After completing the installation procedure, a new icon as shown below will automatically appear in the lower right tray bar. Hold your mouse pointer over the icon, and press the right mouse button to open the Wireless Client Utility. The Wireless Client Utility window as shown below will appear. The user can now use any of the management functions available in the IEEE 802. 11 Wireless Client Utility. 14 2. 6. 1 Link Information Click the Link Information tab to see general information about the program and its operation. The following table describes the items found on the Link Information screen. Wireless Network Status Profile Name The name of the current selected configuration profile. Set up the configuration name on the Profile tab. SSID Displays the wireless network name. Link Status Shows whether the station is associated to the wireless network. Network Type The type of network the station is connected to. The options include: Infrastructure (access point) Ad Hoc Wireless Mode Displays the wireless mode. 802. 11g or 11b Channel Shows the currently connected channel. Transmit Rate Displays the current transmit rate in Mbps. AP MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the access point the wireless adapter is associated to. Security Status Security Shows the security type ­ Disable, WEP, WPA/WPA2, WAP-PSK/WAP2-PSK or 802. 1X Authentication Displays the authentication mode. TCP/IP Status IP Address Displays the computer's IP address. Subnet Mask Gateway Displays subnet mask Displays gateway address Smart Antenna Status Algorithm State Three states will be shown. Transport Layer Security (TLS) provides for mutual authentication, integrity-protected cipher suite negotiation, and key exchange between two endpoints. PEAP (EAP-GTC) (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) authenticates wireless LAN clients using only server-side digital certificates by creating an encrypted SSL/TLS tunnel between the client and the authentication server. The tunnel then protects the subsequent user authentication exchange. [. . . ] Wireless devices must have the same SSID to communicate with each other. TEMPORAL KEY INTEGRITY PROTOCOL (TKIP) Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses 128-bit keys that are dynamically generated and distributed by the authentication server. USER AUTHENTICATION WPA applies IEEE 802. 1X and Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to authenticate wireless clients using an external RADIUS database. If you do not have an external RADIUS server, use WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK (WPA -Pre-Shared Key) that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point, wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the passwords match, clients will be granted access to a WLAN. WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption scrambles all data packets transmitted between the TEW-604UB and the AP or other wireless stations to keep network communications private. [. . . ]
