FAQ for Wi-Fi E. Security E1: What is WEP? WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security service, used to prevent the unauthorized access to your wireless network. E2: How many WEP security service modes does my Wireless LAN support? WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy that is the security service for the Wireless Network. There are three WEP security service modes available for "IEEE 802.11b WLAN Adaptor" formed Wireless Net- work. The first is "Disable" which will disable the WEP security service; the second is "64bit" which will support 5 bytes Hexadecimal value WEP security service; the third is "128bit" which will support 13 bytes Hexadecimal value WEP security service. E3: How do I set the WEP security service? Please click Start> Settings> System> Wireless LAN Utility> Security to view Security page where you can set the WEP security service. Please choose the proper WEP Key Mode, WEP KeyID and WEP Key value for the Wireless Network. The WEP Mode, WEP KeyID and WEP Key value must be exactly the same as your Wireless Network's to enable the connection. Example of setting the WEP: You can choose: 1. WEP Mode "64bit", KeyID "1" and Key "1234567890", or 2. WEP Mode "128bit", KeyID "1" and Key "12345678901234567890123456", or 3. WEP Mode "Disable" for connection F. Performance F1: Will IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor work in the environment where Bluetooth network is employed? Yes, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor can coexist with Bluetooth environment. F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor? It depends on the data transmission rate and the condition of the environments. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it could cover. At 11 Mbps, the adaptor can go up to 300 meter in an outdoor environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only go up to 100 meter. Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior walls and reflected signals, indoor range is usually shorter than outdoor range. User's Manual B-7

E1: What is WEP?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security service, used to
prevent the unauthorized access to your wireless network.
E2: How many WEP security service modes does my Wireless LAN
support?
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy that is the security service for
the Wireless Network. There are three WEP security service modes
available for “IEEE 802.11b WLAN Adaptor” formed Wireless Net- work.
The first is “Disable” which will disable the WEP security service; the
second is “64bit” which will support 5 bytes Hexadecimal value WEP
security service; the third is “128bit” which will support 13 bytes
Hexadecimal value WEP security service.
E3: How do I set the WEP security service?
Please click Start> Settings> System> Wireless LAN Utility> Security to
view Security page where you can set the WEP security service. Please
choose the proper WEP Key Mode, WEP KeyID and WEP Key value for
the Wireless Network.
The WEP Mode, WEP KeyID and WEP Key value must be exactly the
same as your Wireless Network’s to enable the connection. Example of
setting the WEP:
You can choose:
1.
WEP Mode “64bit”, KeyID “1” and Key “1234567890”, or
2.
WEP Mode “128bit”, KeyID “1” and Key
“12345678901234567890123456”, or
3.
WEP Mode “Disable” for connection
F. Performance
F1: Will IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor work in the environment where
Bluetooth network is employed?
Yes, IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor can coexist with Bluetooth
environment.
F2: How far is the working range of IEEE802.11b WLAN Adaptor?
It depends on the data transmission rate and the condition of the
environments. The higher the data rate, the smaller the range it could
cover. At 11 Mbps, the adaptor can go up to 300 meter in an outdoor
environment; however, in an indoor environment, it can only go up to 100
meter. Because of the ceilings, higher RF interference, interior walls and
reflected signals, indoor range is usually shorter than outdoor range.
