Conceptronic Wireless 54Mbps USB Adapter

The field below the Available WLANs shows all of the Wireless Access Points that

your C54RU could detect. On your LAN, you will probably only see one AP, unless

you have installed more than one.

To connect to a particular WLAN AP, simply double-click its entry in the Available

WLANs field.

This will open the Wireless Network Properties screen, as shown below.

The Wireless network name field must contain the SSID of the AP you are

configuring a connection for. This SSID is entered by default and in the case shown

above, is default.

Authentication Modes

There are four available types of user authentication supported by your C54RU −

Open System, Shared, WPA, and WPA-PSK. Authentication is a process very similar

to entering a username and password when you log on to your PC. It is intended to

prevent unauthorized people from accessing your WLAN network. You should

select the same Authentication mode here that you have selected for your WLAN

Access Point.

If you have enabled WEP on your AP, you can enable WEP on the C54RU and enter

the necessary wireless encryption keys on this screen. You will need to know the

length of the keys that will be entered. The drop-down menu allows you to specify

the key length from 64 bits (10 hexadecimal digits) − to 128 bits (16 ASCII

alphanumeric characters).
