Before setting up the Wireless LAN Module for your wireless LAN, read through this section to understand the information
that you require to set up the equipment in your wireless LAN.
‰ Determine the network type
This Wireless LAN Module supports Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode.
Infrastructure Mode
Access Point
In the Infrastructure Mode, client computers can access to the equipment through a wireless network via an Access Point.
The Infrastructure Mode is suitable for the wireless network that many client computers are connected at the same time.
The Access Point will be required to establish the wireless network in the Infrastructure Mode.
Ad Hoc Mode
In the Ad Hoc Mode, client computers can access to the equipment directory through a wireless network without an
Access Point. The Ad Hoc Mode is not suitable for the wireless network that many computers are connected, however, it
is easy to establish the wireless network because the Access Point is not required.

‰ Determine the SSID
In the wireless network, the same SSID (Service Set ID) must be assigned in each wireless device. Only wireless devices
that have the same SSID assigned to them can communicate with each other through the wireless network.
In the Infrastructure Mode, the SSID is usually set in the Access Point. Therefore, you must set the same SSID in this
equipment to communicate through the wireless network via the Access Point.
In the Ad Hoc Mode, you must assign the same SSID that is assigned to other client computers. To access the devices
each other in the Ad Hoc Mode, the same SSID must be assigned to each device.
‰ Determine the security mode
This equipment supports the following wireless security modes.
WPA/WPA2/802.1X
Using the WPA/WPA2/802.1X, you can restrict the access to the wireless network using the RADIUS server. The WPA/
WPA2/802.1X is available only when the wireless network is established in the Infrastructure Mode.
There are two protocols for the WPA/WPA2/802.1X, EAP-TLS or PEAP.
When using the EAP-TLS authentication, you must install user certification file and CA certification file (must be either
DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7 encoding format) in the equipment. This equipment uses the user certification file (must be
exported as a private key in PKCS#12 encoding format) to authenticate the access rights to the wireless network, and the
RADIUS server authenticates this equipment using the user ID and password.
When using the PEAP, you must install the CA certification file (must be either DER, BASE64, or PKCS#7 encoding
format) in the equipment. This equipment uses the user name and password to authenticate the access rights to the
wireless network, and the RADIUS server authenticate this equipment using the CA certification file.

y For PEAP: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008
WPAPSK/WPA2PSK
WPAPSK/WPA2PSK is an authentication method using the PSK (Pre-Shared Key) between the Access Point and other
wireless devices. The WPAPSK/WPA2PSK authentication is available only when the wireless network is established in the
Infrastructure Mode.
To access the wireless network using the WPAPSK/WPA2PSK authentication, the same PSK Path Phrase must be
assigned in both the Access Point and other wireless devices. If the PSKs are same between the Access Point and other
wireless devices, the Access Point allows them to access the wireless network through the Access Point.
WPAPSK/WPA2PSK has stronger security than WEP because the data encryption is improved over WEP. This equipment
supports TKIP and AES (CCMP) encryption for the WPAPSK/WPA2PSK authentication.
TKIP provides a different key for per packet with a message integrity check. This key will be changed for every fixed
interval.
AES is the next-generation cryptography algorithm that the U.S. government improves to replace the DES and 3DES.
This authentication method is suitable for a small wireless network and easy to add the security because the
authentication server is not required unlike the WPA/WPA2/802.1X.
DYNAMIC WEP automatically and periodically updates the WEP key.
When using WPAPSK/WPA2PSK, it is recommended to use a secure password for WPAPSK/WPA2PSK.

WEP
The WEP is a data encryption method using the WEP key between the Access Point and other wireless devices.
Compared with WPA/WPA2/802.1X and WPAPSK/WPA2PSK, the WEP is less security. If the wireless network is
configured in the Infrastructure Mode and the Access Point supports WPA/WPA2/802.1X or WPAPSK/WPA2PSK, it is
recommended to use WPA/WPA2/802.1X or WPAPSK/WPA2PSK rather than WEP.
The WEP authentication is available for both the Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode.

2 APPENDIX
Glossary
Ad hoc mode
A type of network for wireless LAN communications. In this mode a network is easily built because no access point is
required. However, this mode is not available for multiple simultaneous communications due to its poor extensibility; in
other words, it is unsuitable for wireless LAN communication connecting many devices.
AP (Access Point)
Stands for Access Point. Access points are required to relay terminals for a communication in the Infrastructure mode,
explained later in this section.
Channel
A segment for 2.4 GHz frequency bandwidth for wireless LAN communications. When more than one access point exists
in a narrow area in the Infrastructure mode, different channels are required for each in order to avoid radio wave
interference. Communications among devices with different channels are not available even if their SSIDs (explained later
in this section) are the same.
CSMA/CA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Avoidance)
A type of access controlling method for wireless LAN communications. In this method terminals constantly monitor their
communication status with each other. When one terminal is communicating, others stop their communications and wait
until they confirm that an available access route comes up, in order to avoid the collision of communication signals as
much as possible.
DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum)
A type of signal transmission system for wireless LAN communications. As one of the characteristics of this system, less
noise occurs during communication and thus DSSS communication interferes with other communications less, because
signals are spread to a wide spectrum with a small amount of electric power. Also this system uses the Pseudo Noise
Code for the modulation and demodulation of signals, so a confidential communication with less risk of being intercepted
is available.
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers)
An organization that promotes studies for electronic related fields. The major activities of IEEE are holding academic
conferences and publishing technical papers. Also its internal committees establish and recommend technical standards.
The IEEE802 LAN/MAN Standard Committee of IEEE is in charge of technical standards for wireless LAN
communications.
IEEE802.11b / IEEE802.11g
Technical standards established by IEEE for wireless LAN communications with a 2.4 GHz frequency bandwidth.
Infrastructure mode
A type of network for wireless LAN communications. This mode is suitable for a wireless LAN communication connecting
more than one device because a simultaneous communication among these devices is available by installing access
points. Also interface ports embedded in each access point can extend the range of communication by integrating wireless
LAN and wired LAN.
OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
A type of communication system for wireless LAN communications. This is one of the multi-carrier systems that transmits
signals through multiple carriers with different center frequencies and makes these carriers orthogonal so that they will not
interfere each other, and thus efficient communications will be available within a narrow bandwidth.
PSK (Pre-Shared Key) passphrase
“PSK” is a preset encryption key shared with terminals and “passphrase” is a character string required for PSK
authentication. A passphrase consists of a number of words (phrase), while a general password is only a short single
word. This means passphrases have a stronger tolerance toward security invasion than passwords.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service)
A protocol for network service authentication. This protocol originally developed for authentication for dial-up connections
is now used for authentication for various network services. The RADIUS server is an authentication server supporting
RADIUS protocols. This server efficiently controls access to a network because the authentication information of network
users and their accessing statuses are centrally controlled.
SSID (Service Set ID)
A network ID for wireless LAN communications. To identify terminals or access points that belong to the same wireless
LAN network, the same SSID must be set for each device. Communications among devices with different SSIDs are not
available.
