Wireless LAN Basics

Wireless LAN (Local Area Networks) systems offer a great number of advantages over a traditional, wired system. Wireless LANs (WLANs) are more flexible, easier to setup and manage and often more cost effective than their wired equivalents. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through simplified configuration, enable movable LANs. With wireless LANs, users can access shared information without looking for a place to plug in and network managers can set up or augment networks without installing or moving wires. Wireless LANs offer the following productivity, convenience and cost advantages over traditional wired networks:

MobilityWireless LAN systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization. This mobility supports productivity and service opportunities not possible with wired networks. Installation Speed and SimplicityInstalling a wireless LAN system can be fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Installation FlexibilityWireless technology allows the network to go where wires cannot go. Reduced Cost-of-OwnershipWhile the initial investment required for wireless LAN hardware might be higher than the cost of wired LAN hardware, overall installation expenses and life-cycle costs will be significantly lower. Long-term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments requiring frequent moves, adds, and changes. ScalabilityWireless LAN systems can be configured in a variety of topologies to meet the needs of specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer to full infrastructure networks, also allow roaming over a broad area.

A red icon may also indicate a poor connection between the Wireless LAN PCI Adapter and an access point.

Configuring the Wireless PCI Adapter

Click the tabs to navigate through the configuration settings:

Link Status
Statusused to display the current status of connection. When the state shows Connected to SSID the card is operating normally in Infrastructure mode--the computer is connected to an access point and networking is available. Scanningthe node is searching for an available access point and is unable to detect the SSID (sometimes referred to as ESSID) for an available access point within range. This field will also display an error message if the driver failed to initialize. Network Type Infrastructure Modethe driver scans all available channels continuously until it finds one or more Access Points that matches its SSID. At that point it tries to authenticate and associate with the Access Point. Ad Hoc Modethe driver scans for 5 seconds looking for an existing Ad Hoc network using the same SSID. Current Channel and Transmit Rateshows the channel of the radio and the transmit rate that is being currently used for an active connection. This value has no meaning whenthe radio is Scanning

Link Qualityactive when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graph displays the quality of the link between the node and Access Point. It summarizes the quality of the link over the bar graph, which can take on one of the following values: Poor Fair Good Very Good Excellent Signal Strengthactive when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graph displays normalized signal strength as reported by the radio, averaged over all frames over 100 bytes long that are received from the Access Point.

Connections
The Connections Tab shows the current status of available APs or Ad-Hoc channels within the network.

You may select a profile or SSID from above the list, click Connect to connect with the AP. Click Refresh to rescan the network with the site survey function. It detects and lists all available APs within the network. Place a check mark in the field if you wish to Attempt Auto-connect to any network in range.

Profile Setting

Click the Edit button to edit the selected profile. Click the Delete button if you wish to delete selected profiles. Profile Name the name of the profile or group of setting used to connect with a particular network. The name is for your benefit and can consist of up to 48 characters. SSID Service Set Identifier may also be referred to as a Network Name because it is the name that identifies a wireless network service set. The SSID you enter must match the network SSID on the access point in infrastructure mode or the other devices in Ad Hoc mode in order to connect. Network Typeallows you to select from a list of supported Network Modes. The two modes displayed will be: Ad Hoc or Infrastructure. Ad Hocthe IEEE 802.11 peer-to-peer mode of operation. In 802.11Ad Hoc only one wireless cell is supported for each different SSID. All communication is done from Client to Client without the use of an Access Point. 802.11 Ad Hoc networking uses the same SSID for establishing the wireless connection over the selected channel. Infrastructurethis mode of operation requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point, which relays packets to other wireless Clients in the Access Point's Basic Service Set (BSS) as well as to nodes on a wired network such as Ethernet. Transmit Raterate at which the client of an AP transmits the data packets. You may set this to fixed 1Mbps, fixed 2 Mbps, fixed 5.5 Mbps, fixed 11 Mbps, and/or Auto (tries 11Mbps and falls back to lower rates). Encryption (WEP)additional measure of security on your wireless network which can be achieved by using WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. When an encrypted frame is received it will only be accepted if it decrypts correctly. This happens only if the receiver has the WEP Key used by the transmitter. This panel allows the selection of none, 64-bit, or 128-bit encryption and the entry of up to four encryption keys according to the WEP function select. (This is also sometimes referred to as 40bit or 104-bit encryption) To be written to the driver and registry, each key must consist of either hexadecimal digits, which means that only digits 0-9 and letters A-F are valid entries, or alphanumeric. If entered incorrectly the program will not write keys to a driver. The key used must match exactly the key used by your access point or by other clients in Ad Hoc mode in order to connect.

About
The About tab shows the product version including the detail of Driver, Application and firmware version. Users must use this version number when reporting their problems to technical support.

Configuring Automatic Network Connections with Windows XP

Microsoft Windows XP provides a Wireless LAN Zero Configuration, which means that Windows XP recognizes the adapter and provides the necessary driver and configuration software instead of the Configuration Utility software provided with the adapter. If your station is within range of a Wireless LAN access point, Windows XP announces that one or more wireless networks are available and suggests that you click the Network icon to see a list of available networks.

To configure one or more wireless networks for auto connection, follow these steps: 1 Right-click the Network icon in the notification area at the bottom of the screen to display a popup menu. Click Open Network Connections. 2 Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon and click Properties in the Pop-up menu. Windows XP displays the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog. 3 Select the Wireless Networks tab. Notice that the wireless network that was present when you first inserted the wireless NIC is already listed. 4 To add another network to the list, click the Add button on the Wireless Networks tab to display the Wireless Network Properties dialog. 5 Type a network name (SSID) in the Network name test box. 6 If you have implemented a system automatically providing users with network keys and/or WEP keys, click OK to save this network SSID and move on to the next network that you want to configure. 7 If you are setting up an ad hoc mode wireless connection, click the last check box in the dialog. Otherwise, if you are configuring a connection to an AP, leave the check box uncheck and click OK. Windows XP adds the network to the list of preferred networks in the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box. 8 When you finish adding all wireless networks to which your computer needs access, click OK. Note: XP includes support for the IEEE 802.1X standard for portlevel authentication of stations in the network. If for some reason you prefer to use the Configuration Utility that came with the Wireless LAN PCI Adapter with Windows XP, you should not use Windows to configure wireless network settings. Note: Only follow these steps if you wish to disable Windows XP Wireless LAN Zero Configuration. 1 2 Select START>CONTROL PANEL Double click NETWORK and INTERNET CONNECTIONS
