2-2 Software Installation This wizard can be run in Windows 2000/XP/Vista. The following procedures are operated in Windows XP. You can install the Wireless Adapter by EZMAX Setup Wizard in the CD-ROM including in the package. The wizard is an easy and quick configuration tool for internet connection with series process. When you start EZMAX Setup Wizard, you will get the following welcome screen. Please choose the language to start the configuration.
2.2.1 Please execute ‘Edimax_xxxx_Setup.exe’ program to install your wireless adapter. Please read the end user license agreement and click ‘I accept the terms of the license agreement’ and ‘Next’ to accept license agreement. 2.2.2 You can choose the configuration tool used to configure the wireless network card here. It’s recommended to select ‘Edimax Configuration Tool’, which provides fully access to all function of this wireless network card.
2.2.3 Please select ‘Optimize for WiFi mode’ for wireless compatibility, then click ‘Next’. If you want to enhance wireless performance, please select ‘Optimize for performance mode’. However, wireless compatibility is not guaranteed in this mode.

2-3 Connect to Wireless Access Point After the driver is correctly installed, it will try to connect to any unencrypted wireless access point automatically. If you want to connect to a specific wireless access point, or the access point you wish to connect uses encryption, you have to configure the wireless network card and input required parameters, to get connected to the wireless access point you wish to connect.
2. Configuration utility will scan for all wireless access points automatically. Scan results will be displayed here, please check if the wireless access point with the SSID (the name of wireless access point) you preferred is shown here. If the wireless access point you wish to connect does not show here, please click ‘Rescan’ to try again, until the one you preferred is displayed. You may have to click ‘Rescan’ for more than two times before you can see the access point you wish to use here sometimes.
Here are descriptions of every setup item: SSID: The Service Set Identifier of wireless access point or other network device. You can think it as the name of access point of wireless device. BSSID: The MAC address of wireless access point or other network device. Unlike SSID, BSSID of every access point or network device is unique, and will not be the same with others. So you can identify a single access point or wireless device from others by BSSID, if they all have the same SSID.
Network Type: Shows the type of wireless connection. If it’s a wireless access point, ‘Infrastructure’ will be displayed here; if it’s a computer or network device, ‘AdHoc’ will be displayed here. Tips: Wireless access point (Infrastructure) is a network device which acts as a bridge, to let wired and wireless network devices communicate with each other. AdHoc is another connection type.
3. Click the wireless access point or network device you wish to connect, it will be highlighted, then click ‘Connect’. If the access point you selected does not enable encryption (The content of ‘Encryption’ field of the access point you selected is ‘None’, you’ll be connected to this wireless access point within one minute. Please jump to step 6. If the access point you selected enables encryption, please proceed to next step.
4. If the wireless access point does not have SSID, you’ll be prompted to input it here. Please ask the owner of wireless access point and input the exact SSID here, then click ‘OK’ when ready. If the SSID you provided here is wrong, you’ll not be able to connect to this access point. If the wireless access point you selected have SSID, please skip this step. 5. If the wireless access point uses encryption, you have to input WEP passphrase or WPA preshared key.
6.
2-3-2Using Windows Zero Configuration Windows XP and Vista has a built-in wireless network configuration utility, called as ‘Windows Zero Configuration’ (WZC).

4-3 Glossary 1. What is the IEEE 802.11g standard? 802.11g is the new IEEE standard for high-speed wireless LAN communications that provides for up to 54 Mbps data rate in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11g is quickly becoming the next mainstream wireless LAN technology for the home, office and public networks. 802.11g defines the use of the same OFDM modulation technique specified in IEEE 802.11a for the 5 GHz frequency band and applies it in the same 2.4 GHz frequency band as IEEE 802.11b. The 802.
4. What is Ad-hoc? An Ad-hoc integrated wireless LAN is a group of computers, each has a Wireless LAN card, Connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. 5. What is Infrastructure? An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. 6.
11. Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air? WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side, WLAN series offer the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security and Access Control. Users can set it up depending upon their needs. 12.
and voice applications. WMM is based on a subset of the IEEE 802.11e WLAN QoS draft standard. WMM adds prioritized capabilities to Wi-Fi networks and optimizes their performance when multiple concurring applications, each with different latency and throughput requirements, compete for network resources. By using WMM, end-user satisfaction is maintained in a wider variety of environments and traffic conditions.
