1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Hawking Technologies Hi-Gain Mini USB Wireless -G Adapter . The HWU54DM complies with the IEEE 802.11g standard, which supports up to 54Mbps high -speed wireless networking. It is also backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11b devices. The HWU54DM is a high quality, high performance wireless product that has been designed with Hawking’s Hi-Gain Technology for improved distance and throughput. Using a unique swivel -and-rotate design paired with a 5dB/5dB Patch antenna, the adapter ensures you’ll get the greatest signal coverage wherever you are. The antenna itself is uniquely designed to get up to 300% increase in signal reception compared to standard wireless adapters. Just point the unit in the direction of the wireless signal source and you’re sure to get the highest signal strength. The LED Signal Strength Indicator provides you the information you need to make sure you’re getting the most from your wireless connection.
For piece-of-mind wireless security, the HWU54DM supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supportsthe WPA and WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) security standards that combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key.
