SOFTWARE INSTALLATION Install the Driver & Utility Caution! Do not insert the wireless card into your computer until the InstallShield Wizard finish installing. 1. Exit all Windows programs. Insert the included CD-ROM into your computer. The CD-ROM will run automatically. 2. When the License Agreement screen appears, please read the contents and select “I accept the terms of the license agreement “ then click Next to continue.
3. Select the check box to choose a Configuration Tool from the listed two choices. z Configuration Tool: Choose to use our configuration utility. z Microsoft Zero Configuration Tool: Choose to use Windows XP’s built-in Zero Configuration Utility (ZCU). Click Next to continue. 4. There are two modes for you to choose in this screen, either choose WiFi mode or performance mode (TxBurst mode).
5. When you are prompted the following message, please click Install to begin the installation.
6. When the following screen appears, click Finish to complete the software installation.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION Note: Insert the Wireless USB card when you finished your software installation. Windows 2000/ XP Locate your USB host and insert the USB Adapter. The system will automatically detect the new hardware. Verification To verify if the device exists in your computer and is enabled, go to Start > Control Panel > System (> Hardware) > Device Manager. Expand the Network Adapters category. If the 802.
NETWORK CONNECTION Once the device driver is well installed, a network setting described in the following should be also established. In Windows 2000/ XP 1. (In Windows 2000) Go to Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel Æ Network and Dial-up Connections Æ Local Area Connection Æ Properties. (In Windows XP) Go to Start Æ Control Panel Æ Network and Internet Connections Æ Network Connection Æ Wireless Network Connection Æ Properties.
2. Make sure that all the required components are installed. 3. If any components are missing, click on the Install… button to select the Client/Service/Protocol required. After selecting the component you need, click Add… to add it in. 4. For making your computer visible on the network, make sure you have installed File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks.
IP Address Note: When assigning IP Addresses to the computers on the network, remember to have the IP address for each computer set on the same subnet mask. If your Broadband Router use DHCP technology, however, it won’t be necessary for you to assign Static IP Address for your computer. 1. To configure a dynamic IP address (i.e. if your broadband Router has the DHCP technology), check the Obtain an IP Address Automatically option. 2.
CONFIGURATION UTILITY After the Wireless adapter has been successfully installed, users can use the included Configuration Utility to set their preference. Go to StartJ (All) ProgramJ Intelligent WirelessJ Intelligent Wireless Utility. You can also open the Configuration Utility by double clicking the icon or right clicking to select Launch Config Utilities.

activated if the data size exceeds the value you set. This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended. Fragment Threshold: User can adjust the Fragment threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. The default value is 2346. The mechanism of Fragmentation Threshold is used to improve the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network.
• Open: If your access point/wireless router is using "Open” authentication, then the wireless adapter will need to be set to the same authentication type. • Shared: Shared Key is when both the sender and the recipient share a secret key. • LEAP: Light Extensible Authentication Protocol. It is an EAP authentication type used primarily in Cisco Aironet WLANs. It encrypts data transmissions using dynamically generated WEP keys, and supports mutual authentication (only with CCX mode enabled.
802.1x Setting: When user use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode. 802.1x tab: EAP Method: • PEAP: Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN. • TLS / Smart Card: Transport Layer Security.
authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent communications between the WLAN client and the access point. • TTLS: Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side certificates. • EAP-FAST: Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. It was developed by Cisco.
ID\PASSWORD tab: ID/ PASSWORD: Identity and password for server. • Authentication ID / Password: Identity, password and domain name for server. Only "EAP-FAST" and "LEAP" authentication can key in domain name. Domain name can be keyed in blank space. • Tunnel ID / Password: Identity and Password for server. Show Password: Check this box to show the password you entered. OK: Click to save settings and exit this page. Cancel: Click to call off the settings and exit.
Server Certification tab: Use Certificate chain: Choose use server that issuer of certificates.
