SAGEM Wi-Fi 119 USB ADAPTER Quick Start Guide About this guide This Quick Start Guide describes how to install and operate your SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER. Please read this manual before you install the product. Introduction The SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER is a network adapter with a rate of 54 to 1 Mbps operating in the 2.4 GHz band implementing the IEEE 802.11g standard. Its USB port is USB 2.0 compliant It fully supports wireless networking under Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP or under Mac OS X2 or higher The Wireless LAN (Local Area Network) USB adapter can be operated in one of the two following networking configurations : In this mode, the radio links are coordinated by

1. Infrastructure Networking an Access Point enabling to access an existing

wired network and/or enabling to access to network resources such as Internet, email, file transfer.

2. Ad-hoc Networking Also known as a peer to peer network, this mode

allows wireless to wireless connection, enabling all workstations to act as servers to all others. This mode can be used to share a printer or for file transfer.

Configuration of your Wireless LAN USB to access to Internet After the two previous steps completion, your Wireless USB LAN adapter is now installed. You now have to configure your connection to be able to access via an access as seen below. pu "#4 Client 1 Access Point To do that, you will have to: + Launch the WLAN Utility management software + Configure your adapter in Infrastructure Mode + Setthe SSID of the wireless network on which you want to attach + Configure the encryption parameters if you want to protect your wireless network

1. Configuration to access to à Internet under Windows :

At first, you must verify that the computer, where you have installed your USB adapter is configured in DHCP (dynamic address) : + In the Network Connection tab of the Control Panel menu, click on the TCP/IP protocol of the Wireless network connection (SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB ADAPTER). + Select Obtain an IP address automatically in the IP Address tab. Open the WLAN utility To open the WLAN utility, you have two possible choices: + Select the “SAGEM Wi-Fi 11g USB adapter LAN Utility” from the S Start Menu of Windows, SAGEM Wi-Fi 119 USB adapter + Or double-click the corresponding icon laying on the Windows LAN Utility desktop : Pa: | icon then appears in the System Tray (in the bottom right corner of your task bar.

In the main screen of the Utility, click the down arrow at Network Type: [Infrastructure zl the right of the Network Type field and select “infrastructure” Selection of the SSID The SSID is a string of characters identifying a wireless network (it is the name of this network). To belong to a same wireless network, the client stations and the access point (connected to the Internet) have to use the same SSID. If you keep the SSID field to ANY (default value), your sp. fav adapter will attach itself to the nearest access point (or to the one sending the higher radio signal). If you know the name of the access point you want to associate with, enter this SSID in the corresponding field and then click “Apply” button to make the setting take effect. The SSID can be set up to 32 characters. It is case sensitive (please take great attention to that). Configuration of the Encryption parameters To prevent unauthorized wireless station from accessing data transmitted over your network, the Wireless LAN adapter offers secures data encryption, like “open” and “shared Key” authentication with WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption or WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access — Pre Shared Key) authentication with TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) encryption. The activation or not of the security has to be set on the same way on the Access Point and on your LAN USB adapter (client station).

Your network can only be operated in the 2 following conditions: + No security activated, neither in the Access Point, neither in the client stations + Security activated (recommended for securing your data) in the Access Point and on all client stations with the same characteristics of encryption.

1) Security disabled on Access Point.

If your Access Point works without security, your wireless LAN adapter also has to be set without WEP. Check in the main screen of the Utility that the Security Enabled check box is unchecked.

2) Security enabled on Access Point.

Beware that if you enable security on your adapter, you necessarily have to enable the type of security on the Access Point side, as well, if you want your adapter to be able to associate with it. Go the Configuration tab in the main screen of the Utility and activate the Security Enabled check box. The “Security” window then shows up. Here we will explain how to configure open security with WEP and WPA-PSK security with TKIP. 2.1) WEP encryption : In the window “ Security”, you will have to : + select authentication : Open + encryption is fix to WEP + disable IEEE 802.1X authentication mode + select the WEP type : 64 bits or 128 bits + select the index key

select the way to generate the encryption keys (from a passphrase or manually) Length of the WEP keys WEP protocol offers two levels of encryption: encryption based on 40 or 64 bits key length and more secure encryption based on 104 or 128 bits key length. The 40 bits keys and the 64 bits keys are the same, if their effective length is 64 bits, only 40 bits are selected by the user, the others bits are automatically calculated. Speak about 40 bits keys or 64 bits keys is the same thing. It is identical for the 104 and 128 bits keys. The principle of management is identical for both 64 bits and 128 bits. The key length has to be set at the same value on the Access Point and on the client station (Wireless LAN adapter in our case).

Creation of the WEP keys It is possible to manually enter the WEP key you want to use. However, this entry being rather tedious, especially for 128 bit keys, it is possible to have them generated automatically. To do that, you will have to enter a string of characters called "Passphrase". Create Encryption Keys by Using a “Passphrase”

2- Select in “key format” : “Passphrase”.

4- Enter the string in “Network key” and

“Confirm network key”. The key is generated from your string.

Fan Er cmemisitlone | eat late Configuration of the Encryption parameters To prevent unauthorized wireless station from accessing data transmitted over your network, the Wireless LAN adapter offers a highly secure data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The activation or not of this WEP encryption has to be set on the same way on the Access Point and on your LAN USB adapter (client station). Your network can only be operated in the 2 following conditions: + No WEP activated, neither in the Access Point, neither in the client stations + WEP activated (recommended for securing your data) in the Access Point and on all client stations with the same characteristics of encryption.

If your Access Point works without WEP encryption, your wireless LAN adapter also has to be set without WEP. Check in the Profile screen of your connection that the “Enabled WEP” check box is unchecked.

2) WEP enabled on Access Point.

Beware that if you enable WEP encryption on your adapter, you necessarily have to enable it on the Access Point side, as well, if you want your adapter to be able to associate with it. Go the Profile screen of your connection and check the “Enabled WEP” check box. In this window, you will have to : + Select one of the generated key (the same that has been selected in the Access Point) + Selectthe WEP type : 40 bits or 104 bits, + Generate the keys

Keys Selection You can create up to 4 encryption keys, but only one of them is active. To enter a key, first you must check the “Enabled Key Index” check box, select the WEP key index you want (index 0 for key 1...) then create the key. To select one of the key as active key, its index must be visible in the index screen before you click “Apply” button to make the setting take effect. Length of the WEP keys WEP protocol offers two levels of encryption: encryption based on 40 or 64 bits key length and more secure encryption based on 104 or 128 bits key length.

The key length has to be set at the same value on the Access Point and on the client station (Wireless LAN adapter in our case). Creation of the WEP keys There are two methods to set the WEP keys, Manually or by using a Apple Password : 40 Bits Hex (10 digits) : h u 104 Bits Hex (26 digits) Airport. They allow the user to type in a password (with no |, 40 gits ASCII (5 characters) This second method is there to be consistent with Apple's length restriction), and this value is converted into a 40-bit WEP key. lt uses apple's hashing algorithm to create the key, so it's compatible only with Airport base stations. To select this method, Pull down the Encryption (WEP) menu and select Apple Password, then enter the password.
