Data Encryption:
Options are “WEP,” “TKIP” and “AES.” Select the correct value
for the wireless network you wish to connect to.
ASCII / Passphrase:
These two options only apply to WEP encryption. To connect
to a network that is protected by WEP encryption, you need to specify
whether you type in the key in ASCII format or as a passphrase. When
you select “Passphrase,” the key length needs to be provided. Select 64
bits or 128 bits from the drop-down list.
Key Index:
This option, too, is only active for WEP encryption. Normally there’s no
need to change it, but if the wireless network you want to connect uses a
key other than key “1,” then you can select the correct key number from
the drop-down list.
Network Key:
Enter the network security key for the wireless network you want
to connect to.
Confirm Network Key:
Re-enter the network security key. If you don’t know the
password for the wireless network, check with the administrator or owner
of the wireless network and ask for the security details.
2.3 Available Network
When you open the Configuration Utility, the system will scan all the channels to
find all the access points/stations within the accessible range of your adapter and
automatically connect to the wireless network with the highest signal strength. On
the Available Network screen, all the networks nearby will be listed, and you can
change the connection to another network.
