Edimax Technology pmn802.11b/g WLAN USB adapter with Wi-Fi Detector - Manual (Page 6)

1 Introduction
Tha nk you for purc hasing this 802.11b/g WLAN USB adapter with Wi-Fi Detector. This
conve nie nt de vice insta ntly detects wireless hotspots anywhere. The backlig ht LCM display
tells the user detailed informatio n abo ut a ny detected hotspot. There’s no need to purc hase
any battery because there is a recharge able Li-Po ly mer battery whic h recharges whe ne ver
the detector is inserted into a ny USB port.
This Wi-Fi detector also allows the user to go online wirelessly a nd is desig ned to comply
with IEEE 802.11g Wireless LAN sta ndard. It is suitable for any laptop or desktop comp uter.
This detector supports 64/128/256-bit WEP data encryptio n that protects your wireless
network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 that
combines IEEE 802.1x a nd TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technolog ies. Clie nt
users are required to aut horize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data
transmitted in the network is encrypted/decrypted by a dynamica lly c ha nged secret key.
This adapter has b uilt-in AES e ngine whic h e ns ure the hig hest degree of security and
aut he ntic ity for digital informatio n a nd it is the most adva nced solut io n defined by IEEE
802.11i for the security in t he wireless network.
