[. . . ] For that, please follow the next instructions: 1. Insert the Product CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. 2 2. An Auto-run is automatically executed and the following screen comes up. If not, run the "Autorun. exe" on the CD-ROM Select in the list your adapter model. [. . . ] Your network can only be operated in the 2 following conditions: No security activated, neither in the Access Point, neither in the client stations Security activated (recommended for securing your data) in the Access Point and on all client stations with the same characteristics of encryption. If your Access Point works without security, your wireless LAN adapter also has to be set without security. Check in the Encryption screen of the Utility that the Network Authentication is set to open and Data encryption is set to Disable. 6 2) Security enabled on Access Point. Beware that if you enable security on your adapter, you necessarily have to enable the type of security on the Access Point side, as well, if you want your adapter to be able to associate with it. Go to the Encryption tab in the Config screen of the Utility to set the security. Here we will explain how to configure open security with WEP and WPA-PSK security with TKIP. 2. 1) WEP encryption : In the window " Encryption ", you will have to : select authentication : Open set encryption to WEP select the key format : ASCII characters or hexadecimal digits select the key length : 64 bits or 128 bits select the default index key select the way to generate the encryption keys (from a automatic or manual) Length of the WEP keys WEP protocol offers two levels of encryption: encryption based on 40 or 64 bits key length and more secure encryption based on 104 or 128 bits key length. The 40 bits keys and the 64 bits keys are the same, if their effective length is 64 bits, only 40 bits are selected by the user, the others bits are automatically calculated. Speak about 40 bits keys or 64 bits keys is the same thing. It is identical for the 104 and 128 bits keys. The principle of management is identical for both 64 bits and 128 bits. The key length has to be set at the same value on the Access Point and on the client station (Wireless LAN adapter in our case). Creation of the WEP keys It is possible to manually enter the WEP key you want to use. However, this entry being rather tedious, especially for 128 bit keys, it is possible to have them generated automatically. To do that, you will have to enter a string of characters called "Passphrase". 7 Create Encryption Keys by Using a automatic generation "Passphrase" 1- select authentication to Open 2- Set encryption to WEP 3- Select first the "64 bits" or "128 bits" length of the key. 4- Select "ASCII" or "Hexadecimal" 5- Select " Automatic Generation " and enter the key string in passphrase 6- Select the default key index 7- Finally click the "Apply"button 8- to save the configuration in profile use "Save Configuration" button 9- To quit click "OK" button. Warning: when Create Key with Passphrase is enabled, the wireless device's Key number with PassPhrase must match the Key number with PassPhrase used by the access point with which wireless devices are going to communicate. Select first the "64 bits" or "128 bits" length of the key to generate 4. Select "ASCII" or "Hexadecimal" 5. Enter manually the key you want in the corresponding index key field taking in account the remarks here after specifying the authorized characters 6. Finally click the "Apply"button 8. [. . . ] If you want to create a new Wireless Ad Hoc network, select an unused channel, then click the "Apply" button to make the setting take effect and "OK". 10 Configuration of WEP encryption The configuration of WEP encryption in Ad Hoc mode is similar to the one in Infrastructure Mode. The configuration of your Wireless LAN adapter in Ad-Hoc mode is finished. About Status Information on your Wireless LAN USB adapter LED Indicator The SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER has a PWR LED and a DATA LED indicator giving the following informations on the link status: PWR LED ON The adapter is receiving power from the USB port. · Plug out the Wireless LAN adapter, then plug in it into the same USB port on your computer. · Under Windows check the Wireless LAN adapter driver is correctly installed.
