IEEE 802.11b Pen Size Wireless USB 2.
Regulatory notes and statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety standards and recommendations.
The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. When nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance, in order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less than 2.5cm.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 2.5cm from all persons and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. CE Mark Warning This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. Unpacking Open the box of the Pen Size Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: One 802.11b Pen Size Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter One Driver & Utility CD-ROM One A-type USB male to female extension cable If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the Wireless USB 2.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION LED Indicator LNK (LINK) The LNK indicator lights green when the Wireless LAN is connected to a network successfully. Otherwise the LNK indicator blinks green while the Wireless USB Adapter is scanning the wireless device. Check the installation The LEDs of the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be seen instantly: 1.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter. Windows 98se/ME/2000/XP Utility and Driver Installation 1. Insert the Wireless LAN USB 2.0 Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer’s CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility. In some specific setting on Windows system, you may need to proceed the software manually, go to your Windows Start menu and choose Run, type “D:\Utility\Setup.
5. After finish the installation, plugged in the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter, you will see the icon on the Windows task bar. When the icon in the toolbar represent in green color, it is properly connected to the network and if it represent in red color, then it is not connected to the network.
Wireless Utility Setting With the Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the Wireless Monitor Utility. Double-click the utility icon that appears in the taskbar. The Wireless Monitor Utility includes seven tabs: Status, Configuration, Advanced, Profile, Network, Statistics and About.
Configuration The Configuration function helps you to configure the Network and the Security. Network: the setting of the Network mode, the SSID and the Channels. ¾ Network Mode: If you want to connect with an Access Point, please set to “Infrastructure” mode. If you have more stations and just want to set them as local network, please set the mode to “Ad-Hoc” mode.
¾ Channel: It shows radio channel numbers that used for WLAN networking. The channel number can be set only under the Ad-Hoc operation mode. In Ad-Hoc mode stations, each station must have the same channel numbers and SSID. In Infrastructure mode, the Wireless Adapter will automatically detect the channel number of the Access Point. Security: the setting of the Network Encryption. This function is used to protect wireless communication from eavesdropping.
Advanced The Advanced settings help you to control the Wireless Adapter to adjust with wireless devices in certain environment. ¾ Transmit Rate: You can choose one of the transmission rates as follows, 11Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 2Mbps, 1Mbps, and Fully Automatic. The Fully Automatic will automatically detect the suitable linking transfer rate and auto fall back when the signal is not too strong to transmit data, it will auto fall back from 11Mbps to 5.5Mbps, 2Mbps and 1 Mbps.
¾ Preamble Type: The usage of the preamble is to limit the packet size of the data to transmit. It is recommended to choose the short preamble when the link quality is bad, it is to prevent the wasting time of resending a long packet that is lost. The Default is Auto which access short and long preamble. ¾ Authentication Type: Open System: with the same WEP key between the stations, the stations don’t need to be authenticated, and this algorithm was set to default.
Profile The Profile section allows you to set values for all parameters by selecting a previously defined profile. Type a name in the Profile Name field to create a profile, click Save and click Apply when a profile is done. You can click Delete if the profile is no longer used, to activate other profile, choose a profile name in the Profile Name field and click Activate.
Network The screen shows all the Wireless devices around your Wireless Adapter. The information of the wireless devices includes the SSID, MAC Address, Channels, Signal, the WEP type and the Network mode. You can click the Rescan button to find the new wireless devices, and double-click the device to choose the wireless station that you want to connected with.
Statistics The Statistics section shows the real-time transmit and receive packets of the Wireless Adapter.
About The About section shows the Device Name, Regulatory Domain, Driver Version, MAC Address and the Utility version.
