[. . . ] Power-ON computer, Insert Installation CD to your CD-ROM drive. Browse CD and double-click setup. exe in ZEW1603 folder to execute it. The wizard will run and install all necessary files to your computer automatically. Or click No to cancel the installation. Figure 2-1 3. [. . . ] Throughput: Shows current receiving throughput (Kbps) 8 3. 3 Site Survey Under Site Survey tab, you will know information of all surrounding wireless networks from the last scan. Or Select a SSID to add to your profile. Figure 3-3 Indicates your current connected network. 9 3. 3. 1 ADD/EDIT Profile a. Configuration Figure 3-4 Create a Profile Name and choose SSID from the drop-down menu for all available wireless networks. Power Save Mode: CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): ZEW1603 will stay power-ON as long as the computer is connected to a power outlet. PSM (Power Saving Mode): ZEW1603 will hibernate when the computer is hibernate. Network Type: Infrastructure: A wireless Router and/or Access Point is required. Ad-hoc: Peer-to-Peer network, no base station required. TX Power: Amount of transmit power used by the radio transceiver to send out signal. User can choose different value in the drop down menu 4. Preamble: Only available under Ad-hoc mode. Value can be chose from Auto, Long, or Short 10 5. Threshold: Frame size when RTS/CTS handshake performs before attempt to transmit. RTS Threshold: Default value = 2347 Fragment Threshold: Default value = 2346 b. Authentication and Security: Figure 3-5 1. Authentication: Open, Shared, Leap, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA and WPA2 2. Encryption: Algorithm used in BSS or IBSS, WEP, TKIP, AES, and None 3. 802. 1x configuration: When choosing Authentication - WPA or WPA2, you could configure 802. 1x by clicking 802. 1x Setting When choosing Authentication - Open or Shared-key, you could also click 802. 1x Setting to configure 802. 1x. 11 Figure 3-6 PEAP(Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol): an edition of EAP(Extensible Authentication Protocol). EAP assures the mutual authentication of wireless users and server in the networking operation center. TLS/Smart Card: TLS(Transport Layer Security), use to configure an encryption channel and obtain the authentication of server, similar to the webpage server authentication by SSL(Secure Sockets Layer). This type uses data certificate to check the identity of users and server. TTLS: uses certificate to validate the server identity and keep the similar security properties of TLS at same time. Such as, to mutually authenticate and dialog the shared secret of WEP key. [. . . ] Access control includes Allow All and Refuse All. After editing the MAC address access list, only the MAC in the Allow All list could access the Soft AP. Figure 5-3 20 5. 4 MAC Table MAC Table page shows the information of the wireless devices accessed to this soft AP. Figure 5-4 5. 5 Switch to Working Station mode In the Soft AP mode, right-click the icon in the system tray and choose Switch to Station Mode, then ZEW1603 is switching to working station mode with an interface of working station.
