I Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. [. . . ] Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2312 bytes. RTS Threshold: Minimum packet size to require an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the WLAN. This is the option for the RTS Threshold activation. . 7 Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3. 1. 3 WEP Setting Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from this panel. Enable the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) option in order to activate WEP encryption for transmissions between the stations and the Access Point. WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping. Encryption: Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in the adapter to prevent unauthorized access. For more secure data transmissions, set encryption to "128-bit" or "64-bit. " The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security. The setting must be the same for all clients in your wireless network (Default: None). HEX: You can enter the WEP Key in hexadecimal (0~9, a~f), 13 digit keys in 64 bits and 26digit key in 128bits. Configuration mismatch, which prevents the card from establishing a wireless connection with the (correct) network. Absence of, or conflict of the Wireless LAN CardBus Card driver. A problem or conflict with the connector, which prevents the Wireless LAN CardBus Card from powering on. A conflict of the hardware with another device. What does IEEE 802. 11 feature support¡H CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge Protocol Multi-Channel Roaming Automatic Rate Selection RTS/CTS Feature Fragmentation Power Management Can Wireless products support printer sharing¡H Wireless products perform the same function as LAN products. Therefore, Wireless products can work with Netware, Windows NT/2000, or other LAN operating systems to support printer or file sharing. Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air¡H WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN series offer the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and Access Control. Users can set it up depending upon their needs. What is DSSS¡H What is FHSS¡H And what are their differences¡H Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. [. . . ] Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to accept the (usually randomly) generated key. Once accepted, this key is used for a short time only; then a new key is generated and agreed upon. P Packet - A unit of data routed between an origin and a destination in a network. PCMCIA - Personal Computer Memory Card International Association Plug and Play - The ability of a computer system to configure expansion boards and other devices automatically without requiring the user to turn off the system during installation. R Roaming - The ability to use a wireless device and be able to move from one access point's range to another without losing the connection. RTS/CTS Threshold Value - Should remain at its default setting of 2, 347. [. . . ]
