Data Encryption: Options are “WEP,” “TKIP” and “AES.” Select the correct value

for the wireless network you wish to connect to.

ASCII / Passphrase: These two options only apply to WEP encryption. To connect

to a network that is protected by WEP encryption, you need to specify

whether you type in the key in ASCII format or as a passphrase. When

you select “Passphrase,” the key length needs to be provided. Select 64

bits or 128 bits from the drop-down list.

Key Index: This option, too, is only active for WEP encryption. Normally there’s no

need to change it, but if the wireless network you want to connect uses a

key other than key “1,” then you can select the correct key number from

the drop-down list.

Network Key: Enter the network security key for the wireless network you want

to connect to.

Confirm Network Key: Re-enter the network security key. If you don’t know the

password for the wireless network, check with the administrator or owner

of the wireless network and ask for the security details.

2.3 Available Network

When you open the Configuration Utility, the system will scan all the channels to

find all the access points/stations within the accessible range of your adapter and

automatically connect to the wireless network with the highest signal strength. On

the Available Network screen, all the networks nearby will be listed, and you can

change the connection to another network.
