Wireless Mode: AP support wireless mode. IT may support, 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n wireless mode.
Î Issue a rescan command to wireless NIC to update information on surrounding wireless network. Î Add the selected AP to Profile setting. It will bring up profile page and save user’s setting to a new profile. [Connected Network] (1) When RaUI first ran, it will select the best AP to connect automatically. (2) If user wants to connect to other AP, He can click “Connect: button for the intended AP to make connection.
Enable Tx Burst: Ralink’s proprietary frame burst mode. Enable TCP Windows Size: Enhance throughout. Fast Roaming at: Fast to roaming, setup by transmit power. Select your Country Region Code: The available channel differs from different countries. For example: USA (FCC) is channel 1-11, Europe (ETSI) is channel 1-13. The operating frequency channel will be restricted to the country user located before importing.
Figure 2: Country Channel list Show Authentication Status Dialog: When you connect AP with authentication, choose whether show “Authentication Status Dialog” or not. Authentication Status Dialog display the process about 802.11x Authentication. Enable CCX (Cisco Compatible eXtensions): support Cisco Compatible Extensions function. Î LEAP turn on CCKM Î Enable Radio Measurement: can channel measurement every 0~2000 milliseconds.
3.1.5 Statistics Statistics page displays the detail counter information based on 802.11 MIB counters. This page translates the MIB counters into a format easier for user to understand. [Transmit Statistics] Frames Transmitted Successfully: Frames successfully sent. Frames Fail To Receive ACK After All Retries: Frames failed transmit after hitting retry limit. RTS Frames Successfully Receive CTS: Successfully receive CTS after sending RTS frame.
Î Show the information of Status Section Î Hide the information of Status Section 3.1.6 WMM WMM function involves “WMM Enable”, “WMM-Power Save Enable” and “DSL Setup”. WMM Enable: Enabe Wi-Fi Multi-Media. WMM-Power Save Enable: Enable WMM Power Save. Direct Link Setup Enable: Enable DLS (direct Link Setup). [WMM Enable – Enable Wi-Fi Multi-Media] If you want to use “WMM-Power Save” or “Direct Link Setup” you must enable WMM.
[WMM-Power Save Enable – Enable WMM Power Save] Step 1: Click “WMM-Power Save Enable” Step 2: Please select which ACs you want to enable. The setting of enabling WMM-Power Save is successfully.
[Direct Link Setup Enable – Enable DLS (Direct Link Setup)] Step 1: Click “Direct Link Setup Enable” Step 2: Change to “Network” function. And add an AP that supports DLS features to a Profile. The result will look like the below figure in Profile page.
The Setting of DLS indicates as follow: (1) Fill in the blanks of Direct Link with MAC address of STA. The STA must conform to 2 conditions as follow: Î Connect with the same AP that support DLS features. Î Have to enable DLS (2) Timeout Value represent that it disconnect automatically after some seconds.
integer. The integer must be between 0~65535. It represents that it always connects if the value is zero. Default value of Timeout Value is 60 seconds. (3) Click “Apply” button. The result will look like the below figure. Describe “DLS Status” as follow: (1) As the up figure, after configuring DLS successfully, show MAC address of the opposite side and Timeout Value of setting in “DLS Status”. In “DLS Status” of the opposite side, it shows MAC address of itself and Timeout Value of setting.
“Direct Link Setup”. Step 2: Double-Click and the result will look like the below figure. (3) Disconnect Direct Link Setup as follow: Step 1: Select a direct link STA. Step 2: Click “Tear Down” button. The result will look like the below figure.

configuration setup using PIN configuration method or PBC configuration method through an internal or external Registrar. WPS AP List: Display the information of surrounding APs with WPS IE from last scan result. List information includes SSID, BSSID, Channel, ID (Device Password ID), Security-Enabled. Rescan: Issue a rescan command to wireless NIC to update information on surrounding wireless network. Information: Display the information about WPS IE on the selected network.
[WPS Information on AP] WPS information contain authentication type, encryption type, config methods, device password ID, selected registrar, state, version, AP setup locked, UUID-E and RF bands. Authentication Type: There are three types of authentication modes supported by RaConfig. There are Open, Shared, WPA-PSK, and WPA system. Encryption Type: For Open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption are None and WEP.
Device Password ID: Indicate the method or identifies the specific password that the selected Registrar intends to use. AP in PBC mode must indicate 0x0004 within two-minute Walk time. Selected Registrar: Indicate if the user has recently activated a Registrar to add an Enrollee. The values are “TRUE” and “FALSE” State: The current configuration state on AP. The value are “Unconfigured” and “Configured”. Version: WPS specified version. AP Setup Locked: Indicate if AP has entered a setup locked state.
3.1.9 Link Status Link Status displays the detail information current connection Status: Current connection status. If no connection, it will show Disconnected. Otherwise, the SSID and BSSID will show here. Extra Info: Display link status in use. Channel: Display current channel in use. Authentication: Authentication mode in use. Encryption: Encryption type in use. Network Type: Network type in use. IP Address: IP address about current connection. Sub Mask: Sub Mast about current connection.
