8.2 Detailed conﬁ guration

When conﬁ guring your Hama WLAN USB stick, it is useful to create a proﬁ le. A proﬁ le serves to save

various settings for a connection under a certain name. For example, if you want to connect to various wire-

less networks, you can save the settings for the networks in proﬁ les, which allows you to change

the conﬁ guration quickly.

8.2.1 Creating a new proﬁ le

You need the following information to create a proﬁ le (Proﬁ le):

• SSID (network ID): This is the name of the required network.

• Encryption Type: Encryption used in the target network

• (Network Type): (type of network): Infrastructure or ad-hoc

Open the Wireless Utility. Using the Network overview (Site survey) tab, you can select the required network

and then open the dialog box using the ADD PROFILE button, or open the Proﬁ le tab and start the dialog box by

clicking the ADD button.

First enter a name for your proﬁ le (Proﬁ le name).

Under SSID, select the network you want to connect to

from the list of available networks.

To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the

stick in Power saving mode. In this mode, certain

functions are deactivated or run at a lower setting if

they are not fully used. Select CAM (Constantly Awake

Mode), if you want to run the stick at full power all

the time.

This Hama WLAN USB Stick allows you to set up two different network types. Select Infrastructure under

Network type, if you want to connect to a router or access point. The settings for TX Power, RTS Threshold

and Fragment Threshold can be left at the default settings.

If you want to connect to another WLAN client device without a router or access point,

select 802.11 Ad-hoc.

The settings for TX Power, Channel, RTS Threshold and Fragment Threshold can be left at the

default settings.

8.2.2 Setting the wireless LAN encryption

First, it is important to understand a range of terms. The next section will explain the main terms

used here:

Authentication: Authentication is a process in which the identity, e.g. of a person is determined based on a

certain characteristic. This can be done by ﬁ ngerprint, password or any other proof of authorisation.

Encryption: Encryption is a process in which a plain text is transformed into a coded text via an encryption

process (algorithm). One or more codes can be used for this.
