hoc work group or access point you want to connect to.

(SMC2652W Access point default: WLAN) If you will be

roaming among multiple Access Points with different

BSSID’s, a value of "ANY" will allow connection to any SSID.

configurations with Access Points.

("Infrastructure" is the default setting)

Channel If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN, set

the channel number to the same radio channel as

that used by the other wireless clients in your

group. However, if you are connecting to a

network via an Access Point, then the channel is

automatically set to the channel of the Access

Point that the adapter connects to.

SSID Input an SSID string that you want to connect to

("ANY" is the default setting). If you will be

roaming among multiple Access Points with

different BSSID’s, a value of "ANY" will allow

connection to any SSID.

Tx Rate Indicates the communication rates. Select

appropriate transmission speed to match your

wireless LAN settings. (Default: Fully Automatic)

Encryption Screen

Encryption

For more secure data transmission, set the

"Encryption" to "128-bit" or "64-bit" to ensure

wireless network security. Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) is implemented in this adapter to prevent

unauthorized access to your wireless network. The

128-bit setting gives a higher level of security,

but the setting must be the same as other clients

in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled)

The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented

in SMC’s EZ Connect Wireless USB adapter is based

on an RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys

provided to ensure data confidentiality are four 10

digit keys for the 64-bit WEP setting (first screen

below) and one 26-digit key for the 128-bit WEP

setting (second screen below). This WEP security

protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping

and unauthorized access by hackers or unexpected

intruders.

15 16

English

Create with Passphrase

Security keys for WEP encryption are generated

from your Passphrase string, so you must use the

same passphrase on all the other stations in your

network.

Manual Entry

"Manual Entry" allows the user to manually enter

key elements. ( 2 Hexadecimal digits in each

block)

Default Key ID

Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string

you prefer. If you are using a key generated from

Passphrase, you must use the same Passphrase and

key on each station.

To use the WEP function, take the following steps:

1. Select "128-bit" or "64-bit" for the "Encryption" field.

2. Then choose Create with Passphrase, type a string in the

Passphrase field and click "Generate", then select the key, and

click "Apply".

Note:

Passphrase string can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric

character. Or choose Manual Entry and enter key elements in

one of the keys 1-4, and click "Apply".

Note:

Each bit key must be hexadecimal.

Advanced Screen

Here you can set values of "Fragmentation

Threshold" (Default: 2346, which means Disabled)

and "RTS/CTS Threshold" (Default: 2347, which

means Disabled).
