Page 18: Wep And Wpa Encryption
WEP and WPA Encryption WEP is a data encryption algorithm, which protects Wireless networks from outside intruders or “eavesdropping.” The second generation of WEP is WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) which combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. WPA provides higher security standards as well as the ability to authenticate each individual user for a more controlled and secure wireless environment. -
Page 19: Wpa Setting
Parameter Key1 ~ Key4 Change/Apply 3.1.2 WPA Setting The adapter can automatically detect the WPA settings of the AP which the adapter intends to connect to. To connect to the AP, you should match the same settings with the AP and the client. There are two kinds of WPA modes: WPA and WPA-PSK. - Page 20 Parameter Connect Information Protocol User Name Password Description It is the setting for WPA mode. This adapter supports two kind of protocol for authentication including TLS and PEAP. TLS and PEAP requires a certificate which is provided by the Certificate Server. PEAP requires a set of user name and password in addition.

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 5. What is Infrastructure？ An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 6. What is BSS ID？ A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS).
- Page 30 12. What is DSSS？What is FHSS？And what are their differences？ Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short-duration impulse noise.
