Configuring Your Network Settings (WLAN) to which you wish to connect. The SSID must be provided to you by your system administrator. Wireless Mode: [Default: Infrastructure] Infrastructure sets NeoLinux to connect to wireless Ethernet access points. Ad-Hoc sets NeoLinux to connect to other desktop devices with wireless Ethernet adapters. Channel: [Default: (Grayed-out 6 - 2.437 GHz)] Only applicable for Ad-Hoc networks, the user can choose between 13 wireless Ethernet channels. Transmission Speed: [Default: Auto] The default value Auto allows the software and the wireless Ethernet device automatically adjust the transmission speed according to the environment. The user may also select between 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Megabits/second transmission speeds. Encryption: [Default: Disabled] This setting determines whether the wireless Ethernet adapter uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) keys to encode the communication between the thin client and the access point. If a wireless access point is set to use WEP encryption, then all wireless adapters communicating with that access point must also be set to use WEP encryption, and use identical WEP keys to the one in use by the access point. The choices for encryption types are: • Disabled (the default value). With this setting, the wireless Ether- net adapter does not use encryption. • Open system. The wireless adapter is allowed to receive non- encrypted packets from the access point. • Restricted system. The wireless adapter is only allowed to receive encrypted packets from the access point. WEP Keys The user may define up to three WEP keys that may be used for communication with wireless access points that are configured to use WEP encryption. 38 Configuring the Neoware 802.11b USB Wireless Ethernet Adapter
