Click Update to search for wireless networks again.
2.1 WPS Automatic configuration
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) is a function that makes the security
configuration of the Wireless LAN connection easier. In order to be able
to use the function, the router/access point and the remote station (WLAN
USB stick, PCI card or PCMCIA card) must have the WPS function. To
carry out the security configuration, proceed as follows:
The router/access point specifies which encryption and which key is
used. The encryption entered here applies to all users of the network.
There are two methods:
a) Configuration using the button
Press the WPS button on the router/access point. Within two minutes, you must press the PBC button on the WPS tab page in
the WLAN adapter’s configuration program. The connection is now established automatically.
b) Pin code
Make a note of the pin code, which is displayed in the WLAN adapter’s configuration program. Select the target network in the
upper list and then click PIN. Switch to the user interface of the router. If your router supports this method, you will fi nd an entry
fi eld for the pin code in the WPS settings. Enter the code you noted earlier and start the transmission. The connection is now
established automatically.
If the connection is successful, a profile is created, which is restored automatically when you reconnect.
For detailed information on setting encryption, please see Page 6, under the heading: Setting the wireless LAN encryption.
2.2 Detailed configuration
When configuring your USB stick, 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.
5
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
There are two basic ways to create a profile:
Version 1 : Change to the Profile tab and click Add.
or
Version 2 : Open the Network 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 fi 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:
This USB stick allows you to set up two different 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 fi 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 stick in Power saving mode (PSM). In this mode, certain functions are
deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select Constantly Awake Mode (CAM) if you want to work at full
power all the time.
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 fi 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 stick in Power saving mode (PSM). In this mode, certain functions are
deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select Constantly Awake Mode (CAM) 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. You must also set the
wireless LAN channel used under Channel. In Europe, there are 13 channels in the 2.4 GHz frequency range.
6
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.
2.2.2 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 fi 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 guaran-
tees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable due to a range of weaknesses.
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 authentication with the challenge re-
sponse process. A shared code is used for authentication in this method.
All WLAN users must know this code.
All other selection options under Authentication 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 64 bit HEX requires 10 characters
WEP 128 bit ASCII requires 13 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
7
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 fi 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.
To use WPA2 encryption, select WPA2-PSK under Authentication type
and AES under Encryption. Now enter the code used in the WPA
preshared key fi 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.
To activate the profile created, switch to the Profiles tab, select the profile and then click Activate.

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 connec-
tion is so automatically established in future. Finish the configuration by
clicking with the mouse “Close”.
3.3 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

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 fi eld. Additional remarks concerning
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
Select the connection (network adapter) via which your PC is connected to the
router, e.g. “LAN connection”. 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.
10
Select Optain an IP address automatically and Optain DNS server
address automatically, 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
automatically.
If you do not have a device with an integrated DHCP server, you must
assign the IP addresses manually. The following example 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 fi rst PC is assigned the address 192.168.1.1, the second
192.168.1.2, the third 192.168.1.3, etc.
Select Use the following IP address and enter your IP address in accor-
dance 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.

8.2 Detailed configuration
When configuring your Hama WLAN USB stick, it is useful to create a profile. A profile serves to save various settings for a con-
nection 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.
13
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 stick 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 Hama WLAN USB Stick 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.
If you want to connect to another WLAN client device without a router or
access point, select 802.11 Ad-hoc.
The settings for TX Power, Channel, RTS Threshold and Fragment Threshold can be left at the default settings.
8.2.2 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 fi 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.
Now switch to the Advanced tab.
Wireless mode allows you to set the standard to be used. This depends on the other devices used in your network. You can choose
either 802.11 B only mode (11 Mbps): Then this standard only is used; or 802.11 B/G mixed mode up to 54 Mbps): Both standards are
then supported; If you are not sure which of the standards your devices support, you should use the mixed mode (802.11 B/G mixed
mode). Make all other settings as shown in the image below.
Click Apply to confirm your entries.
This device can be used with the following encryption types:
64 and 128 bit WEP encryption WPA Encryption
Note!!! Encryption is deactivated by default.
However, for security reasons, we recommend
that you always use encryption.

8.2.2.1 WEP encryption
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a standard encryption algorithm for WLAN. It both controls the access to the network and guaran-
tees the integrity of the data. This method is considered vulnerable due to a range of weaknesses.
If you want to use WEP encryption, select the following settings:

Select Shared if you want to use authentication with the challenge re-
sponse process. A shared code is used for authentication in this method.
All WLAN users must know this code.
All other selection options under Authentication 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 Hexadecimal (allows
characters from 0-9 and a-f to be used) or ASCII (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 64 bit hexadecimal requires 10 characters
WEP 128 bit ASCII requires 13 characters
WEP 128 bit hexadecimal requires 26 characters
Examples: 64 bit hexadecimal (10 characters) = 231074a6ef
64 bit ASCII (5 characters) = j31n.
128 bit hexadecimal (26 characters) = 231074a6b9773ce43f91a5bef3
128 bit ASCII (13 characters) = urlaub2006.+0
