Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11 wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 500 feet. With this distance, and because walls do not always block wireless signals, others outside your immediate area could access your network. It is important to take appropriate steps to secure your network from unauthorized access. The MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card provides highly effective security features which are covered in Section 3 of this manual. Netgear strongly recommends you deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. What You Will Need Before You Begin You need to verify your computer meets the minimum system requirements and identify the wireless network configuration settings of the WLAN where you will connect before you can configure your wireless pc card and connect. 4 Verify System Requirements Before installing the MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card, please make sure that these minimum requirements have been met:
You must have a Pentium Class notebook computer with an available PCMCIA or Cardbus slot. A CD-ROM drive. 5 Mbytes of free hard disk space. Some versions of Windows may ask for the original Windows operating system installation files to complete the installation of the MA401 driver software. Observe Location and Range Guidelines Computers can connect over 802.11b wireless networks indoors at a maximum range of approximately 500 feet. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical location of the computer with the MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card. For best results, avoid potential sources of interference, such as:
Microwaves 2.4 GHz Cordless phones Large metal surfaces In general, 802.11b wireless devices can communicate through walls. However, if the walls are constructed with concrete, or have metal, or metal mesh, the 802.11b effective range will decrease if such materials are between the devices. Two Basic Operating Modes The MA401 PC Card, like all 802.11b adapters, can operate in the following two basic modes:
5 Infrastructure Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices and computers communicate with each other by first going through an access point (AP). For example, this mode is used when computers in a house connect to an Access Point that is attached to a router which lets multiple computers share a single Cable or DSL broadband Internet connection. Ad-Hoc Mode: An 802.11 networking framework in which devices or computers communicate directly with each other, without the use of an AP. For example, Ad-Hoc Mode is used when two Windows computers are configured with file and print sharing enabled and you want to exchange files directly between them. Both of these configuration options are available with the MA401 PC Card. MA401 Default Wireless Configuration Settings If this is a new wireless network installation, use the factory default settings to set up the network and verify wireless connectivity. If this is an addition to an existing wireless network, you will need to identify the wireless configuration and security parameters already defined. Note: All NETGEAR, Inc. 802.11b wireless access products use the same factory settings as the MA401 and will work without any configuration changes. Your MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card factory default basic settings are:

I can connect to an access point, but I do not see the other computers on the network. This could be a physical layer problem or a network configuration problem. Check to make sure that the access point is physically connected to the Ethernet network. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows networking parameters are all configured correctly. 20 Chapter 3 Protecting Your Wireless Connection The absence of a physical connection between nodes makes wireless links vulnerable to information theft. This chapter describes how to use the basic security features of the MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card to protect your connection. Enabling Basic Wireless Security Features There are several ways you can strengthen the security of your wireless connection. Enable Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications. Change the factory default SSID setting of the MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card. In addition to the MA401 wireless security features, you should also configure appropriate LAN network security features such as requiring a user name and password to access the shared resources in your network. Netgear strongly recommends that, at a minimum, you configure your wireless network to use an SSID other than the default setting.The procedures below identify how to change the SSID and WEP encryption settings of your MA401 802.11b Wireless PC Card. 21 Identifying the Wireless Network Name (SSID) and WEP Security Settings Print this form, fill in the configuration parameters and put it in a safe place for possible future reference. For an existing wireless network, the person who set up the network will be able to provide this information. Wireless Network Name (SSID): The Service Set Identification (SSID) identifies the wireless local area network. Wireless is the default MA401 SSID. You may customize it by using up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Netgear recommends that you write your customized SSID on the line below. Note: The SSID in the wireless access point is the SSID you configure in the wireless pc card. For the access point and wireless nodes to communicate with each other, all must be configured with the same SSID. Wireless network name (SSID): ______________________________ WEP Security Encryption key: The default WEP encryption key number is 1, and the default key size is 64 bits. Note: The key number as well as the key value used by both the Wireless Access Point and wireless nodes must be the same. If they are different, you will not be able to connect. WEP Encryption Key Size, circle one: 64 or 128 bits WEP Encryption Passphrase, if used: ____________________________ A Passphrase is used to automatically generate the WEP hexadecimal numbers for the key. If the wireless network Access Point uses a Passphrase, you can also use that here. Otherwise, you will have to manually enter the hexadecimal numbers. WEP Hexadecimal Numbers: ______________________________ The WEP Hexadecimal Numbers are needed if a Passphrase is not used in the wireless network access point but rather if the key is manually entered. Use the procedures below to configure basic security settings in the MA401. 22 Setting the Wireless Network Name (SSID) These settings must match the settings of the wireless Access Point. Follow the steps below to perform this procedure. 1. Run the Config Utility and select the Configuration tab page. 2. To change the SSID, enter a new SSID. Note: The characters are case sensitive. 3. Click Apply or OK for the changes to take effect. Configuring WEP Encryption Security Following the steps below to perform this procedure. 1. Run the Config Utility and select the Encryption tab page. 2. Select the WEP encryption strength you will use. The choices are:
64-bit WEP data encryption 128-bit WEP data encryption Note: Larger encryption keys require more processing and may slow the communications response times. 3. Check the Create with Passphrase radio button and enter the passphrase. Click Apply and the configuration utility automatically generates the WEP keys. Note: The characters are case sensitive. Be sure to use the same passphrase for all the wireless devices in the network. If the passphrase method is not available in the other devices, you must manually enter the keys to match exactly what is in the access point and other 802.11b wireless devices. 4. The Default Key setting must match what is set in the access point and the other 802.11b wireless devices. 5. Click Apply then OK for the changes to take effect. 23 Certificate of the Manufacturer/Importer It is hereby certified that the Model MA401 Wireless PC Card has been suppressed in accordance with the conditions set out in the BMPT- AmtsblVfg 243/1991 and Vfg 46/1992.
