USB-N13 WLAN Adapter User Manual

Encryption

This provides wireless data transmissions with a level of security. This option

allows you to specify a 64-bit or a 128-bit WEP key. A 64-bit encryption contains

10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. A 128-bit encryption contains 26

hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.

64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and can interoperate

on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10

hexadecimal digits assigned by the user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization

Vector assigned by the device. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same

encryption method.

All wireless clients in a network must have identical WEP keys with the access

point to establish connection. Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.

Extended Service Set (ESS)

A set of one or more interconnected basic service set (BSSs) and integrated local

area networks (LANs) can be configured as an Extended Service Set.

ESSID (Extended Service Set Identifier)

You must have the same ESSID entered into the gateway and each of its wireless

clients. The ESSID is a unique identifier for your wireless network.

Ethernet

The most widely used LAN access method, which is defined by the IEEE 802.3

standard. Ethernet is normally a shared media LAN meaning all devices on the

network segment share total bandwidth. Ethernet networks operate at 10Mbps

using CSMA/CD to run over 10-BaseT cables.

Firewall

A firewall determines which information passes in and out of a network. NAT can

create a natural firewall by hiding a local network's IP addresses from the Internet.

A Firewall prevents anyone outside of your network from accessing your computer

and possibly damaging or viewing your files.

Gateway

A network point that manages all the data traffic of your network, as well as to the

Internet and connects one network to another.
