This chapter describes how to configure your Adapter for wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security encryption features.

After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon will appear in your system tray. It appears at the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength using color and the received signal strength indication (RSSI).

- If the icon is purple, there is no connection.

- If the icon is white, the network is dropping off.

- If the icon is green, there is good signal strength.

- If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength.

In the following instruction for making a network connection, we use the provided Utility to configure your wireless network settings.

Note: You could use either the software we provide or Microsoft Zero Configuration tool to configure this adapter.

To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected ignored by most narrowband receivers. However, to an intended receiver i.e. another wireless LAN endpoint, the DSSS signal is recognized as the only valid signal, and interference is inherently rejected ignored  WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or 152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption. Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX hexadecimal - using characters 0-9, A-F or ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily
