These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio interference in a commercial environment. [. . . ] Thus, there's no need to manually set up the value. Transmit Rate This command allows you to indicate the rate of transferring the data packet from the associated access point or any nodes within the range. There are four options for you: Auto 1, 2 Mb, 5. 5 Mb, 11 Mb, and Fully Automatic. Specify the rate from the provided options according to the speed of your wireless network, or you may simply choose Fully Automatic to set the best available rate according to the received signal quality and the capabilities of the associated access point or station. The Encryption Tab Click the Encryption tab to define the encryption settings for a specific profile. It offers you various options concerning the so-called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to maintain the secure management in a wireless LAN environment. See the explanations below for more details, and before making any activation of the new settings, click Apply. To undo the new settings, select the Cancel button. Note: Choosing the WEP Encryption command from the right-click menu of Wireless-G Configuration Tool Tray icon will launch this tab too. 26 Figure 4. 3-4: The Encryption Tab Encryption (WEP security) If you choose Disabled from the pull-down list, you will have the wireless LAN USB adapter communicated with all stations within the same networking community without any data encryption. Otherwise, two key lengths are offered: 64 bit and 128 bit. Specify a preferred one from the two, so that you may use the identical WEP key to make a communication with the chosen access point. Create Keys Manually Once you set the Encryption type as 64 bit or 128 bit, you may choose to edit WEP keys manually or create them via the pass phrase of your wireless network. If you choose the Create Keys Manually option, you may directly enter up to 4 WEP keys for use in WEP encryption. To generate the WEP keys, please define the key entry method as Alphanumeric or Hexadecimal (for hexadecimal characters, only digits 0-9 and letters A-F are valid). Then edit the texts in the blank fields below, from Key 1 to Key 4, as the encryption codes. Note that these codes/keys shall be identical between the wireless nodes within the range and the access point only. Check the table below to find valid key length of each encryption type: 64 bit Alphanumeric Hexadecimal 128 bit 13 characters 26 digits 5 characters 10 digits Use WEP Key Indicate which WEP key you intend to apply to activate the WEP encryption from the pulldown menu. Make sure that the intended access point on the wireless network shares the same keys. 27 Create Keys with Pass phrase Choose this command when the associated wireless network uses a pass phrase to create WEP keys. Enter the pass phrase string in the Pass phrase filed to generate four encryption keys in the Key fields above. Note that only letters A-F are valid for the Pass phrase feature. Note: When entering the pass phrase here, ensure that you have specified an accurate type of the Encryption (WEP security) above according to the associated agent's configuration. Otherwise, the inaccuracy will cause any failure of performance. After finish configuring the Encryption features, remember to click Apply to initiate the new settings. The Site Survey Tab First of all, while entering this tab, please do choose the Rescan button to reinitiate the scanning process and update the list.
