Instruction Manual 2. Quick Start 2.1 Installation and Device Connection Install the CD-ROM software driver before you plug in the USB adapter to you PC or laptop computer. This avoids the USB adapter being recognized by another existing WiFi software driver which might not be fully compatible with the original software driver. Before making any device and cable connection to the computer, you have to install the CD software driver and utility from fresh.
Instruction Manual 1. Scanning the WiFi Signal – A Quick Guide 1.1 RALINK WIRELESS UTILITY (RaUI) OR WINDOWS ZERO CONFIGURATION (WZC) As the title suggests, two types of wireless utilities are possible. The Windows Zero Configuration provides the basic wireless networking configuration whose user interface is consistent across various Windows Operating Systems from XP, VISTA to Windows 7; and the more sophisticated RaLink Wireless Utility with the WPA supplicant functionality.
Instruction Manual 1.2.
Instruction Manual Right click the Network Connection icom in the task bar, and select “View Available Wireless Networks: A new window pops up showing the list of AP available for connection. You may either double click the AP or highlight it with the mouse pointer followed by clicking “Connect Anyway”.
Instruction Manual DN-WLAN-028 Page 8
Instruction Manual If you want to update the AP attributes, click “Change Advanced Settings”. Then choose the “Wireless Networks”.
Instruction Manual 1.3 Working with RaUI When RaUI is active, a small RaUI icon appears at the lower right hand corner of the screen. Click on it to bring up the RaUI main window and you may see a list of AP picked up by the antenna. Each row contains the SSID, network type, channel used, wireless mode, security status and signal strength.
Instruction Manual Simply highlight the AP and click “Connect”. If the AP is encrypted, you shall then be asked to enter the password for authentication. Once connected, a small blue arrow appears on the left of the AP. How does the RaUI icon represent the various network statuses? Here are the clues: Connected and signal strength is Good. Connected and signal strength is Normal. Not Connected. Wireless NIC not detected. Connected but signal strength is Weak.
Instruction Manual 2. Advanced RaUI Features Consists of: PROFILE NETWORK ADVANCED STATISTICS WMM WPS RADIO ON/OFF 2.1 PROFILE A place to save your favorite wireless networks for one-click connection. Profile Name: Default is PROF1 SSID: AP or Ad-Hoc name Network Type: Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc Authentication: Open, WPA/PSK, WPA2/PSK Encryption: None, WEP, AES, TKIP USB802.
Instruction Manual 2.1.1 Example to Add a PROFILE Click “Add” under PROFILE The Add Profile page will then pop up.
Instruction Manual The default Profile Name is PROF1 which you may change to a different name. Now move the mouse to the SSID pull down menu and select the AP from an active list.
Instruction Manual Suppose that you have chosen AP1 to save the profile, you could now highlight it and click “Activate” to connect.

Instruction Manual 2.2 Network A list of AP picked up by the antenna. SSID: Name of Wireless Network Network Type: Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc Channel: Specific Channel in use Wireless Mode: 802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n Security-Enable: The type of Encryption in use Signal: Strength in %. To connect to an AP, simply highlight it, followed by clicking the “Connect” button.
Instruction Manual 2.2.1 Network – General The General information contains AP’s SSID, MAC address, authentication type, encryption type, channel, network type, beacon interval, signal strength and supported rates (Mbps). The Beacon Interval specifies the duration between beacon packets. Access Points broadcast Beacons or Traffic Indication Messages (TIM) in order to synchronize wireless networks. The default setting of 100 should be ideal for most situations.
Instruction Manual 2.2.2 Network – WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for easy and secure establishment of a wireless home network, created by the Wi-Fi Alliance and officially launched on January 8, 2007. The goal of the WPS protocol is to simplify the process of configuring security on wireless networks, and so it was first named 'Wi-Fi Simple Config'.
Instruction Manual Device Password ID – This indicates the method or indentifies password that the selected Registrar intends to use. AP in PBC mode must indicate 0x0004 within two minutes. Value 0x0000 0x0001 0x0002 0x0003 0x0004 0x0005 0x0006-0x000F Description Default (PIN) User-specified Rekey Display Push Button (PBC) Registrar-specified Reserved Selected Registrar – This indicates if the user has recently activated a Registrar to add an Enrollee. The values are “TRUE” and “FALSE”.
Instruction Manual 2.3 ADVANCED Wireless Mode – default with 802.11b/g/n mix at 2.4GHz Enable Tx Burst: RaLink’s proprietary frame burst mode. Enable TCP Window Size – Select to enhance throughput under a low-noise environment. Fast Roaming at: The threshold of Tx power to switch from one AP to another. Select Your Country Code – Eight countries to choose. Default at 0: CH1-11. (the 11A box shows up only for A/B/G adapter). Enable CCX (Cisco Compatible Extension) - On/Off.
Instruction Manual 2.4 STATISTICS The statistics page displays the detail counter information based on 802.11 MIB counters. 2.4.1 Transmit Statistics Frames Transmitted Successfully – Frames successfully sent. Frames Fail To Receive ACK After All Retries – Frames failed transmit after reaching the retry limit. RTS Frames Successfully Receive CTS – Successfully receive CTS after sending RTS frame. RTS Frames Fail To Receive CTS – Failed to receive CTS after sending RTS.
Instruction Manual 2.4.2 Receive Statistics Frames Received Successfully – Frames received successfully. Frames Received With CRC Error – Frames received with CRC error. Frames Dropped Due To Out-of-Resource – Frames dropped due to resource issue. Duplicate Frames Received – Duplicate received frames. Reset Counter – Back to zero. 2.5 WWM WWM Enable – Enable to handle the QoS (Quality of Service) latency sensitive WiFi Multimedia (Audio, Video) traffic.
Instruction Manual Power Save Enable – Enable WWM power saving in accordance to the various Multimedia IP traffic. AC_BK – Backgound (Latency insensitive) IP traffic, AC_BE – Best effort (Low latency) IP traffic. AC_VI – Video (real time) IP traffic. AC_VO – Voice (real time) IP traffic. Enable Link Setup (DLS) Enable – This allows secured connection to an AP supporting DLS. Simply enter the MAC address in the box which is also registered in the AP. The timeout value ranges from 0 to 65536 seconds.
Instruction Manual 2.6 WPS WPS Configuration – The primary goal of WiFi Protected Setup (WiFi Simple Configuration) is to simplify the security setup and management of WiFi networks. Ralink STA as an Enrollee or external Registrar supports the 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.
Instruction Manual Information – Display the information about WPS IE on the selected network. List information includes Authentication Type, Encryption Type, Config Methods, Device Password ID, Selected Registrar, State, Version, AP Setup Locked, UUID-E and RF bands. PIN Code – 8 digit numbers. It is required to enter PIN Code into Registrar using PIN method. When STA is Enrollee, you can use “Renew” button to regenerate a new PIN code.
Instruction Manual 2.7 CCX (Cisco Compatible eXtensions) CCX works with Cisco WiFi device. Consult Cisco proprietary protocols for Aironet 350 to fill in the corresponding value. 2.8 Radio On/OFF Toggles On/Off to temporally disable the adapter.
