Chapter 3 Wireless Connection Guide  
This chapter describes how to configure your Adapter for wireless connectivity on  
your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security encryption  
features.  
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon will appear in your system tray. It  
appears at the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength using color and  
the received signal strength indication (RSSI).  
- If the icon is purple, there is no connection.  
- If the icon is white, the network is dropping off.  
- If the icon is green, there is good signal strength.  
- If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength.  
In the following instruction for making a network connection, we use the provided  
Utility to configure your wireless network settings.  
Note: You could use either the software we provide or Microsoft Zero Configuration  
tool to configure this adapter.  
3.1 Connecting with Microsoft Zero Configuration tool (Win XP)  
After specifying the Microsoft Zero Configuration tool to configure your wireless  
network, right click on the  
icon on system tray. Select “View Available Wireless  
Networks” to specify your wireless network.  
The tool shows the available wireless networks. Select your demanding network to  
connect with. To connect to a wireless network, please click Change advanced  
settings to be compatible with your wireless network settings.

FAQ  
This chapter provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation  
and operation of the Wireless USB Adapter. Read the descriptions below to solve your  
problems.  
1. I cannot communicate with the other computers linked via Ethernet  
in the Infrastructure configuration.  
Make sure that the PC to which the Adapter is associated is powered on.  
Make sure that your Adapter is configured on the same channel and with the  
same security options as with the other computers in the Infrastructure  
configuration.  
2. What should I do when the computer with the Adapter installed is  
unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet?  
Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating  
normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the broadband connection.  
Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning properly.  
If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are firmly connected.  
Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are  
correctly entered for the network.  
In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is  
specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points.  
In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID.  
Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a BSS  
(Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients. This prevents  
several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result  
in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with  
36

multiple clients associated to it.  
Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured  
properly.  
If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on  
both the Adapter and the access point.

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 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE  
802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security.  
802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO  
(multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver  
antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and  
increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding  
schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) was  
formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a  
technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area  
networking (WLAN) products.  
Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a  
Wireless Adapter, connected as an independent 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc  
wireless computers operate on a peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with  
each other without the use of an access point. Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as  
an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer mode, and is useful  
at a departmental scale or SOHO operation.  
DSSS - (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) - DSSS generates a redundant bit  
pattern for all data transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code).  
38

Wireless N Adapter RNX-N180PCe  
User Manual  
Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical  
techniques embedded in the receiver can recover the original data without the  
need of retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power  
wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers.  
However, to an intended receiver (i.e. another wireless LAN endpoint), the DSSS  
signal is recognized as the only valid signal, and interference is inherently  
rejected (ignored).  
FHSS - (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) - FHSS continuously changes  
(hops) the carrier frequency of a conventional carrier several times per second  
according to a pseudo-random set of channels. Because a fixed frequency is not  
used, and only the transmitter and receiver know the hop patterns, interception of  
FHSS is extremely difficult.  
Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or  
other devices, each with a Wireless Adapter, connected as an 802.11 wireless  
LAN. In infrastructure mode, the wireless devices communicate with each other  
and to a wired network by first going through an access point. An infrastructure  
wireless network connected to a wired network is referred to as a Basic Service  
Set (BSS). A set of two or more BSS in a single network is referred to as an  
Extended Service Set (ESS). Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale,  
or when it is necessary to connect the wired and wireless networks.  
SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum)  
alphanumeric key identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless  
devices in a network to communicate with each other, all devices must be  
configured with the same SSID. This is typically the configuration parameter for a  
wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access Point and  
to the wireless network name. See also Wireless Network Name and ESSID.

WEP - (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit  
or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11  
standard. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a  
string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the  
level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit  
encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by  
entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F) or ASCII  
(American Standard Code for Information Interchange – alphanumeric  
characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is  
easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the  
network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.
