2. The configuration program introduction and operation on Windows 2000/XP
Open the Hama Configuration Program. To do so, click Start -> Programs -> Hama Wireless LAN ->
Hama Wireless LAN Utility. If the program is already running in the background, you will nd in the
task bar at the bottom right of the screen:
Click the circled symbol to open the utility
from the task bar. The Hama Wireless LAN
Utility starts with the following screen,
whereby the values in the columns may be
different. This screen shows all available
wireless networks. The SSID, which is
used to identify WLAN devices in the
respective wireless LAN, the router MAC
address (BSSID), the signal strength, the
channel used, the encryption algorithm
and the authentication and the type of net-
work are displayed. The lower section of
this window shows the connection status
(Connected / Disconnected). Click Update
to search for wireless networks again.
5
2.1 Quick configuration
First, select the required network by clicking the corresponding line in the list. The network selected
is highlighted in blue in the list. Now click the Connect button.
You are connected to the network if the selected network is run without encryption and the signal is
strong enough. This is indicated by the green symbol and Connected is shown in the status window.
If the network you selected is encrypted, another window opens in which you can enter the
encryption data. The data must be identical to the router or access point settings. The authentication
type and encryption are generally already selected in accordance with the target network. Enter the
code which must correspond exactly with the code used by the router or access point.
Click Ok to confirm after you make your entries.
If you do not have this code yourself, please contact the person responsible for configuring the router
or access point.
For detailed information on setting encryption, please see Page 8, under the heading:
Setting the wireless LAN encryption.
If you have made these entries successfully, a green symbol is also displayed to indicate the
successfully connection in the network overview.
For further information on the connection made, open the Status tab. It contains information on the
Connection quality, Signal strength or Interference level.
2.2 Detailed configuration
When configuring, it is useful to create a profile. A profile serves to save various settings for a
connection under a certain name. For example, if you want to connect to various wireless networks,
you can save the settings for the networks in profiles, which allows you to change the configuration
quickly.
2.2.1 Creating a new profile
You need the following information to create a profile:
SSID (network ID): This is the name of the required network.
Encryption used in the target network
Network type (type of network): Infrastructure or ad-hoc
6
There are two basic ways to create a profile:
Version 1 : Change to the Profile tab and click Add.
or
Version 2 : Open the Site Survey tab. All networks are listed in this tab. Select the
required network in the list and click Add to profile.
For hidden networks only:
If the SSID eld is empty, the router or access point is set to hide the network.
The SSID cannot therefore be copied automatically.
In both cases, the following window is
displayed on the screen:
The device supports the infrastructure and
ad-hoc network types.
Infrastructure: Select this type if you want
to connect this wireless LAN device to a
wireless LAN router or access point.
Ad-hoc: Select this type if you want to
connect directly to another wireless LAN
client device, e.g. another USB stick or a
WLAN PCI card without a wireless LAN
router or access point.
Two WLAN client devices are required
for this.
2.2.1.1 Infrastructure mode
First enter a name for your profile (Profile name), e.g. “PROF1”.
If you have selected version 1 to create the new profile, you must enter the network ID (SSID) of the
target network in the SSID eld. This is in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or
you can ask the person in charge. If you have selected version 2, the SSID has already been copied
automatically from the network overview.
To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the device in Power saving mode. In this mode,
certain functions are deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select Constantly
Awake Mode if you want to work at full power all the time.
7
Select Infrastructure under network type. This mode facilitates connection to a wireless LAN router
or access point. The settings for TX Power, RTS Threshold and Fragment Threshold can be left at the
default settings.
If your network uses encryption, switch to the Authentication and Security tab and continue
configuration under Setting wireless LAN encryption.
If your network is not encrypted, click OK to accept the settings. To activate the profile created,
switch to the Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate.
2.2.1.2 Ad-hoc mode
First enter a name for your profile (Profile name), e.g. “PROF1”.
If you have selected version 1 to create the profile, you must enter the network ID (SSID) of the
target network in the SSID eld. This is in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or
you can ask the person in charge. If you have selected version 2, the SSID has already been copied
automatically from the network overview.
To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the device in Power saving mode. In this mode,
certain functions are deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select Constantly
Awake Mode if you want to work at full power all the time.
Select Ad-hoc under network type. This mode allows you to connect to other wireless LAN client
devices, e.g. USB sticks, PCI cards or cardbus. The settings for TX Power, Preamble, RTS Threshold
and Fragment Threshold can be left at the default settings. Ad-hoc WLAN mode allows you to set the
standard to be used. This depends on the other devices used in your network. You can then select eit-
her 802.11b (11Mbps) only: Then this standard only is used; 802.11g (54Mbps) only: Then this standard
only is used; or 802.11b/g: If this is selected, both standards are supported. If you are unsure which
standards your devices support, you should use the mixed mode. You must also set the wireless LAN
channel used under Channel. In Europe, there are 13 channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency range.
If your network uses encryption, switch to the Authentication and Security tab and continue
configuration under Setting wireless LAN encryption.
If your network is not encrypted, click OK to accept the settings. To activate the profile created,
switch to the Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate.
8
2.2.2 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 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. It must also be
mentioned that each individual encryption process offers one or more authentication options.
Please switch to the Authentication and Security tab.
This device can be used with the following
encryption types:
64 and 128 bit WEP encryption
WPA and WPA2 encryption
Note!!! Encryption is deactivated
by default. However, for security
reasons, we recommend that you
always use encryption.
2.2.2.1 WEP encryption
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It both controls the
access to the network and guarantees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable
due to a range of weaknesses.
9
If you want to use WEP encryption, select
WEP under encryption. Two options are
available for the Authentication type under
WEP.
Select Open if all clients are to be enabled
for WLAN. Now there is virtually no other
authentication.
Select Shared if you want to use authen-
tication with the challenge response
process. A shared code is used for authen-
tication in this method. All WLAN users
must know this code.
All other selection options under Authenti-
cation type are meaningless under WEP.
You can now store four codes in the lower section of the window. The selected code is always used.
64 bit or 128 bit encryption is supported. 128 bit encryption is more secure. First select whether you
want to use Hex (allows characters from 0-9 and a-f to be used) or ASCII characters (You can use any
characters). The setting and the selection of either 64 or 128 bit encryption determines the length of
the code to be entered.
WEP 64 bit ASCII requires 5 characters
WEP 128 bit ASCII requires 13 characters
WEP 64 bit HEX requires 10 characters
WEP 128 bit HEX requires 26 characters
Examples: 64 bit Hex (10 characters) = 231074a6ef
64 bit ASCII (5 characters) = j31n.
128 bit Hex (26 characters) = 231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3
128 bit ASCII (13 characters) = urlaub2006.+0
10
2.2.2.2 WPA/WPA2 encryption
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method for WLAN. WPA contains the WEP
architecture, but offers additional protection via dynamic codes, which are based on the
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP), and also offers pre-shared keys (PSK) or extensible
authentication protocol (EAP) for user authentication. However, a radius server is required for this.
WPA2 is a development of WPA and uses a different encryption algorithm, advanced encryption
standard (AES).
WPA offers two types of authentication, either pre-shared key or authentication via special
authentication protocols, which are generally variations of EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
An authentication server (RADIUS server) is used for the latter authentication method, which is rarely
used for private applications. Your administrator can give you the information you require to configure
this authentication method.
The pre-shared key method is more common and offers a high degree of security.
To use WPA encryption, select WPA-PSK
under Authentication type and TKIP under
Encryption. Now enter the code used in the
WPA preshared key eld. The code
entered must be absolutely identical with
that used in the network. It must be min. 8
and max. 63 random characters for ASCII.
Letters (A-Z), numbers and punctuation
marks can be used. 64 characters are
required for HEX, whereby only characters
from 0-9 and a-f can be used. If you do
not have this code, it can be found in your
router/access point or you can ask the
person responsible for these devices. Save
the settings and click OK.
11
To use WPA2 encryption, select WPA2-
PSK under Authentication type and AES
under Encryption.
Now enter the code used in the WPA
preshared key eld.
The code entered must be absolutely iden-
tical with that used in the network. It must
be min. 8 and max. 63 random characters
for ASCII. Letters (A-Z), numbers and
punctuation marks can be used. 64 cha-
racters are required for HEX, whereby only
characters from 0-9 and a-f can be used. If
you do not have this code, it can be found
in your router/access point or you can ask
the person responsible for these devices.
Save the settings and click OK.
To activate the profile created, switch to the Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate.
3. Installation and configuration under Windows
Vista
Before installation, please save any open
documents you may be working on. Then close all
running programs. Insert the CD-ROM provided in
the drive. Usually, the CD starts automatically. If the
menu does not start automatically,
double-click the corresponding CD-ROM drive icon
in My Computer.
Remark: Please click Run autorun.exe if the
window Auto Play appears when the CD-ROM
has been inserted. The following window opens
after the program starts: Select the required language.
12
Click Install (Win Vista).” The message “An unidentified
program wants access to your computer” appears. Allow
access by clicking Allow”. Click -> Next in the next
window Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard…”.
Continue with Install and connect the WLAN stick with
your computer.
Wait until the window InstallShield Wizard completed
appears and nish with Finish.
3.1 Operation of the Windows Vista configuration program
Click the symbol with the two computer monitors in the task bar with the left mouse button:
Afterwards, you can establish connections to existing WLAN
networks. Click Wireless networks are available for this purpose.
Wait a minute if this option cannot be selected. Please check if the
WLAN router or Access Point is operational if this does not help.
The found networks are displayed now. Select the correct network
and click Connect”.
Remark concerning hidden networks: the name is not shown in this
case. Instead of that, it is called Unnamed Network”. When the
connection has been established, you are asked for the name.
Afterwards, you are mostly asked to enter
the network security key. For reasons
of safety, we advise you against using
uncoded networks. Click Connect for
confirmation. Windows establishes now
the connection to the desired WLAN.
Afterwards, you can store the network
and start it automatically next time. The
connection is so automatically established
in future. Finish the configuration by
clicking with the mouse Close”.
13
3.2 Setting up an Ad-hoc network
This enables direct connections to another Wireless LAN Client device, e.g. a USB stick or a WLAN PCI
add-in card. No wireless LAN router or Accesspoint is required for this. If such a network already exists,
you can establish a connection with this one as described above. If it is to be set up a new, so that other
users can connect themselves, you have to proceed as described below:
Click the symbol with the two computer monitors in the task bar with the left mouse button:
Click “Connect to a network”, “Set up a connection or network” and then Set up a wireless Ad hoc
(computer-to-computer) network”. Confirm with -> Next -> Next.
In the next window, you are asked to enter
data concerning the network name and the
security type. More information is shown
if you move the mouse cursor towards the
appropriate eld. Additional remarks concer-
ning the network name and WPA2 security
key. Here, you should only use letters from
A-Z, as well as numbers from 0-9.
Confirm your specifications with -> Next ->
Close.
4. Configuring the operating system and computer (Windows)
After you have successfully installed the network adapter, you still have to install or configure a
protocol. This protocol governs the data exchange between the computer and the network. TCP/IP
is most common. Each computer has to be assigned its own address for the protocol. Automatic
address assignment is only reliable if a DHCP server exists in the network, e.g. a router or access
point. If you have one of these devices with a DHCP function, you should leave the setting on “Get
automatically”.
Proceed as follows to check the settings on your PC:
Start -> Settings -> Control panel -> Network connections
14
Select the connection (network adapter) via which
your PC is connected to the router, e.g. “LAN con-
nection”. When you right-click the corresponding
connection, the following screen is displayed when
you select Properties.
Select the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) entry in the list
and click Properties.
Select Optain an IP address automatically
and Optain DNS server address automati-
cally, if there
is a DHCP server in your network. Confirm
by
clicking OK, and again in the subsequent
window.
Your PC is now configured such that the
router assigns the IP address automati-
cally.
If you do not have a device with an inte-
grated DHCP server, you must assign the
IP addresses manually. The following exa-
mple describes basic setup using manual
address assignment. For local networks,
special address ranges are provided which
are not transmitted over the internet. As an
example, a range that you can use for your
network is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254. The
rst PC is assigned the address 192.168.1.1,
the second 192.168.1.2, the third 192.168.1.3,
etc.
15
Select Use the following IP address and enter your IP address in accordance with the sample.
1.PC = IP address 192.168.1.1 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
2.PC = IP address 192.168.1.2 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Click Ok to confirm your entries.
5. Uninstalling the driver and configuration program on Windows
Select Start => Settings => Control Panel => Software
To do so, select Hama Wireless Utility and click Remove. At the next prompt, click Remove
completely. Remove the device from your computer when prompted to do so. Afterwards click OK.
The program is now deleted from your computer.
After the software is removed, you may have to restart the system. Save all open documents and
close all programs before restarting the PC.
6. Installing the driver and configuration program on MAC OS X
Before installation, please save any open documents you may be working on. Then close all running
programs. Ensure that you have administrator authorisations to enable you to install the driver

8.2 Detailed configuration
When configuring, it is useful to create a profile. A profile serves to save various settings for a
connection under a certain name. For example, if you want to connect to various wireless networks,
you can save the settings for the networks in profiles, which allows you to change the configuration
quickly.
8.2.1 Creating a new profile
You need the following information to create a profile (Profile):
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 Profile
tab and start the dialog box by clicking the ADD button.
First enter a name for your profile (Profile 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
device 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 device 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.
