[. . . ] To make sure if the installation is successful, you could check it through the device management. 5. Once the installation is successful, a utility program icon will show on your Start Menu->WLAN Monitor->WLANmon, just double click the icon. 10 2. Configuration The default page is as below after you launch the Utility program. On the left side of the screen are Available WLANs, which you may connect to by first selecting the WLAN (it will appear highlighted) and then clicking on Add. When you do so a screen like the one below will pop up: 11 In the Wireless Network Properties screen you may change the name of the WLAN. [. . . ] The MAC address is a factory given address that cannot be changed. Advanced State shows the Radio Status (ON or OFF). Click OK to accept the connection status and exit the GUI. Click Cancel to not accept the status settings and exit the GUI. Under the Option Tab general settings and advanced settings are shown. 3. 2 Option Tab Under General Setting, Auto launch when Windows starts up: The WLAN automatically launches when Windows starts up. Remember mini status position: Resident in the memory 15 Auto hide mini status: Auto hide the tools Set mini status always on top: It will lock the station. Enable IP setting and Proxy setting in profile: The function will backup previous IP setting now Under WLAN type to connect Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc network: Wireless mode used when connecting Infrastructure and Ad-Hoc two different access point network environment Infrastructure Connecting to the WLAN using an access point. (This is the default setting). Ad-Hoc Wireless mode used when connecting directly to a computer equipped with a wireless adapter in a Peer-to-Peer environment Under Advance Setting : Disable Radio: Disable to send by radio Fragmentation Threshold: The size at which packets will be fragmented. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2346 bytes. RTS Threshold: Minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. This is the option for the RTS Threshold activation. Ad-Hoc Channel: All devices in the Ad-Hoc network must be set to the same channel. Power save Mode: Fast Save - This setting consumes the half power. Max Save - This setting consumes the least power. Disable - This default setting consumes the most power There power modes to provide 100%, 50% , 25% , 12. 5% and Lowest 5 modes. 16 3. 3 About Tab: Display the Utility Version and Driver Version 17 3.

Glossary IEEE 802. 11 Standard The IEEE 802. 11 Wireless LAN standards subcommittee, which is formulating a standard for the industry. Access Point An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks together. Ad Hoc An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. BSSID A specific Ad Hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSSID. DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - a method in which IP addresses are assigned by server dynamically to clients on the network. DHCP is used for Dynamic IP Addressing and requires a dedicated DHCP server on the network. Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum This is the method the wireless cards use to transmit data over the frequency spectrum. [. . . ] Also a PCMCIA card is also referred to CardBus Adapter. Protocol A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to take place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking. SSID A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same SSID are able to communicate with each other. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP. [. . . ]
