Introduction to wireless networking The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device is an 802.11b wireless networking device that connects to a USB port on your computer. Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN network products are based on the IEEE 802.11b standard and connect computers together to form a wireless local area network (WLAN). All Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN products interoperate with other IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless devices from other vendors. The WiFi certification logo indicates that the wireless device is 802.11b compliant. The Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device operates in either infrastructure mode or peer-

to-peer mode. 1.1 Infrastructure Mode: A WLAN with Access Points In infrastructure mode, wireless clients send and receive information through access points. When a wireless client communicates with another, it transmits to the access point. The access point receives the information and rebroadcasts it. Then the other device receives the information. Access points are strategically located within an area to provide optimal coverage for wireless clients. A large WLAN uses multiple access points to provide coverage over a wide area. Access points can connect to a LAN through a wired Ethernet connection. Access points send and receive information from the LAN through this wired connection. 1.2 Peer-to-Peer Mode: A WLAN without Access Points In peer-to-peer mode, also called Ad Hoc Mode, wireless clients send and receive information to other wireless clients without using an access point. In contrast to infrastructure mode, this type of WLAN only contains wireless clients. You can use peer-to-peer mode to network computers in a home or small office, or to set up a temporary wireless network for a meeting. Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device Users Guide 1 Chapter 1. Introduction to wireless networking 1.3 Identifying a WLAN All the devices on a WLAN use a Network Name, or Service Set Identifier (SSID) to identify the WLAN. In peer-to-peer mode, an Independent Basic Service Set Identifier (IBSSID) identifies a WLAN. In infrastructure mode, an Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) identifies a WLAN. This guide uses SSID as a general term for both ESSID and IBSSID. All the devices on a WLAN must use the same SSID to communicate with other wireless devices. When installing an access point or wireless device in a wireless client, the software asks you to specify an SSID. 1.4 Identifying Devices on a WLAN A Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) uniquely defines each wireless device. The BSSID is the Ethernet Media Access Control (MAC) address of the wireless device installed in the wireless client. The MAC address is permanently set when the device is manufactured. MAC addresses determine the device sending or receiving data. A MAC address is a 48-bit number written as six hexadecimal bytes separated by colons. For example:

00:A0:F8:24:9A:C8 To view the MAC address of an Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB device, see the label on the back of the device. 1.5 Wireless Security Wireless networking devices transmit information through the air. Without implementing security, it is easy for an unauthorized person to intercept the information. A common way of implementing security and protecting information is encryption. Before sending information, the wireless client or access point encrypts or scrambles information using an encryption key. The device receiving the information uses the same key to decrypt or unscramble the information. The information is only readable to wireless devices that have the correct encryption key. The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard specifies the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption and decryption algorithm. The standard includes two levels of security, using a 40-bit key or a 128-

bit key. To implement WEP, use either one of these methods. For better security, use a 128-bit key. A 128-bit key has several trillion times as many possible combinations as a 40-bit key. For added security, change your keys often. Some vendors refer to 40-bit encryption as 64-bit. These are identical. A wireless device that claims to have 40-bit encryption interoperates with a device that claims to have 64-bit encryption. The same device, host computer or front-end processor usually performs both encryption and decryption. The algorithm, like the pattern of a lock, is standardized and may be used by anyone, but the encrypted data is unreadable without the appropriate key, which is known only by the sender and receiver of the transmitted data. You should change your keys often for added security. 1.6 Radio Basics IEEE 802.11 networking devices transmit and receive radio signals. Users communicate with the network by establishing radio links between mobile devices and access points, or between each other. 2 Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device Users Guide IEEE 802.11 devices use frequency modulation (FM) to transmit digital data from one device to another. The radio signal propagates into the air as electromagnetic waves. The receiving device demodulates the signal, which results in the original digital data. The radio devices transmit in the 2.4 to 2.5 gigahertz frequency range, a license-free range throughout most of the world. The actual range is country-dependent. 1.7 Intel PRO/Wireless LAN USB Software Intel PRO/Wireless LAN USB software consists of the Windows device drivers for the USB Device and the Wireless LAN Configuration Utility. The configuration utility allows you to evaluate device performance and display and modify the wireless LAN settings for the Intel PRO/

Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device. Settings include the operating mode, the SSID, transmission rate, and encryption keys used for wireless network communication. For the network device to function in a wireless LAN, you must change the settings to match the settings of other wireless devices in your network. Intel PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device Users Guide 3 Chapter 2. Using the Wireless LAN Configuration Utility Chapter 2.
