Frequently Asked Questions - P 6132-07 Pentagram

How do I install the Pentagram P 6132-07 USB adapter?

Insert the driver CD, run the autorun, and select Install PENTAGRAM horNet. Follow the wizard: accept license, choose to install driver with utility, select Ralink Configuration Tool, then click Install. Restart if prompted. Finally, plug the adapter into a USB port.

What should I do if the adapter is not detected?

Ensure the USB port is working. Try a different USB port. Reinstall the driver by uninstalling the current one from Device Manager, then restart and run the setup again. Check that you have the correct driver for Windows version.

How can I connect to a Wi-Fi network using this adapter?

Double-click the RaUI icon in the system tray. Go to the Network Tab, select your network from the list, and click Connect. You may need to enter security keys if prompted. Alternatively, create a profile in the Profile Tab.

What security options are supported?

The adapter supports WEP (64/128/152-bit), WPA, WPA2, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-EAP, WPA2-EAP, and PEAP. Encryption methods include TKIP and AES. Configure these in the profile's Auth. & Encry. Tab.

Why is my connection slow or unstable?

Check signal strength in RaUI. Move closer to the router. Avoid interference from other electronics. Ensure you are using the correct wireless mode (802.11g/n). Update drivers to the latest version. In the Advanced Tab, enable TX Burst and TCP Window Size for better performance.

How do I configure the adapter in Ad-Hoc mode?

In the Profile Tab, click Add. Set Network Type to Ad hoc. Choose a channel and SSID. Ensure both adapters have the same SSID and channel. In Ad-Hoc, one client should establish the BSS first, then others join.

The LED is not lighting up. What does that mean?

If the LED is off, the adapter is not connected to any wireless network. Check if the Wi-Fi radio is enabled (RaUI Radio On/Off Tab). Ensure the adapter is properly inserted and drivers are installed. If still off, try reinstalling drivers.

Can I use this adapter with a virtual machine?

Compatibility depends on the virtual machine software. Generally, USB pass-through is supported, but driver installation may be required inside the VM. Some features like WPS may not work. Check your VM documentation.

How do I reset the adapter to factory defaults?

There is no hardware reset button. To reset settings, uninstall the driver and utility, then reinstall fresh. Delete any saved profiles in RaUI under the Profile Tab. You can also remove credentials in the WPS Tab.

What is the range of the adapter?

The specified range is up to 300 meters in open space. Actual range depends on obstacles, interference, and antenna placement. For best range, keep the adapter elevated and away from metal objects.

Profile configuration - 8021X Tab

Settings on this Tab allow configuring IEEE 802.1x protocol. All information can be obtained from wireless network administrator. Appearance of this Tab depends on options selected from EAP Method and Tunnel Authentication lists.

• PEAP - Protect Extensible Authentication Protocol. PEAP transport securely authentication data by using tunneling between PEAP clients and an authentication server. PEAP can authenticate wireless LAN clients using only server-side certificates, thus simplifying the implementation and administration of a secure wireless LAN.
• TLS/Smart Card – Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based and session-based WEP keys to secure subsequent communications between the WLAN client and the access point.

• TTLS – Tunneled Transport Layer Security. This security method provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server side certificates.
  EAP-FAST – Flexible Authentication via Secure Tunneling. It was developed by Cisco. Instead of using a certificate, mutual authentication is achieved by means of a PAC (Protected Access Credential) which can be managed dynamically by the authentication server. The PAC can be provisioned (distributed one time) to the client either manually or automatically. Manual provisioning is delivery to the client via disk or a secured network distribution method. Automatic provisioning is an in-band, over the air. Distribution for tunnel authentication, only support "Generic Token Card" authentication now.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that may occur during the installation and operation of the Wireless PCI/USB/Cardbus Adapter. Read the descriptions below to solve your problems.

1. The Wireless PCI/USB/Cardbus Adapter does not work properly.

• Reinsert the Wireless Adapter into your PC's PCI/USB/Cardbus slot (Remember to unplug PC from power outlet before installing or removing PCI adapter).
• Right click on My Computer and select Properties. Select the device manager and click on the Network Adapter. You will find the Adapter if it is installed successfully. If you see the yellow exclamation mark, the resources are conflicting. You will see the status of the Adapter. If there is a yellow question mark, please check the following:
• Make sure that your PC has a free IRQ (Interrupt Request, a hardware interrupt on a PC.)
• Make sure that you have inserted the right adapter and installed the proper driver. If the Adapter does not function after attempting the above steps, remove the adapter and do the following:
• Uninstall the driver software from your PC.
• Restart your PC and repeat the hardware and software installation as specified in this User Guide.

2. I cannot communicate with the other computers linked via Ethernet in the Infrastructure configuration.

• Make sure that the PC to which the Adapter is associated is powered on.
  • Make sure that your Adapter is configured on the same channel and with the same

3. What should I do when the computer with the Adapter installed is unable to connect to the wireless network and/or the Internet?

• Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are indicating normal activity, if not, there may be a problem with the broadband connection.
• Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router or AP are functioning properly.
• Check that the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings are correctly entered for the network.
• In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients and access points.
• In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients associated to

- Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is configured properly.

- If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys are entered on both the Adapter and the access point.
