20 Additional Note for Windows XP In Windows XP, it is recommended that you use the WLAN a+b+g mini-PCI Module Configuration Utility. Before using the Utility, please follow the steps below to disable the Windows XP Zero Configuration: Option 1: 1. Double click the shortcut icon to open the Utility. 2. From the Windows System Tray, you should see the signal icon. Right-click it and select “Disable Zero-Configuration”. Option 2: 1. Go to “Control Panel” and double click “Network Connections”. 2. Right-click “Wireless Network Connection” of “WLAN a+b+g mini-PCI Module”, and select “Properties”. 3. Select “Wireless Networks” tab, and uncheck the check box of “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”, and then click “OK”. 21 4. Creating an Ad Hoc New Network 1. In the Configuration window, click New . 2. Select the “Profile Editor” tab. 22 3. Choose the check box of Enable Advanced Setting to edit all settings. 4. If joining or creating an Ad-Hoc network, choose Ad Hoc. 5. If the correct country is not selected, select the country where the computer is located. ALERT! Different countries have different regulations that affect which channels can be used. You should always choose the country where you are physically located to avoid using an illegal channel. 6. Click OK (or Apply if using the other tabs) to save the settings. For details of each setting, refer to Modifying a Wireless Network on page 20. 7. Click the Security tab. If not using security, select None. 8. If security is used, select Pre-Shared Key and click on the Configure button. 23 9. Enter an encryption key in the Shared: First field. 10. Click OK (or Apply if using the other tabs) to save the settings. The new Network Name is listed in the Profile List. The driver does not allow channel selection in Ad-Hoc mode. Instead, the driver starts with an initial channel then checks channel status. If the channel is busy, the driver automatically uses a different channel. For details of each setting, please see chapter 5. 24 5. Modifying a Wireless Network 5.1 Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode You can set the Wireless Network Adapter to work in either Infrastructure mode or Ad Hoc mode. Infrastructure Mode In infrastructure mode, devices communicate with each other by first going through an Access Point (AP). Wireless devices can communicate with each other or can communicate with a wired network. When one AP is connected to wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is referred to as a BSS (Basic Service Set). Ad Hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode is also called “peer-to-peer mode” or “Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS)”. In ad hoc mode, devices communicate directly with each other without using an Access Point (AP). 25 5.2 Modifying a Wireless Network 1. Open “WLAN a+b+g mini-PCI Module Configuration” by double clicking the shortcut icon on the desktop. Note! If there’s no network name listed in the “Profile List”, click Refresh button and double click a Network Name from Available Networks. The chosen Network Name is listed in the Profile List. 2. From the Profile List, select one Profile and click Modify button . 26 3. Select Profile Editor tab and edit the settings. Click OK to save the modifications. n Configuration Name: This name identifies the configuration. This name should be unique. n Network Name (SSID1) (SSID2) (SSID3): The name of the wireless network. This name cannot be longer than 32 characters. If the field is set to be “ANY” or is left blank, your computer will connect to an AP with the best signal strength. n Network Connection: Specifies the mode of the network. Two options are “Infrastructure” and “Ad Hoc”. n Power Saving: Minimizes power consumption while maintaining network connectivity and high data transfer performance. In Ad Hoc mode, Power Savings function cannot be enabled. The power management options are: • Off: PC Card is powered up at all times. • Normal: PC Card sleeps less often and stays asleep for a shorter period. • Maximum: PC Card sleeps more frequently and stays asleep as much as possible. n Wireless Mode: Three options are “802.11b”, “802.11a”, “802.11g” 27 n Ad Hoc Net Start: Specifies a band to establish an Ad Hoc network if no matching SSID is found. three options are available: 802.11b, 802.11a, and 802.11g. n 802.11b Range: Options are Normal Range and Extended Range. This function can let user to determine the transfer range in 802.11b mode. Extended Range can prolong the transfer range with a lower data transmitting rate. n Scan Mode: Options are Active Scan, Passive Scan and Auto. In Active Scan, the driver sends out the probe request frames from each channel and collects the response frames from the responding. In Passive Scan, the driver scan each requested channel, listening the beacons on each channel. n Transmit Power: This setting allows you to change the output power of the PC Card to increase or decrease the coverage area,but can not exceed the authorized max. power output. n QoS: Disables or enables the PC Card to cooperate in a network using QoS (Quality of Service). n Country: Select the country where this PC Card will operate. ALERT! Different countries have different regulations that affect which channels can be used. You should always choose the country where you are physically located to avoid using an illegal channel.(When this product sells to US, client will disable the other frequency of outside USA) n 2.4 GHz Preamble: Allows Ad-Hoc compatibility with other 2.4 GHz devices. Two options are Short and Long and Long only. Use Long Only when configuring the client for an 802.11b RoamAbout AP wireless network. 28 4. Select Security tab and choose the security mode. Note! Check with your Network Administrator for the security features supported by your AP. n WPA: Enables the use of WiFi protected Access (WPA). This option requires IT administration. a) Select WPA to open the WPA EAP drop-down menu. The options includes TLS and PEAP. b) Click on the Configure bu…
