Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Product The 54M Wireless USB Module is a 4 Pins connector support USB 2.0 signaling module supporting IEEE 802.11b/g 2.4GHz radio operation. It provides high-speed wireless connection with data rate up to 54Mbps. Additionally, wireless roaming allows the user to move among different AP without losing the current connection. The adapter provides excellent security features including: TKIP, AES, WPA, and up to 128 bit WEP encryption security make the network almost impenetrable. 1.
Chapter 2 Installation Procedure 2.1 Software Installation 2.1.1 Overview The Adapter’s Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation procedure for Windows 98SE, Me, 2000 and XP. The Setup Wizard will guide you install the Utility and drivers.

● PSM (Power Save Mode) ►CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) – Continuous Access Mode. ► PSM (Power Saving Mode) - Power Saving mode. ● Network Type – Displays the wireless mode, either Ad-hoc or Infrastructure mode. ● Preamble – Specifies the preamble setting in 802.11b. The default setting is Auto Switch (access point mode), which allows both short and long headers in the 802.11b frames. The adapter can only use short radio headers if the access point supports and uses them. ● RTS Threshold – Default is 2312.
Figure 3-3 Add Profile – configuration ● Authentication Type – Three options, Open System, Shared-Key System or LEAP. ● 802.1x Setting – It enables when Authentication Type is setting to WPA. ● Encryption – Displays which encryption type that the driver is using. When you select Open System, Shared-Key System as Network Authentication, there are two options: WEP and None. If you select WPA-PSK as Network Authentication, there are TKIP and AES options instead of WEP and None.
● Status - Shows whether the station is connected to the wireless network, if not connected, display RF is closed; if connected, display AP name and BSSID. ● Extra Info - Shows link status and the current channel in use. ● Link Speed - Shows the current max Transfer rate, unit is Mbit/sec. ● Throughput - Displays Tx and Rx rate, unit is Kbits/sec. ● Link Quality - Shows the quality of the signal. ● Signal Strength - Shows the strength of the signal. 2.
2.6 Statistics The Statistics tab as Figure 3-6 shows receiving and transmitting statistical information for the following receive and transmit diagnostics for frames received by or transmitted to the wireless network adapter. Click the Reset Counter button to reset the count of the statistics information.

Appendix B: Glossary * 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless product networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as Wi-Fi networks. * 802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.
louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS). * SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network.
