Page 14: Configure The Profile
3.2.1 Configure the Profile 3.2.1.1 Base Configuration Parameter Description Profile Name Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different networks. SSID 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 15: Wireless Network Security
3.2.1.2 Wireless network security Parameter Description Network Authentication Type This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that SP906GK intends to connect. Open System – No authentication is needed in the wireless network. Shared Key – Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP Key identified) are allowed to connect to each other. - Page 16 password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each wireless station in the network. WPA-PSK takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized users that don't have the matching password from joining the network, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized devices. WPA2 –...
- Page 17 802.1x Setting When you set the Authentication Type to Open, Shared, WPA or WPA2, you can also enable IEEE 802.1x setting to use the authentication server or certification server to authenticate client users. WPA Pre-Shared Key The WPA-PSK key can be from 8 to 64 characters and can be letters or numbers.
- Page 18 The IEEE 802.1X specification describes a protocol 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.

3.2.1.3 802.1x Setting-Certification Parameter Description Authentication Type The EAP authentication protocols this card supports are listed below. This setting has to be consistent with the wireless APs or Routers that SP906GK intends to connect. PEAP &TTLS – PEAP and TTLS are similar and easier than TLS in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol to be used within an encrypted tunnel. -

Session Resumption Select from “Disabled”, “Reauthentication”, “Roaming”, “SameSSID” and “Always” options when you want to recover the session in different status. Identity Name the server for server identification. Password Enter the password for server identification. Use Client Certificate A client certificate is required for TLS, and is optional for TTLS and PEAP. - Page 21 Allow Intermediate When the server designates an issuer as a trusted root Certificates authority, it places the issuer's self-signed certificate, which contains the issuer's public key, into the trusted root certification authority certificate store of the host computer. Intermediate or subordinate certification authorities are trusted only if they have a valid certification path from a trusted root certification authority.

Page 27: Troubleshooting
4 Troubleshooting This chapter provides solutions to problems commonly 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 which provides up to 54 Mbps data rate in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g is quickly becoming the next mainstream in wireless LAN technology for the home, office and public networks. - Page 28 database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 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 29 13. What is Spread Spectrum？ Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secured, 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.
