You can have multiple profiles and modify the profile at any time. SSID Network Type 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. This field displays the network type (Infrastructure or Ad Hoc) for user select. To form Ad-Hoc network, the same channel is required. Before choosing a channel, it is advised Ad-hoc Channel to use the Site Survey tool to check the quality of each channel.
Site Survey LABEL DESCRIPTION ESSID This field displays the SSID (Service Set IDentifier) of each wireless device. BSSID This field displays the MAC address of each wireless device. Channel This field displays the channel number used by each wireless device. Network Type This field displays the network type (Infrastructure or Ad Hoc) of the wireless device. Security Signal This field shows whether data encryption is activated (WEP (WEP or 802.
Site Survey LABEL Configuration Utility DESCRIPTION This field displays the utility version number of the wireless LAN adapter. Network Driver This field displays the driver version number of the wireless LAN adapter. NIC Firmware This field displays the firmware version number of the wireless LAN adapter. Quick Tips to Configure the IEEE 802.11n Wireless LAN PCI Adapter This Quick Start Guide covers the basic features needed to use the IEEE 802.11n Wireless LAN PCI Adapter.
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 IEEE 802.11n Wireless LAN PCI Adapter to operate. If you need to access wireless 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 SSID.
Wireless Mode: There are three Wireless Modes to be supported, 802.11B, 802.11B/G, and 802.11B/G/N. Power Save Mode: The Power Save option is designed to conserve battery life of you computer. When Power Save is enabled, your IEEE 802.11n Wireless LAN PCI Adapter will go into sleep mode to minimize power consumption.
Security Tab: Set the Authentication Mode: Open: If you require NO authentication, select “Open” since it allows any device to join a network without performing any security check. Shared: If you select “Shared” mode, make sure that WEP must be enabled and configured on both the access point and the client with a same key. WPA (2)-PSK: Allows you to gain access to a secured wireless network that the station and the access point use the same pre-shared key to authenticate.
If the Security you are configuring requires authentication, simply click the check box next to Enable IEEE802.1X authentication for this network and you can choose an EAP type. TLS: TLS requires the entry of Certificate Information and Login Information for mutual authentication.
PEAP: PEAP requires the use of certificates with Certification Authority server. You also need to input User Information and Login Information.
TTLS: LEAP requires the mutual authentication between station and access points. You must present a User Name and Password that will be verified by TTLS-capable RADIUS server. To save the information you entered in the appropriate field, click the OK button. Otherwise, click the Cancel button to close the menu. If you want to return to select other EAP type, click the Security tab.
