The Utility icon will appear in the taskbar by clicking the IEEE802. 11b USB WLAN Utility shortcut on your desktop. The monitor Utility includes six tabs: Monitor, Statistics, Site Survey, Encryption, Advanced, and Version. In 802. 11b Ad-Hoc mode, the Channel and SSID must be the same among stations so that the computers can communicate within the local LAN properly. Moreover, all connected computers should have the same netid and subnetid, you can follow the procedure below to check whether you have the same netid and subnetid among stations: 1. Right-click on the Network Neighborhood on your desktop and then click on "Properties". In Configuration, click on "TCP/IP -> IEEE802. 11b USB WLAN Adapter" and then click on "Properties". You can click the Clear button to reset Statistics Tab. 14 3. 3. 3 Site Survey · The screen shows all the messages of Access Point around your IEEE 802. 11b USB device. The messages of Access Point include BSSID, SSID, Signal, the Channel used by AP, and enabled the Encryption AP or not. You can double-click the BSSID to choose the AP that you want to connect with. · · 15 3. 3. 4 Encryption !Infrastructure mode: Note: Before enabling the WEP function, you must obtain the WEP key (Hexadecimal codes) being used in the Access Point and then apply these codes as the WEP Key. (1) Encryption: Select 64 Bit if you have obtained 10 valued codes from the Access Point; select 128 Bit if you have obtained 26 valued codes from the Access Point. It can support up to 4 sets of different WEP keys, and any blanks in the unused WEP key needed to be filled with a value. Example of WEP Key in 64 Bit type Key 1 Key 2 Key 3 Key 4 1023c2d2e5 0000000000 0000000000 0000000000 Example of WEP Key in 128 Bit type Key 1 Key 2 Key 3 Key 4 1e23c2d225b012ee29e689c123 00000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000 Note: Apply ten" 0" to substitute each of unused WEP Key. Note: Apply twenty-six "0" to substitute each of unused WEP key. (3) WEP Key: Select one of WEP Key (Key1 to Key4) to use. (4) WEP Mode: Mandatory for communicating with all stations having WEP enabled or Optional for WEP disabled. (Select Shared Key to work with Unex Access Point) (6) After all the settings are completed, click on "Submit" button to save the setting. Note: It is very important to be sure that WEP key is to be exactly same value with all other WEP enabled wireless devices. ` 16 3. 3. 5 Advanced · The screen shows the advanced setting of the IEEE802. 11b USB WLAN Utility, and it includes Preamble Type, Fragmentation Threshold, and RTS / CTS Threshold. · Click on Submit button to save all the settings. 17 3. 3. 6 Version · The screen shows the version of Driver, Firmware, and Application for IEEE802. 11b USB WLAN Utility / Driver. 18 3. 4 Remove your USB Adapter If you do not need the wireless connectivity of your IEEE802. 11b USB WLAN Adapter, you can unplug your USB adapter directly, and follow the procedures mentioned below to remove the PC Card from its slot. !
