This chapter provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and operation of the adapter.

1. What is the IEEE 802.11n standard?

802.11n is an IEEE 802.11 wireless network standard that increases transmission speeds from a traditional 11Mbps (802.11b) to over 100Mbps. Currently, the HWUN1 supports up to 300Mbps. 802.11n can handle legacy 11a, 11b and 11g transmission in a mixed mode or only 11n nodes for maximum performance. It supports the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands.

The key to the 802.11n standard is the use of multiple antennas, known as MIMO (Multiple input/multiple output). MIMO technology enables two data streams, transmitter and receiver, to be sent simultaneously over longer distances and to impre the overall system performance.

2. What does IEEE 802.11 feature support

The product supports the following IEEE 802.11 functions:

zCSMA/CA plus Acknowledge Protocol

zMulti-Channel Roaming

zAutomatic Rate Selection

zRTS/CTS Feature

zFragmentation

zPower Management

3.What is Ad-hoc

An Ad-hoc integrated wireless LAN is a group of computers, each has a Wireless LAN adapter, Connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation.

4. What is Infrastructure

An integrated wireless and wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers.

5. What is BSS ID

A specific Ad hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSS ID.

6. What is WEP

WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based on a 40 bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802 .11 standard.

7. What is TKIP?

TKIP is a quick-fix method to quickly overcome the inherent weaknesses in WEP security, especially the reuse of encryption keys. TKIP is involved in the IEEE 802.11i WLAN security standard, and the specification might be officially released by early 2003.
