If the icon is in red, it means that Wireless LAN 11 Mbps NIC configuration is invalid or incomplete. Sometimes icon can be colored in red.
Wireless LAN Status Link Status The field shows associated to available AP with BSSID, MAC ID of USB. When the state is “Associated “ means normal flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access point. BSSID is shown in the form of hex digits. Networking is available. Tx/Rx Rate Information This display the instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit bytes per second. These values are updated every two seconds.
Wireless LAN “CONFIGURATION” tab The Configuration Tab contains several fields where operating parameters of the driver can be viewed or changed. Changes to any of the parameters in this panel can be applied to the driver without the need to reboot the PC. Figure 3 Management window with "CONFIGURATION" tab open Station ESS ID Extended Service Set Identifier (Wireless Network Identifier) is the group name that will be shared by every member of your wireless network.
Wireless LAN Network Mode This field allows you to select from a list of supported Network “Modes”. The modes displayed will have two values: “ Ad Hoc”, and “Infrastructure”. Ad Hoc - This is the 802.11 peer-to-peer mode of operation. In 802.11Ad Hoc only one wireless “cell” is supported for each different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client without the use of an Access Point. 802.11 Ad Hoc networking use the same SSID for establishing the wireless connection.
Wireless LAN “ENCRYPTION” tab Figure 4 Management window with “Encryption” tab open You may desire an additional measure of security on your wireless network, which can be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using one of the Keys entered from this panel. When an encrypted frame is received it will only be accepted if it decrypts correctly. This will only happen if the receiver has the WEP Key used by the transmitter.
Wireless LAN - Key 1 – Key 4 These four fields can be used to manually enter the keys. This may be necessary if you wish this node to match keys in a different vendor’s product. Mode Mandatory: The WEP encryption will be used, and other station also needs to use WEP encryption in order to establish a communication with your station. This mode is required to compliant with the IEEE 802.11b standard.
Wireless LAN “ABOUT” tab Figure 5 Management window with "ABOUT" tab open About tab shows the product version including the detail of Driver, Configuration Utility, and NIC firmware version. Users must use this version number when reporting their problems to tech support.
