WEP

- For more secure data transmission, set the “Use Wep” to

io128 - bitl8 or ir64 - bitl8 to ensure wireless network security.
The advance Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this
card to prevent unauthorized access. The 128 - bit setting gives a
higher level of security, but the setting must be the same as other
clients in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled)

PS Mode

- Enable the Power Saving Mode for reducing power

loading. (Default: Disabled)

Channel

- If you are setting up an ad hoc wireless LAN (see page

17), set the channel number to the same radio channel as that
used by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you
are connecting to a network via an access point, then the channel
is automatically set to the channel of the access point that the
adapter connects to.

Encryption Screen

The WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in SMC’s EZ
Connect Wireless PCI Card is based on an RC4 encryption
algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data
confidentiality are four 10 bit keys for the 64 bit Wep setting (first
screen below) and one 26 - bit key for the 128 - bit Wep setting
(second screen below). This WEP security protects your wireless
LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or
unexpected intruders. If the WEP is in use, the WEP key is required
for connecting to an access point or listening to messages that
pass through the air.

To use the WEP function, take the following steps:

1. Select “128 bit” or “64 bit” for the “WEP” field in the 

“Configuration” folder.

2.  Click on the “Encryption” tab to setup security keys
