7. INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION

7.1. Installation

1. Start the computer

2. Insert 22Mbps driver CD into the CD-ROM

3. Select “PC Card/PCI Card”

4. Click “Install “ button.

5. Click “Next” button.

6. Click “Finish” button to restart computer.

7. Shut down the computer then insert MiniPCI Card into the MiniPCI slot of computer.

8. Restart computer

7.2. Configuration

1. Double Click “ ” icon in the right hand corner of the screen.

2. The window of “Link Information” show the current status of wireless mini PCI Card.

Link Info. Page

This is the default page when the utility starts up.

Status: Shows the BSSID associated, which can be used to identify the wireless network.

SSID: Shows current SSID, which must be the same for the wireless client and AP in order for communication to be established.

TxRate: Shows the current data rate used for transmitting.

Channel: Shows the current channel for communication.

Radio Off button: When clicked, you disable the radio signal, and cut-off the wireless connection.

Link Quality: Shows the link quality of the 22Mbps wireless Network PCI Adapter with the Access Point when operating under

Infrastructure mode.

Signal Strength: Shows the wireless signal strength of the connection between the 22mpbs wireless Network PCI Adapter with the

Access Point.

Data Rate: Shows the statistics of data transfer, and the calculation is based on the number of packets transmitted and received.

Configuration Page

This is the page where you can change the basic settings of the Access Point with the minimum amount of effort to adjust a secure

wireless network.

SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be

identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.

BSS Type: There are two types available for selection

zInfrastructure – to establish wireless communication with LAN and other wireless clients through the use the Access

Points.

zAd-Hoc – to establish point-to-point wireless communication directly with other wireless client devices such as

wireless network PCI Adapter.

Channel: The value of channel that AP will operate in. You can select the channel range of 1 to 11 for North America (FCC)

domain, 1 to 13 for European (ETSI) domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain.

Tx Rate: Select the data rate for data transmission.

Preamble: Select Long or Short Preamble type. Preamble is a sequence of bits transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry

to reach steady-state demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different preambles and headers are

defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and header, which interoperates with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification

(as described in IEEE Std 802.11), and an optional Short Preamble and header (as described in IEEE Std 802.11b). At the receiver,

the Preamble and header are processed to aid in demodulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be

used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only from

the IEEE 802.11b (High-Rate) standard and not from the original IEEE 802.11. That means that stations using Short-Preamble

cannot communicate with stations implementing the original version of the protocol.

Power Mode: There are 3 modes to choose from

zContinuous Access Mode (default) – the PCI Adapter is constantly operating with full power and it consumes the most

power

zMaximum Power Save – the PCI Adapter consumes the least power and only operates when there is wireless network

activity.

zPower Save – the PCI Adapter consumes the moderate level of power.

For the changes made to any of the items above to be effective, click “Apply”. The screen will be changed back to Link Info.

Page

Security Page

This is the page where you configure Security settings of your 22Mbps wireless PCI Adapter.

Data Encryption: Click the box to enable Data Encryption feature.

Aut. Mode: There are three modes available to choose from.

zOpen Authentication – the sender and receiver do not share secret Key for communication. Instead, each party

generates its own key-pairs and ask the other party to accept it. The key is regenerated when the connection is

established every time.

zShared Authentication – the sender and receiver shares the common key for data communication, and the key is used

for extended length of time.

zAuto – depend on the communication to establish, and automatically use the proper authentication mode.

The following will only be activated to allow for configuration when Data Encryption is enabled.

Default Key: select one of the 4 keys to use.

Network Key: enter values to these fields, either in HEX or ASCII formats. You only have to enter the key that you will use

Key Length: select 64, 128 or 256 bits as the length of the keys

Key Format: ASCII or HEX (Please refer to Appendix G: Glossary for details about these two formats).
