Set the Network Type

From the Main Menu, click the Configuration tab, go to Network Type and click the down arrow

at the right of the Network Type field. You will then see 2 network types for the 802.11g Wireless

LAN PC Card to operate. If you need to access company network or Internet via Access Point,

select “Infrastructure”. If standard “802.11 Ad Hoc” is selected, you need to set wireless stations

with the same SS ID.

Set the SSID

The SSID is the unique ID used by Access Points and stations to identify a wireless LAN. Wireless

clients associating to any Access Point must have the same SSID. The default setting is ANY, which

allows your Wireless LAN PC Card to automatically associate to any Access Point (Infrastructure

mode) in the vicinity of your wireless adapter. The SSID can be set up to 32 characters and is case

sensitive.

Set the Channel (for Ad-Hoc network)

To form AdHoc network, the same channel is required. Before choosing a channel, it is advised to

use the Site Survey tool to check the quality of each channel. Afterwards, go to the Channel field

and choose a clear channel for your wireless LAN stations. Click the Apply button to make the

change take effect.

Set the Encryption:

To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the

Wireless LAN Card offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent

Privacy). The Encryption tab allows you enable encryption and set the encryption keys, making

your data transmission over the air more secure. To activate the WEP Encryption, go to the

Configuration tab and check the WEP Enabled check box. An Encryption window will then

appear. The instructions are as follows:

From the WEP encryption item, pull down the menu and it will list two methods to set the

WEP keys, as described below:
