3 Configuration Utility The Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you configure SP906GK and monitor the link status and the statistics during the communication process. If SP906GK is installed successfully, the configuration utility will automatically pop up. It will automatically connect to the wireless device, which has better signal strength and no wireless security setting. The Configuration Utility appears as an icon on the system tray of Windows while

3.1 Site Survey 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 SP906GK and automatically connect you to the wireless device with the greatest signal strength. The “Available Network” will list all the networks nearby. You can change the connection to another AP or add one of the APs to your own profile list. Parameter Description Available Networks This list shows all available w

3.2.1 Configure the Profile 3.2.1.1 Base 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 SP906GK and then only the device with the same SSID can interconnect to the card. If you want to add the network nearby

3.2.1.2 Wireless network security Parameter Description Network Authentication Type This setting has to be consistent with the wireless networks that SP906GK intends to connect. Open System – No authentication is needed in the wireless network. Shared Key – Only wireless devices using a shared key (WEP Key identified) are allowed to connect to each other. WPA – WPA provides a scheme of mutual authentication using either IEEE 802.1x/Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) a

password in their access point or gateway, as well as in each wireless station in the network. WPA-PSK takes over automatically from that point, keeping unauthorized users that don't have the matching password from joining the network, while encrypting the data traveling between authorized devices. WPA2 – Like WPA, WPA2 supports IEEE 802.1 x/EAP authentication or PSK technology. It also includes a new advanced encryption mechanism using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is

802.1x Setting When you set the Authentication Type to Open, Shared, WPA or WPA2, you can also enable IEEE 802.1x setting to use the authentication server or certification server to authenticate client users. WPA Pre-Shared Key The WPA-PSK key can be from 8 to 64 characters and can be letters or numbers. This same key must be used on all of the wireless stations in the network. WEP Key The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in (Key1 ~ Key4) the wireless network. T

The IEEE 802.1X specification describes a protocol 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 station on the LAN,

3.2.1.3 802.1x Setting-Certification Parameter Description Authentication Type The EAP authentication protocols this card supports are listed below. This setting has to be consistent with the wireless APs or Routers that SP906GK intends to connect. PEAP &TTLS – PEAP and TTLS are similar and easier than TLS in that they specify a stand-alone authentication protocol to be used within an encrypted tunnel. TTLS supports any protocol within its tunnel, including CHAP, MS-CHAP, MS-C
