Configuring Wireless Adaptor Properties  
Before you start you need to know:  
1. The type of network you are connecting to, infrastructure or ad-hoc.  
2. The SSID of the network you are connecting to.  
3
The SSID is already determined on an existing network by the network administrator.  
You will have to set up your adaptor in order to comply with the network. Only  
when you are setting up a new network, is there an option on the SSID.

3.2 WINDOWS XP ONLY  
Pages 34-42 of the User’s Manual on CD describe every individual function of

Setting Up Wireless Privacy  
4.1 WEP  
4
WEP is for protection against eavesdropping and prevention of access from  
unauthorised wireless stations. Both 64 and 128 bit encryption are supported.  
The 128 bit option is more secure but it impacts more on the effective throughput  
of the network than the 64 bit option.  
The WEP setting is determined on an existing network by the network  
administrator. Only if you are setting up a new network there is the option on  
the WEP setting.  
Before you start you should know:  
1. The type of encryption, 64 or 128-bit.  
2. The encryption keys.  
3. The key number to be used.  
4. Open or shared key authentication.  
These settings must be identical to those on the access point or wireless stations.  
If the network you are connecting to uses no encryption, go to Encryption and  
check that the setting is disabled.  
If the network is protected by WEP:  
1. Select Encryption from the  
Wireless LAN Cards Monitor Utility.  
2. Choose 64 or 128 Bit encryption.  
3. Enter the WEP keys in either HEX or  
ASCII. Note that in HEX format only  
digits 0-9 and letters A-F are accepted.  
The four keys, including the one  
selected as WEB Key to use, are used  
to decrypt the data you receive.  
4. In the WEP Key to use box, select the  
key number to encrypt data.  
5. Select Open System or Shared Key  
for authentication type. To enable the  
settings, click the Submit button.  
4.2 MAC ADDRESS FILTERING OR ASSOCIATION CONTROL  
Some access points block access from unauthorised clients by registering the  
MAC address of all authorised clients. If the network uses this function you must

WLAN PCMCIA Card/USB Adaptor Quick Set-up Guide  
supply the MAC address of your adaptor to the network administrator for inclusion  
into the access point’s list of authorised users. The MAC address of your adaptor  
is printed on a barcode label affixed to the product. The label reads MAC:009096-  
xxxxxx. 009096 is the first half of the address.

Troubleshooting  
1. Cannot connect to access point (infrastructure mode) or  
other wireless stations (ad-hoc mode)  
7
Check that the POWER light on the adaptor is on.  
Make sure the adaptor and access points/wireless stations are using the  
same SSID.  
If MAC address filtering (see section 4.2) is enabled at the access point,  
contact the network administrator to include your adpator’s MAC address into  
the list of authorised clients.  
If WEP is used, make sure the same encryption (64- or 128-bit) is selected  
and the same WEP key table has been entered.  
Incorrect IP Address or Subnet Mask. Check these settings in the TCP/IP  
Properties dialog box in the Network Configuration tab.  
Restart computer.  
2. How to find the MAC address of my adaptor  
The MAC address of your adaptor can be read off the barcode label affixed  
on the product. The label reads MAC:009096-xxxxxx. 009096 is the first half  
of the address.  
Alternatively if the adaptor is already installed go to the DOS prompt, type  
ipconfig /all. The MAC address is shown under physical address as a group  
of 6 double digits.  
3. Poor Link Quality  
If the link quality is poor, it may be due to:  
Radio interference.  
Distance between adaptor and access point/wireless station is too far.  
4. How to avoid radio interference  
Other wireless devices and appliances on site may share the same 2.4 GHz band.  
If undesirable effects are observed, try switching to a different channel.  
Alternatively, switch the other devices to use a different channel. Also try the  
following:  
Move the computer to a different location or orientation. If the adaptor is  
USB, move the adaptor instead of the computer.

WLAN PCMCIA Card/USB Adaptor Quick Set-up Guide  
If the radio interference source is known, increase the separation between  
the wireless computers and the device causing the interference.  
Do not share the same AC power socket between the computer and the device  
generating the interference.  
Stay away from microwave sources (including microwave oven) and large  
metal objects.
