Regulatory notes and statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety standards and recommendations.
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. Unpacking Open the box of the Pen Size Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: One 802.11g Pen Size Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter One Driver & Utility CD-ROM If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the Wireless USB 2.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION LED Indicator LNK (LINK) The LNK indicator lights green when the Wireless LAN is connected to a network successfully. Otherwise the LNK indicator blinks green while the Wireless USB Adapter is scanning the wireless device. Check the installation The LEDs of the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be seen instantly: 1.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. Windows 98se/ME/2000/XP Utility and Driver Installation 1. Insert the Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer’s CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility, for Win98se, please reboot the system to install the driver to the system properly.
5. You will see the icon on the Windows task bar when you finish the installation. When the icon in the toolbar represents in green color, it is properly connected to the network and if it represents in red color, then it is not connected to the network. Wireless Utility Setting With the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the Wireless Monitor Utility. Double-click the utility icon that appears in the taskbar.
Configuration The Configuration function helps you to configure the Network and the Security. Network: the setting of the Network mode, the SSID and the Channels. Network Mode: If you want to connect with an Access Point, please set to “Infrastructure” mode. If you have more stations and just want to set them as local network, please set the mode to “Ad-Hoc” mode.
Security: the setting of the Network Encryption. This function is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping. A secondary function of encryption is to prevent unauthorized access to a wireless network, and it can be achieved by using the Encryption function. Enable Encryption: Enable or Disable the WLAN encryption on the WLAN USB Adapter. Authentication Mode: Auto: Will automatically adjust to the Authentication mode of the WLAN USB Adapter.
WPA-PSK: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access pre-shared key) is a simpler version that does not support 802.1x and requires a separate RADIUS server for mutual authentication. Enter a Passphrase in the WPA-PSK dialog box. This Passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected to the wireless network.
WPA2-PSK: WPA-PSK2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access pre-shared key) is a simpler version that does not support 802.1x and requires a separate RADIUS server for mutual authentication. Enter a Passphrase in the WPA2-PSK dialog box. This Passphrase must be the same on each computer that is connected to the wireless network. It is recommended to select “Auto” if you are not familiar with the setting. Encryption Mode: There are two kinds of encryption mode, WEP encryption and WPAPassphrase..
Key Length, Key Format and WEP Key: If you select 64bit in Hex format, you must type 10 values in the following range (0~F, hexadecimal), or 64bit in ASCII format, you must type 5 values in the following range (0~9, A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric). If you select 128bit in Hex format, you must type 26 values (0~F, hexadecimal), or 128bit in ASCII format, you must type 13 values in the following range (0~9, A~Z and a~z Alphanumeric). Be sure that the USB Adapter and the wireless station were set in the same key.
Preamble Type: The usage of the preamble is to limit the packet size of the data to transmit. It is recommended to choose the short preamble when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost. The Default is Auto which access short and long preamble. Fragment Threshold: Fragmentation Threshold is a way of transmitting the packets that will be fragmented. Choose a setting within a range of 256 to 2432 bytes.
Profile The Profile section allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile. Type a name in the Profile Name field to create a profile, click “Save” and then click “Apply” when a profile is done. You can click “Delete” if the profile is no longer used, to activate other profile, choose a profile name in the Profile Name field and click Activate.
Network The screen shows all the Wireless devices around your Wireless Adapter.
