Page 8: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction The SMCWUSB-G2 is a USB 2.0 pen-size wireless adapter supporting IEEE 802.11b/g 2.4GHz radio operation. It provides high-speed wireless connection with data rate up to 54Mbps. Additionally, wireless roaming allows the user to move among different AP without losing the current connection. -
Page 9: Wireless Lan Networking
1.4 Wireless LAN Networking Wireless LAN networking works in either of the two modes: ad-hoc and infrastructure. In infrastructure mode, wireless devices communicate to a wired LAN via access points. Each access point and its wireless devices are known as a Basic Service Set (BSS). An Extended Service Set (ESS) is two or more BSSs in the same subnet. - Page 10 When a number of wireless stations are connected using a single access point, you have a Basic Service Set (BSS). In the ESS diagram below, communication is done through the access points, which relay data packets to other wireless stations or devices connected to the wired network. Wireless stations can then access resources, such as a printer, on the wired network.
- Page 11 In an ESS environment, users are able to move from one access point to another without losing the connection. In the diagram below, when the user moves from BSS (1) to BSS (2) the adapter automatically switches to the channel used in BSS (2). Roaming in an ESS network diagram...

Page 25: Wep Encryption
4.1.1.2 WEP Encryption You may select 64, 128 or 256 bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key to encrypt data (Default setting is Disable). WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the Keys from a panel. When you use WEP to communicate with the other wireless clients, all the wireless devices in this network must have the same encryption key or pass phrase. -
