11 4.3 Profile The “ Profiles List ” is for you to manage the networks you connect to frequently. You are able to Add/Delete/Edit/Activate a profile. Pa rameter Description Profiles List The profiles list display all the profiles and the relative information including Profile Name, SSID, Channel, etc .
12 System Configuration Parameter Description Profile Name Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different networks. SSID The SSI D (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two co - located WLANs.
13 RTS Threshold Minimum packet size require d for an RTS (Request To Send). For packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet is transmitted directly to the wireless network . Select a setti ng within a range of 0 to 2312 bytes.
14 Parameter Description Authentication Type This setting has to be consistent with the wireless n etworks 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.
15 Note: All devices in the network should use the same encryption method to ensure the communication. WPA Pre - Shared Key The WPA - PSK key can be from eight to 64 characters and can be letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the wireless stations in the network .
16 To enable the WPA function in Windows XP, the following software systems are required: 1. Right - click the Windows wireless networks icon located on your taskbar as shown below. Select “ Vi ew Available Wireless Networks ” to open up the Wireless Networks window.
17 4. In the Wireless Networks tab, s elect your preferred wireless network you are connected to and click on “ Properties ”..
