  • Page 10 The Topcom Configuration Utility appears as an icon on the system tray of Windows while the adaptor is running. You can open the utility by double-click on the icon.

  • Page 11: Site Survey

    Site Survey When you open the Topcom Configuration Utility, the system will scan all the channels to find all the access points/stations within the accessible range of your adaptor and automatically connect to the wireless device with the highest signal strength. From the “Site Survey”, all the networks nearby will be listed.

  • Page 12: Profile

    Profile The “Profiles List” is for you to manage the networks you connect to frequently. You are able to Add/Delete/Edit/Activate a profile. Parameter Profiles List Add/Delete/Edit Button Activate Button Description The profiles list display all the profiles and the relative settings of the profiles including Profile Name, SSID, Channel, etc.

  • Page 13: Configure The Profile

    3.2.1 Configure the Profile 3.2.1.1 Configuration Parameter Profile Name SSID Description Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different networks. 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.
  • Page 14 Parameter PSM (Power Saving Mode) Network Type TX Power Ad Hoc Wireless Mode Preamble Description The power saving function is only available when the network type is in Infrastructure. CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) – The adaptor will always set in active mode.

  • Page 15: Authentication And Security

    Parameter RTS Threshold Fragment Threshold Channel 3.2.1.2 Authentication and Security Parameter Authentication Type Description Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a setting within a range of 0 to 2347 bytes.
  • Page 16 Parameter Authentication Type 802.1x Setting Description LEAP – LEAP is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol, with many of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for use only when limited vendor choice for client, access-point, and server products is not a concern.
  • Page 17 Parameter Encryption Mode WPA Pre-Shared Key WEP Key (Key1 ~ Key4) Description None – Disable the encryption mode. WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys. TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This ensures much greater security than the standard WEP security.
  • Page 18 The IEEE 802.1X specification describes a protocol that can be used for authenticating both clients and servers on a network. The authentication algorithms and methods are those provided by the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), a method of authentication that has been in use for a number of years on networks that provide Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) support as many internet service providers and enterprises do.

  • Page 28: Troubleshooting

    4 Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and operation of the adapter. 1. What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? 802.11g is the new IEEE standard for high-speed wireless LAN communications that provides for up to 54 Mbps data rate in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g is quickly becoming the next mainstream wireless LAN technology for the home, office and public networks.
  • Page 29 6. What is BSS ID？ A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID. 7. What is WEP？ 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.
  • Page 30 13. What is Spread Spectrum？ Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communication systems. It is designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast.
