Hawking Technology HWU54DM instruction

Parameter	Description

Authentication Type	This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that
	the adapter intends to connect to. All security keys within a
	network must match to allow successful communications.
	Open – No authentication is needed among the wireless network.
	Shared – Only wireless stations using a shared key (WEP Key
	identified) are allowed to connecting each other.
	LEAP – Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol. Allows
	dynamic WEP keys and mutual authentication between a wireless
	client and a RADIUS server. LEAP allows for clients to
	reauthenticate frequently; upon each successful authentication,
	the clients acquire a new WEP key
	WPA-PSK– It is a special mode designed for home and small
	business users who do not have access to network authentication
	servers. In this mode, known as Pre-Shared Key, the user
	manually enters the starting password in their access point or
	gateway, as well as in each wireless stations in the network. WPA
	takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized
	users that don't have the matching password from joining the
	networ k, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized
	devices. The encryption methods are including TKIP and AES.
	Note that this option is only available for Windows XP.
	WPA2 – This mode complies with the 802.11i standard. Option
	available on Windows XP computers only.

Parameter	Description
Encryption Mode	None – Disable the WEP Data Encryption.
	WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is
	selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys.
	TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integ rity Protocol) changes the
	temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message
	transmitted over a network.) This insures much greater security
	than the standard WEP security.
	AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of
	security and authenticity for digital information and it is the most
	advanced solution defined by IEEE 802.11i for the security in the
	wireless network.
