks will be listed. You can change your connection to another network or you may add one of the networks to your own profile list. Parameter AP List Description This list shows all available wireless networks within range of your card. It also displays the information of the networks including the SSID, BSSID, Signal Strength, Channel, Encryption, Authentication and Network Type. If you want to connect to any networks on the list, double-click the item on the list, and the card will automatically connect to the selected network. Rescan Button Click "Rescan" button to collect the information of all the wireless networks nearby. 8 Connect Button Click "Connect" to connect to the selected network. Add to Profile Button Add the selected network to Profiles list. 3. 2 Profile The "Profiles List" is for you to manage the networks you connect to frequently. You are able to Add/Delete/Edit/Activate a profile. Parameter Profiles List Description The profiles list display all the profiles and the relative information including Profile Name, SSID, Channel, etc. Add/Delete/Edit Button Click these buttons to add/delete/edit the selected profiles. Activate Button Click "Activate" to connect to the selected profile. 9 3. 2. 1 Configure the Profile System Configuration Parameter Profile Name Description Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different networks. 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". 13 3. 3 Link Status From the "Link Status" option, you can view all the information of the network you are connecting to. You can use this tool in while at the same time repositioning the Hi-Gain antenna to find the optimal location for antenna placement. Parameter Status Description Display the SSID and MAC ID of the network the card is connecting to. Display the number of the radio channel and the frequency used for the networking. Current Channel Parameter Current Tx Rate Description Display the transmission rate of the network. The maximum transmission rate is 54Mbps. Display the speed of data transmitted and received. Throughput (Kbits/sec) Link Quality This bar indicates the quality of the link. The higher the percentage, the better the quality. [. . . ] Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air 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. [. . . ]
