[. . . ] SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER Quick Start Guide About this guide This Quick Start Guide describes how to install and operate your SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER. Please read this manual before you install the product. Introduction The SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER is a network adapter with a rate of 54 to 1 Mbps operating in the 2. 4 GHz band implementing the IEEE 802. 11g standard. Its USB port is USB 2. 0 compliant It fully supports wireless networking under Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP or under Mac OS X. 2 or higher The Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) USB adapter can be operated in one of the two following networking configurations : 1. Infrastructure Networking In this mode, the radio links are coordinated by an Access Point enabling to access an existing wired network and/or enabling to access to network resources such as Internet, email, file transfer. . . [. . . ] For 64bit encryption you may choose: Alphanumeric: 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (e. g. MyKey) 9 Hexadecimal: 10 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (e. g. 11AA22BB33) For 128bit encryption you may choose: Alphanumeric: 13 characters (case sensitive) ranging from "a-z", "A-Z" and "0-9" (e. g. MyKey12345678) Hexadecimal: 26 hexadecimal digits in the range of "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" (e. g. 00112233445566778899AABBCC). 2. 2) WPA-PSK / TKIP encryption: For Windows only 1 - Select authentication mode : WPA-PSK 2 ­ Select encryption mode : TKIP. 3 ­ Enter a string from 8 to 63 characters or a 64 hexadecimal characters key in Network key and Confirm network key. 4 - Select «OK» to close Privacy configuration. 5 - select «Apply button» in the Configuration tab to save the configuration and make setting take effect. The configuration of your Wireless LAN adapter to access to Internet under Windows is finished II. To set your Wireless LAN adapter in infrastructure mode, select "Access Point" in the field "Network Type" and then click "Apply" button to make the setting take effect. Configuration of the Encryption parameters To prevent unauthorized wireless station from accessing data transmitted over your network, the Wireless LAN adapter offers a highly secure data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The activation or not of this WEP encryption has to be set on the same way on the Access Point and on your LAN USB adapter (client station). Your network can only be operated in the 2 following conditions: No WEP activated, neither in the Access Point, neither in the client stations WEP 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 WEP encryption, your wireless LAN adapter also has to be set without WEP. Check in the Profile screen of your connection that the "Enabled WEP" check box is unchecked. Beware that if you enable WEP encryption on your adapter, you necessarily have to enable it on the Access Point side, as well, if you want your adapter to be able to associate with it. Go the Profile screen of your connection and check the "Enabled WEP" check box. In this window, you will have to : Select one of the generated key (the same that has been selected in the Access Point) Select the WEP type : 40 bits or 104 bits, Generate the keys 12 Keys Selection You can create up to 4 encryption keys, but only one of them is active. To enter a key, first you must check the "Enabled Key Index" check box, select the WEP key index you want (index 0 for key 1. . . ) then create the key. To select one of the key as active key, its index must be visible in the index screen before you click "Apply" button to make the setting take effect. 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 40 bits and 104 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). [. . . ] It permits to connect at one of these Access Point by double clicking on it. Description of all the Wireless LAN Utility features Please refer to the User Manual for a complete description of the functions that are offered by the Wireless LAN Utilities. Uninstall the Wireless LAN adapter I. To remove the Wireless LAN Utility from your computer, go to the Start menu and select "Uninstall SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB adapter LAN Utility ".
