1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the IEEE 802.11g Wireless 108Mbps USB Adapter that
provides the easiest way to wireless networking. This User Manual contains
detailed instructions in the operation of this product. Please keep this manual for
future reference.
1.1 IEEE 802.11g Wireless 108Mbps USB Adapter
IEEE 802.11g Wireless 108Mbps USB Adapter (hereafter called the Adapter) is a
high-efficiency wireless LAN adapter for wireless networking at home, in office or in
public places. The data rate can be up to 108 Mbps and auto-negotiated to 54, 48,
36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps (IEEE 802.11g), or 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps (IEEE802.11b).
Wireless network security is protected with standard WEP encryption, Wi-Fi
Protected Access (WPA) with PSK and WPA, and further enhanced with 802.1x
authentication security.
With the Adapter, you can roam between conference room and office without being
disconnected the LAN cables; in addition, sharing files and printers can be easy
tasks.
The wireless LAN adapter is available to Microsoft Windows operating systems
(Windows® XP/2000) and can be integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc
mode (computer-to-computer, without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode
(computer-to-access point, an Access Point is required).
1.2 Product Features
Fully IEEE 802.11g and 802.11b standards compliant.
Highly efficient design mechanism to provide unbeatable performance
achieving data rate up to 54Mbps for 802.11g, 108Mbps for Super G and
11Mps for 802.11b wide range coverage.
Strong network security with 802.1x available in Windows XP, Wi-Fi Protect
Access (WPA), WPA with PSK and WEP encryption.
Auto-switch between the two standards, IEEE 802.11b and g that the
corresponding networking device is using.
Driver/Utility support most commonly used operating systems including
Windows 200/XP.
Pen Size which is easy easy to carry provides users the most mobility and
flexibility.
Support USB2.0 and USB1.1 at the same time, especially for USB2.0 the data
rate reaches 480Mbytes.

1.3 How the Adapter works
Ad-hoc Mode: An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or other small network,
especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections, in which some of
the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a
communications session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared
printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind of network, new
devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate with other
wireless LAN computers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within
range.
Infrastructure Networking Mode: The difference between Infrastructure network
and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an Access Point. In an
Infrastructure network, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize
bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless
LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take
advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer,
and printer sharing. The scale and range of the Infrastructure networking are larger
and wider than that of the Ad-hoc networking.

4.3.1 Link Info
The Link Info screen shows you the status of the USB Adapter, it shows that where
the device is connected to, the Network mode, the Channel, the transmit rate and
the encryption mode.
There is another dialog box showing the data transmitted and data received. The
two signal lines show the Signal Strength and the Link Quality of the device.
Status: Shows the SSID associated, which can be used to identify the wireless
network.
SSID: Shows current SSID, which must be the same for the wireless client and AP
in order for communication to be established.
Frequency: Shows the current frequency used for wireless network.
Wireless Mode: Shows the current wireless mode used for wireless
communication.
Encryption: Shows the current encryption mode used for wireless network.
Tx Rate: Shows the current data rate used for transmitting.
Channel: Shows the current channel for communication.
Link Quality: Shows the link quality of the 108Mbps Wireless Network USB
Dongle with the Access Point when operating under Infrastructure mode.

Wireless 108Mbps USB Adapter 12
ENGLISH
Signal Strength: Shows the wireless signal strength of the connection between
the 108Mbps Wireless Network USB Dongle with the Access Point.
Data Rate: Shows the statistics of data transfer, and the calculation is based on
the number of packets transmitted and received.
The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11g wireless devices is
called a “channel”. Channels available depend on your geographical
area. You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should
use a different channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce
interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different access
points overlap causing interference and degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to
overlap, your AP should be on a channel at least five channels away from
a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region has
11 channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to
select a channel between 6 or 11.

4.3.2 Configuration
This is the page where you can change the basic settings of the Access Point with
the minimum amount of effort to implement a secure wireless network
environment.
SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and
nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and
nodes in the wireless network.
Wireless Mode: There are two types available for selection
•Infrastructure – to establish wireless communication with LAN and other
wireless clients through the use the Access Points.
•Ad-Hoc – to establish point-to-point wireless communication directly with
other wireless client devices such as wireless network Adapter.
Hoc Band: There are 3 bands available for selection- 11B.11G and 11G Turbo
Channel: The value of channel that AP will operate in. You can select the channel
range of 1 to 11 for North America (FCC) domain and 1 to 13 for European (ETSI)
domain and 1 to 14 for Japanese domain.
