[. . . ] Insert the Product CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive of your computer. An Auto-run is automatically executed and the following screen comes up. If not, run the Autorun. exe on the CD-ROM The menu offers the following choices : Install the Wireless LAN Utility and driver Read the present manual To launch the installation, click Wi-Fi adapter install A first screen shows up. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Wireless LAN Utility. [. . . ] 5 1) Security disabled on Access Point. If your Access Point works without security, your wireless LAN adapter also has to be set without WEP. Check in the main screen of the Utility that the Security Enabled check box is unchecked. 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 the Configuration tab in the main screen of the Utility and activate the Security Enabled check box. Here we will explain how to configure open security with WEP and WPA-PSK security with TKIP. 2. 1) WEP encryption : In the window Security, you will have to : select authentication : Open encryption is fix to WEP disable IEEE 802. 1X authentication mode select the WEP type : 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 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". 6 Create Encryption Keys by Using a Passphrase 1- Select first the 64 bits or 128 bits length of the key. 3- Select index key 4- Enter the string in Network key and Confirm network key. 5- Finally click the Apply button in the Configuration 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 64 bits or 128 bits length of the key to generate 2. Enter manually the key you want in the key field taking in account the remarks here after specifying the authorized characters 5. Finally click the Apply button in the Configuration tab to save the configuration and make setting take effect. For 64 bits encryption you may choose: · · Alphanumeric: 5 characters (case sensitive) ranging from a-z, A-Z and 0-9 (e. g. [. . . ] 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 field AdHoc Channel in the main screen of the WLAN utility. Then click the Apply button on the Configuration 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 Configuration 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. [. . . ]
