5 Configuration Utility

The Configuration Utility is provided to allow you further customization of the DSE WLAN
adaptor and your wireless network.

5.1 Using the configuration Utility

The Configuration Utility would have been installed if the procedures in the previous section
have been followed. An icon appears in the system tray when the DSE WLAN adaptor is
plugged in.

The utility is divided into six parts: Status, Statistics, Site Survey, Encryption, Advanced,
and Info. You should change all your configuration settings for your DSE WLAN adaptor using
this utility and not with the Network Properties section in your Control Panel.

5.1.1 Status

The Status screen provides information about the current link between the WLAN adaptor and
the Wireless Access Point.

In Infrastructure Mode, Status will display the connection statistics for the network segment
that you are on.

The Channel field shows what channel the WLAN adaptor is using.

The SSID field shows the current SSID set for the wireless network. This SSID can be modified
by clicking on the Change button.

The Tx Rate field shows the transfer rate in megabits per second.

The Int. Roaming field shows whether this feature is enabled or disabled. It allows your adapter
to retrieve country information from the access point and behave according to that country’s
regulations.

The Radio field indicates whether the radio signal is on or off.

The Signal Strength field displays a bar indicating the percentage, between 0 and 100
percent, of the strength of the signal. The higher the percentage, the stronger the signal.

The Link Quality field displays a bar indicating the percentage, between 0 and 100 percent, of
the quality of the link. The higher the percentage, the better the link.

The Change button allows you to customize the setting for the DSE WLAN adaptor and your
wireless network.

NOTE: When in Ad-Hoc mode, Signal Strength and Link Quality indicators will not be
available.

15
 XH1152 – DSE PCMCIA Card WLAN v2

The Operating Mode setting determines the architecture of your wireless network. Select
Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode depending on your network type. The Ad-Hoc mode is used
for simple peer-to-peer networks and allows the sharing of local resources only between WLAN
adaptors without a Wireless Access Point. The Infrastructure mode allows a wireless network
to be integrated into an existing wired network through an Access Point. Infrastructure networks
permit roaming between Access Points while maintaining a connection to all network
resources.

An acronym for Service Set Identifier, SSID is the unique name shared among all points in a
wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive
and must not exceed 32 characters.

The Tx Rate field shows the current transfer rate for the Network PC Card. To optimize
performance and range, the Tx Rate should be set to Auto, which will automatically adjust the
transfer speed for best performance and longest range.

The Channel setting specifies the channel used in wireless communication and should be set to
the same channel as the other points in the wireless network. The setting can only be adjusted
in Ad-Hoc mode.

5.1.2 Statistics

The Statistics screen provides information about the Tx / Rx Data, Management and Rejected
Packets.

16
5.1.3 Site Survey

The Site Survey screen shows the available access points and their features. Click on the
desired access point. Then double click BSSID to connect or Re-Scan to search for more
access points.

5.1.4 Encryption

On the Encryption screen, you can set the level of security with which you will be using the DSE
WLAN adaptor.

Under the drop-down box, you can choose to have WEP encryption Disabled, 64-Bit, or
128-Bit. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is an encryption scheme used to protect wireless
data communication. If you decide to use encryption, you can choose any of the available WEP
keys (1 to 4). You also have the option to select the WEP mode (Mandatory/optional). If you
select “Mandatory”, then not only WEP will be used, but also any other station needs to use
WEP encryption in order to establish a communication with your station. This requirement is in
line with the IEEE 802.11b standard. If, on the other hand, you choose “Option”, then your
station can communicate with every other station regardless of whether they use WEP or not.
The “Disabled” setting prevents the sharing of data with other computers on the WEP network.
When WEP is enabled, you need to enter the hexadecimal number (consisting of the letters
“A” through “F” and the numbers “0” through “9”) set by the other wireless WEP settings.
These settings must be identical to the WEP encryption on all points in your wireless network in
order to add the DSE WLAN adaptor to the network. The security keys are four 10 digit key for
the 64-Bit WEP setting and four 26 digit key for the 128-Bit WEP setting.

NOTE: The WEP Key Entry must match the Key on all other devices on the wireless network or
this device will be unable to transmit or receive data.

17
 XH1152 – DSE PCMCIA Card WLAN v2

For Authentication Type, you may choose between Open System or Shared Key.

Shared Key is when both the sender and recipient share a secret key. Both units use this key
for an extended length of time, sometimes indefinitely. Any eavesdropper that discovers the
key may decipher all packets until the key is changed.

Open System the default setting. It is when the sender and the recipient do not share a secret
key. Each party generates its own key-pair and asks the receiver to accept the (usually
randomly) generated key. Once accepted, this key is used for a short time only, then a new key
is generated and agreed upon.

5.1.5 Advanced

The Advanced screen allows you to set Fragmentation Threshold, the RTS/CTS Threshold,
and the Preamble Type. The Fragmentation Threshold Value indicates how much of the
network resources are devoted to recovering packet errors. The value should remain at its
default setting of 2,432. If you experience high packet error rates, you can decrease this value
but it will likely decrease overall network performance. Only minor modifications of this value
are recommended.

The RTS Threshold Value should remain at its default setting of 2,432. A preamble is a signal
used to synchronize the transmission timing between two or more systems. A series of
transmission pulses is sent before the data to indicate that “someone is about to transmit data.”
This ensures that systems receive the information correctly when the data transmission starts.

The Preamble Type should be set to Short (if the network environment is “noisy”) or Long (if
the environment is “clear”). Click Submit to complete the configuration.

18
5.1.6 Profiles

On the Profiles screen, you can have different profiles that have different settings. It is then
easy to apply particular settings in an instant.

5.1.7 Info

The About screen shows the release information for the Driver Version, Firmware Version,
Application Version, and MAC Address. Use the “Exit” button to exit the application.

19
 XH1152 – DSE PCMCIA Card WLAN v2

5.2 How to uninstall the configuration & Monitor Utility

In order to uninstall the Configuration & Monitor Utility, run the Setup utility program again. The
following screen will allow you to remove all installed components step by step.

It is recommended to stop the DSE WLAN adaptor and “Exit” the application prior to starting
the uninstallation procedure.

20
6 Troubleshooting

6.1 Adapter Installation Problems:

If your computer can’t find the DSE WLAN card or the network driver doesn’t install correctly,
check the following:

Make sure the card is securely seated in the PCMCIA slot. Check for any hardware
problems, such as physical damage to the card’s connector.

Try the card in another PCMCIA slot. If this also fails, test your computer with another
DSE WLAN card that is known to operate correctly. Check for a defective computer or PCMCIA
slot by trying the DSE WLAN card in another computer that is known to operate correctly.

When operating under Windows NT, make sure a PCMCIA card and socket services
driver is installed on your computer. Also check for resource conflicts using the Windows NT
Diagnostics utility.

Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS.

If there are other network adapters in the computer, they may be causing conflict.
Remove all other adapters from the computer and test the DSE WLAN card separately.

6.2 Network Connection Problems:

If the LED on the PC Card is not on, or if you can’t access any network resources from the
computer. Check the following:

Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your operating system. If
necessary, try reinstalling the driver.

Make sure the computer and other network devices are receiving power.

The Access Point you want to attach to may be defective. Try another Access Point.

If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the network, check that you
have enabled and configured the service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server,
be sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.

If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured your system for TCP/IP.

If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer in the Ethernet LAN when
configured for Infrastructure mode, check the following:

Make sure the Access Point that the station is linked to is powered on.

If you still can’t connect, change the Access Point to another radio channel.

Make sure the BSS ID is the same as the Access Point for a station with roaming
disabled, or the SS ID is the same as the Access Point for a station with roaming enabled.

Ensure that the station is configured with the same security options as the Access
Point.

7 About Wi-Fi

7.1 Wi-Fi is Freedom

Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, is freedom: it allows you to connect to the Internet from your couch
at home, a bed in a hotel room or a conference room at work without wires. How? Wi-Fi is a
wireless technology like a cell phone. Wi-Fi enabled computers send and receive data indoors
and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. And the best thing of all, it's fast. In fact,
it's several times faster than the fastest cable modem connection.

However, you only have true freedom to be connected anywhere if your computer is configured
with a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED radio adaptor (a PC Card or similar device). Wi-Fi certification means
that you will be able to connect anywhere there are other Wi-Fi CERTIFIED products - whether
you are at home, the office or corporate campus, or in airports, hotels, coffee shops and other
public areas equipped with a Wi-Fi access available.

7.2 Wi-Fi CERTIFIED = Confidence

Look for the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo on a product before you buy it. The Wi-Fi certified logo is
your only assurance that the product has met rigorous interoperability testing requirements to
assure products from different vendors will work together. The Wi-Fi CERTIFIED logo means
that it's a "safe" buy. Wi-Fi Certification comes from the Wi-Fi Alliance, a nonprofit international
trade organisation that tests 802.11-based wireless equipment to make sure it meets the Wi-Fi
standard and works with all other manufacturers' Wi-Fi equipment on the market. Thanks to the
Wi-Fi Alliance, you don't have to read the fine print or study technical journals: if it says Wi-Fi,
it will work.

7.3 Wi-Fi Connects You

Imagine working on your laptop or checking e-mail from anywhere in your home. Imagine being
able to connect to your office network from an airport or coffee shop. Imagine retrieving files or
presentations from the corporate network, cruising the Internet or sending instant messages to
co-workers - and doing it all from a conference room or the company cafeteria.

Now, imagine doing all these things easily and quickly - without worrying about finding a wired
network connection. That is Wi-Fi.

Imagine being able to move your entire office without losing your investment in networking
installations, or to add new staff, all without moving cables or installing complicated hubs and
routers. That is Wi-Fi.

7.4 The Wi-Fi Technology

It's powerful. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE802.11b to provide secure,
reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each
other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE 802.3). Wi-Fi networks operate in
the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, with an 11 Mbps (802.11b) or 54 Mbps (802.11a)
data rate or with products that contain both bands (dual band), so they can provide real-world
performance similar to the basic wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.

22
7.5 Who Can Use Wi-Fi?

Everyone can use Wi-Fi, almost everywhere in the world. Home Wi-Fi networks can connect
multiple computers to each other, to peripherals, and to the Internet. A Wi-Fi network can
connect a family's computers together to share such hardware and software resources as
printers and the Internet. That means everyone in the family can share stored files, photos and
documents and print them out on a single printer attached to one desktop computer - all without
unsightly cables running throughout the home. In a home or home office, using Wi-Fi
CERTIFIED equipment in your wireless network gives you the ability to share a single
high-speed broadband cable or DSL connection. A Wi-Fi network can easily be expanded to ten
users or more. It also gives you assurance that the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED equipment you purchase
today will work with the equipment you add to your network in the future. Wi-Fi networks also
work well for small businesses, providing connectivity between mobile salespeople, floor staff
and behind-the-scenes finance and accounting departments. Because small businesses are
dynamic, the built-in flexibility of a Wi-Fi network makes it easy and affordable for them to
change and grow.
