[. . . ] This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. -1- Contents Chapter 1 System Requirements ______________________________ 3 1-1 Hardware ________________________________________________________________ 3 1-2 Software _________________________________________________________________ 3 Chapter 2 Install Driver for Windows Series ____________________ 4 2-1 Set up 11B/G MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card for Windows Series _________________ 4 Chapter 3 Configure MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card _____________ 6 3-1 Install Utility______________________________________________________________ 6 3-2 Use the MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card with Zero Configuration Tool ______________ 7 Chapter 4 Configure MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card with "MiMo Wireless Utility" for Windows 98/ME/2000/XP _________________ 10 4-1 Site Survey Page__________________________________________________________ 10 4-1-1 Add/Edit Profile ______________________________________________________ 11 4-2 Authentication & Security _________________________________________________ 14 4-2-1 802. 1x Setting ________________________________________________________ 15 4-2-2 CA Server ___________________________________________________________ 16 4-3 Profile Page______________________________________________________________ 18 4-4 Link Status Page _________________________________________________________ 19 4-5 Statistics Page____________________________________________________________ 20 4-6 Advance Page ____________________________________________________________ 22 4-7 About Page ______________________________________________________________ 24 -2- Chapter 1 System Requirements Before installing the adapter and related software, make sure the computer system meets the minimum requirements described below. 1-1 Hardware The adapter can be installed in any recent-model IBM-type microcomputer with a PCMCIA on notebook or PCI slot on desktop which support CardBus or PCI interface. The CardBus adapter is a Type II CardBus card, and can be installed in a Type II or Type III CardBus slot. 1-2 Software The drivers included with the adapter allow the adapter to be used in Microsoft Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP. -3- Chapter 2 Install Driver for Windows Series This section describes the installation of the 11B/G MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card driver for the Windows98/ME/2000 and Windows XP operating systems. 2-1 Set up 11B/G MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card for Windows Series Step 1: After inserting the MIMO WIRELESS LAN Card into the PCMCIA slot on notebook or PCI slot desktop, the Windows will auto-detect the MOMO WIRELESS LAN Card and a "Found New Hardware Wizard" window will show up. [. . . ] Selecting the" CAM when AC Power" means the power saving mode can automatically switch into CAM, if the computer uses the AC power, not using the batteries instead. Selecting the "Power Save Mode" can only work under the infrastructure mode. Network Type: Can select "Infrastructure" or "802. 11 Ad Hoc" mode. When set up to "Infrastructure" mode, the "Power Saving" mode will be enabled, but the "11b Preamble Type" will not; When set up to "802. 11 Ad Hoc" mode, the "Power Saving Mode" will not be enabled, but "11b Preamble" will, and the channel selection in the session 7 will show up as well. TX Power: Transmit power, the amount of power used by a radio transceiver to send the signal out. 802. 11B only, 802. 11 B/G mixed 802. 11A only, - 12 - 802. 11 A/B/G mixed and 802. 11G only modes are supported. RTS Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. Fragment Threshold: User can adjust the RTS threshold number by sliding the bar or key in the value directly. Profile function is based on the needs to set up the most linkable AP in order to record the system configuration and to set up the authentication security. The function of each session is shown below - 13 - 4-2 Authentication & Security As shown in picture . When the Encryption feature is enabled, the other setups are same as the said WEP setting. 1. Authentication Type: There are three type of authentication modes supported by RaConfig. 802. 1x Setting: It will display to set when user use radius server to authenticate client certificate for WPA authentication mode. The detail operation will explain in section 5-6 Configure connection with WPA by 802. 1x setting 3. Encryption Type: For open and shared authentication mode, the selection of encryption type are None and WEP. For WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, the encryption type supports both TKIP and AES. For WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK authentication mode, this field must be filled with character longer than 8 and less than 32 length. ASCII128bits13 ASCII characters. 4-2-1 802. 1x Setting 802. 1x is a authentication for WPAand WPA2certificate to server. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN. Provides for certificate-based and - 15 - mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent iii. [. . . ] RTS Frames Fail To Receive CTS: Failed to receive CTS after sending RTS. 2. iii. iv. Frames Dropped Due To Out-of-Resource: Frames dropped due to resource issue. Duplicate Frames Received: Duplicate received frames. - 20 - 3. To zero the statistic numbers of transmitting and receiving data. - 21 - 4-6 Advance Page The advance setting is shown as follows. 802. 11B only, 802. 11 B/G mixed 802. 11A only, 802. 11 A/B/G mixed and 802. 11G only modes are supported.
