Create Keys with Passphrase

Choose this command when the associated wireless network uses a passphrase to create

WEP keys. Enter the passphrase string in the Passphrase filed to generate four encryption

keys in the Key fields above. Note that only letters A-F are valid for the Passphrase feature.

Note: When entering the passphrase here, ensure that you have specified an accurate type of the

Encryption (WEP security) above according to the associated agent’s configuration. Otherwise, the

inaccuracy will cause failure of performance.

After finish configuring the Encryption features, remember to click Apply to initiate the new

settings.

The Site Survey Tab

First of all, while entering this tab, please do choose the Rescan button to reinitiate the scanning

process and update the list. Later the result of scanning will be renewed and displayed. From the

offered information, you may learn the general information on the status of current scan lines,

including BSSID, SSID, signal strength, the channel number, WEP type, and network type.

In addition, to directly make an association with any site on the list, double-click the BSSID field of

the intended entry, and you will be led to the Status tab then.

The IBSS Tab

If you are communicating with other stations via the IBSS (802.11 Ad-hoc mode) to form

peer-to-peer networks, click the IBSS (Independent Basic Service Set) tab to specify an operating

radio frequency channel from the pull-down list under the IBSS Channel Selection field.

Note: Choosing the IBSS Channel command from the right-click menu of WLAN-54G USB Configuration

Tool tray icon will launch this tab too.

Note that the available channels differ from country to country, and the channel number must be

the same between the entries/stations within the range, so that they can communicate with each

other. Or you may simply click Defaults to automatically determine it with proper channel number.
