3 Configuration Utility The Topcom Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you configure the USB adaptor and monitor the link status and the statistics during the communication process. When the adaptor is installed, the configuration utility will be displayed automatically. This adaptor will auto connect to wireless device which has better signal strength and no wireless security setting. The Topcom Configuration Utility appears as an icon on the system tray o

3.1 Site Survey When you open the Topcom Configuration Utility, the system will scan all the channels to find all the access points/stations within the accessible range of your adaptor and automatically connect to the wireless device with the highest signal strength. From the “Site Survey”, all the networks nearby will be listed. You can change the connection to another networks or add one of the networks to your own profile list. Parameter Description Available Networks This

3.2 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. Parameter Description Profiles List The profiles list display all the profiles and the relative settings of the profiles including Profile Name, SSID, Channel, etc. This sign indicates the activated profile is been connecting. This sign indicates the activated profile is not been connecting. Add/Delete/Edit Button Click the

3.2.1 Configure the Profile 3.2.1.1 Configuration Parameter Description Profile Name Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different networks. SSID The SSID (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. You may specify a SSID for the adaptor and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the adaptor. If you want to add the network n

Parameter Description PSM (Power Saving Mode) The power saving function is only available when the network type is in Infrastructure. CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) – The adaptor will always set in active mode. PSM (Power Saving Mode) – Enable the adaptor in the power saving mode when it is idle. Network Type Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point or Router. Ad-Hoc – Select this mode i

Parameter Description RTS Threshold Minimum packet size required 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 setting within a range of 0 to 2347 bytes. Minor change is recommended. Fragment Threshold The value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size larger than the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased this value and experience high packet erro

Parameter Description Authentication Type LEAP – LEAP is a pre-EAP, Cisco-proprietary protocol, with many of the features of EAP protocols. Cisco controls the ability of other vendors to implement this protocol, so it should be selected for use only when limited vendor choice for client, access-point, and server products is not a concern. When you have set up LEAP authentication, you have to enter the user name and password of your computer. WPA – WPA provides a scheme of mutual auth

Parameter Description Encryption Mode None – Disable the encryption mode. WEP – Enable the WEP Data Encryption. When the item is selected, you have to continue setting the WEP Encryption keys. TKIP – TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) changes the temporal key every 10,000 packets (a packet is a kind of message transmitted over a network.) This ensures much greater security than the standard WEP security. AES – AES has been developed to ensure the highest degree of security a

The IEEE 802.1X specification describes a protocol that can be used for authenticating both clients and servers on a network. The authentication algorithms and methods are those provided by the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP), a method of authentication that has been in use for a number of years on networks that provide Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) support as many internet service providers and enterprises do. When an AP acting as an authenticator detects a wireless stat

This setting has to be consistent with the wireless APs or Routers that the adaptor intends to connect. PEAP &TTLS – PEAP and TTLS are similar and easier than TLS in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol be used within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol within its tunnel, including CHAP, MS-
