Configuring the Network PC Card for Windows NT

NOTE: In order to
check for potential
IRQ conflicts, run
WINMSD by selecting
RUN from the Start
menu and typing win-
msd.exe and pressing
the Enter key.

8. The Value for SSID depends

on what Network Type
selected in item 2. (SSID is
also commonly known as
ESSID.) If the Network Type
you have chosen is
"Infrastructure", it should
have the same SSID or ESSID
name as the Access Point. If
the Network Type is "Ad-
Hoc", all clients should share
the same SSID name. Click
Use Wep to continue or the
OK button to finish and con-
tinue to the Installing
Network Protocols section.

9. Select either Disabled, 40

bit, or 128 bit as the Value
under Use Wep. Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is
an encryption scheme used to
protect wireless data commu-
nication. The Disabled set-
ting prevents the sharing of
data with other computers on
a WEP Network. For data
sharing to be enabled, select
either 40 or 128 bit encryp-
tion, depending on your
needs. For further informa-
tion, see the Configuration
Utility section of this guide.
Once your card is configured,
click OK and continue.
