Package contents: 1x Wireless LAN USB Stick 300 Mbps 1x USB connection cable 1x driver CD-ROM 1x printed operating instructions Remark concerning the positioning: The connection quality depends strongly on the place or surroundings where you put up the WLAN device. Please ensure that the device or its antennae are neither covered nor built in. Use the enclosed USB extension cable for this purpose. We advise you against putting it up near metallic objects or other electric or radiant devices.

2. The configuration program – introduction and operation on Windows 2000/XP Open the Hama Configuration Program. To do so, click Start -> Programs -> Hama Wireless LAN -> Hama Wireless LAN Utility. If the program is already running in the background, you will find in the task bar at the bottom right of the screen: Click the circled symbol to open the utility from the task bar. The Hama Wireless LAN Utility starts with the following screen, whereby the values in the columns may be different.

2.2.1 Creating a new profile You need the following information to create a profile: • • • SSID (network ID): This is the name of the required network. Encryption used in the target network Network type (type of network): Infrastructure or ad-hoc There are two basic ways to create a profile: Version 1 : or Version 2 : Change to the Profile tab and click Add. Open the Network tab. All networks are listed in this tab. Select the required network in the list and click Add to profile.
PAGE 7
If your network uses encryption, switch to the Authentication and Security tab and continue configuration under Setting wireless LAN encryption. If your network is not encrypted, click OK to accept the settings. To activate the profile created, switch to the Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate. 2.2.2 Setting the wireless LAN encryption First, it is important to understand a range of terms.
PAGE 8
2.2.2.2 WPA/WPA2 encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP architecture, but offers additional protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible authentication protocol (EAP) for user authentication. However, a radius server is required for this. WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, advanced encryption standard (AES).

Click “Install (Win Vista).” The message “An unidentified program wants access to your computer” appears. Allow access by clicking “Allow”. Click -> Next in the next window “Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard…”. Continue with “Install” and connect the WLAN stick with your computer. Wait until the window “InstallShield Wizard completed” appears and finish with Finish. 3.1 WPS Automatic configuration Double-click the circled icon in the illustration to open the Hama Wireless LAN utility.
PAGE 10
Afterwards, you are mostly asked to enter the network security key. For reasons of safety, we advise you against using uncoded networks. Click “Connect” for confirmation. Windows establishes now the connection to the desired WLAN. Afterwards, you can store the network and start it automatically next time. The connection is so automatically established in future. Finish the configuration by clicking with the mouse “Close”. 3.
PAGE 11
Select Optain an IP address automatically and Optain DNS server address automatically, if there is a DHCP server in your network. Confirm by clicking OK, and again in the subsequent window. Your PC is now configured such that the router assigns the IP address automatically. If you do not have a device with an integrated DHCP server, you must assign the IP addresses manually. The following example describes basic setup using manual address assignment.

7. Configuring the operating system and computer on MAC OS X After you have installed the driver, you must configure the network environment in accordance with the new situation. To do so, proceed as follows. Click the Apple symbol in the upper menu bar and select the Environment menu item. Select the “Network” setting menu item. The following window opens. Click OK to confirm the message.
PAGE 13
The following window opens: This screen shows all available wireless networks. The SSID, which is used to identify WLAN devices in the respective wireless LAN, the router MAC address (BSSID), the signal strength (signal), the channel used (channel), the encryption algorithm (encryption) and the authentication (authentication) and the type of network (network type) are displayed. The lower section of this window shows the connection status (Connected / Disconnected).
PAGE 14
First enter a name for your profile (Profile name). Under SSID, select the network you want to connect to from the list of available networks. To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the stick in Power saving mode. In this mode, certain functions are deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select CAM (Constantly Awake Mode), if you want to run the stick at full power all the time. This Hama WLAN USB Stick allows you to set up two different network types.
PAGE 15
8.2.2.1 WEP encryption Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It both controls the access to the network and guarantees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable due to a range of weaknesses. If you want to use WEP encryption, select the following settings: Two options are available for the Authentication type under WEP. Select Open if all clients are to be enabled for WLAN. Now there is virtually no other authentication.
