The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. You may specify a SSID for the card and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the card. If you want to add one of the networks nearby to the profile list, pull down the menu, all the networks nearby will be listed and you can add one of them to the profile list. Power Saving Mode The power saving function is only available when the network type is in Infrastructure. WPA requires a Radius Server to complete the authentication among wireless stations and Access Points. Typically, this mode is used in a enterprise environment. WPA-PSK uses a so-called pre-shared key as the security key. A pre-shared key is a password that each wireless station uses the same key to access the network. Typically, this mode will be used in a home environment. To enable the WPA function in Windows XP, the following software systems are required: 1. Windows XP Service Pack 1 with Windows XP Support Patch for Wi-Fi Protected Access program in addition. Configure the card by Wireless built-in utility (Wireless Zero Configuration). Note: In that kind of system, there are two utility selections when you open the configuration utility of the card. You can select to use the XP's built-in utility with full WPA function. If "Use XP Wireless Zero Configuration" is selected, you can only configure the advance setting or check the link status and statistics from the "RaConfig" utility. 1. 2. From here, right click the icon to select "View Available Wireless Networks". [. . . ] Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. What is BSS ID¡H A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID. What is WEP¡H WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802 . 11 standard. [. . . ]
