[. . . ] 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 In the displayed list, select your adapter model as labeled on it. Once done, the following choices are offered : Install the Wireless Networking software and drivers Read the present manual To launch the installation, click "Wi-Fi adapter install" A first screen appears. [. . . ] If your Access Point works without security, your wireless LAN also has to be set without WEP or WPA. Check in the main screen of the Utility that the Security Type list is set to Disable. 2) Security enabled on Access Point. Beware that if you enable security on your , you necessarily have to enable the type of security on the Access Point side, as well, if you want your to be able to associate with it. Go the Configure tab in the main screen of the Utility and select in the Security Type list the wanted security type. Here we will explain how to configure open security with WEP and WPA-PSK security with TKIP. 2. 1) WEP encryption : In the screen " Configure", you will have to : Security Type is fix to WEP 64 bits or 128 bits select the index key select the way to generate the encryption keys (from a passphrase or manually) 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 in our case). 6 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". Create Encryption Keys by Using a "Passphrase" 1- Select first the "WEP (64 bits)" or "WEP (128 bits)" length of the key. 3- Select index key (fixed to 1 for WEP 128 bits) 4- Enter the string in PassPhrase. 5- Finally click the "Apply button" in the Configure tab to save the configuration. 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. Create Encryption Keys Manually You can also create up a encryption key. Select first the "WEP (64 bits)" or "WEP (128 bits)" length of the key to generate 2. [. . . ] Then click the "Apply" button on the Configuration tab to make the setting take effect. Configuration of the Channel To be part of a same network, wireless clients must use the same channel If you want to associate to an existing Ad Hoc network, select the channel of this network in the corresponding canal in the main screen of the WLAN utility. Then click the "Apply" button on the Configure tab to make the setting take effect. If you want to create a new Wireless Ad Hoc network, select an unused channel, then click the "Apply" button on the Configure tab to make the setting take effect. Configuration of WEP encryption The configuration of WEP encryption in Ad Hoc mode is similar to the one in Infrastructure Mode. [. . . ]
