How to Access At the Intel® PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility, Advanced Menu click Adapter Settings. Select the Advanced tab. WiFi Adapter Settings Description Name Description 802.11ac Mode The 802.11ac standard builds on 802.11n standard. 802.
Adapter Settings AMP (Wi-Fi) as the highspeed transport. If disabled, Bluetooth HS is turned off. HT Mode/VHT This settings lets you select HT Mode (High Throughput mode), VHT Mode (Very High Mode/Disabled Throughput Mode) or to disable both modes. HT Mode supports 802.11n compatibility, whereas VHT Mode supports 802.11ac compatibility. Fat Channel Intolerant This setting communicates to access points that this WiFi adapter does not prefer 40MHz channels in the 2.4GHz band.
Adapter Settings other devices that it shares the same radio spectrum with. NOTE: This setting takes effect when either Network (Infrastructure) or Device to Device (ad hoc) mode is used. Wake on Magic This setting, enabled, wakes the computer from a sleep state when it receives a "magic Packet packet" from a sending computer. The magic packet contains the MAC address of the intended destination computer. Enabling turns on Wake on Magic Packet. Disabling turns off Wake on Magic Packet.
Glossary Back to Contents Glossary Term Definition 802.11 The 802.11 standard refers to a family of specifications developed by the IEEE for wireless LAN technology. The 802.11 specifies an over-the-air interface between a wireless client and a base station or between two wireless clients and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS). 802.11a The 802.
Glossary CA (Certificate Authority) A corporate certification authority implemented on a server. In addition, Internet Explorer's certificate can import a certificate from a file. A trusted CA certificate is stored in the root store. CCX (Cisco Compatible eXtension) Cisco Compatible Extensions Program ensures that devices used on Cisco wireless LAN infrastructure meet the security, management and roaming requirements. Certificate Used for client authentication.
Glossary A SIM card is a special smart card that is used by Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) based digital cellular networks. The SIM card is used to validate your credentials with the network EAP-TLS A type of authentication method that uses EAP and a security protocol called the Transport Layer Security (TLS). EAP-TLS uses certificates that use passwords. EAP-TLS authentication supports dynamic WEP key management.
Glossary number of other EAP authentication methods can be used to perform client authentication. PEAP requires a TLS certificate on the RADIUS server, but unlike EAP-TLS there is no requirement to have a certificate on the client. PEAP has not been ratified by the IETF. The IETF is currently comparing PEAP and TTLS (Tunneled TLS) to determine an authentication standard for 802.1X authentication in 802.11 wireless systems.
Glossary Protocol) TKIP is part of the IEEE 802.11i encryption standard for wireless networks. TKIP is the next generation of WEP, the Wired Equivalency Protocol, which is used to secure 802.11 wireless networks. TKIP provides per packet key mixing, a message integrity check and a re-keying mechanism, thus fixing the flaws of WEP.
Glossary upon the security features of WEP as follows: Improved data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP uses a hashing algorithm to scramble the encryption keys and adds an integrity-checking feature to ensure that the keys have not been tampered with. User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP).

Regulatory Information according to the instructions found in this manual will result in exposure substantially below the FCC’s recommended limits. The following safety precautions should be observed: Do not touch or move antenna while the unit is transmitting or receiving. Do not hold any component containing the radio such that the antenna is very close or touching any exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting.
Regulatory Information IEEE Std. 802.11n draft 2.0 compliant on Wireless LAN IEEE 802.16e-2005 Wave 2 compliant Wireless Fidelity certification, as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance WiMAX certification as defined by the WiMAX Forum The Wireless Adapter and Your Health The wireless adapter, like other radio devices, emits radio frequency electromagnetic energy.
Regulatory Information NOTE: The adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. Any other installation or use will violate FCC Part 15 regulations. Safety Approval Considerations This device has been safety approved as a component and is for use only in complete equipment where the acceptability of the combination is determined by the appropriate safety agencies.
Regulatory Information 在5.25-5.35 秭赫頻帶內操作之無線資訊傳輸設備 限於室內使用。 Radio Approvals To determine whether you are allowed to use your wireless network device in a specific country, please check to see if the radio type number that is printed on the identification label of your device is listed in the manufacturer's OEM Regulatory Guidance document. Modular Regulatory Certification Country Markings A list of countries requiring regulatory markings is available.
Regulatory Information Only antennas of the same type and with equal or less gains as shown below may be used with the Intel® wireless adapters.
