Page 18: 802.1X Setting-Certification
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. - Page 19 The EAP authentication protocols this card supports are listed below. This setting has to be consistent with the wireless APs or Routers that SP908GK 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.

Page 27: Troubleshooting
5 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 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). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID. 7.
- Page 29 receivers. 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.
