Thank you for purchasing the Philips Wireless USB Adapter. This Wireless USB
Adapter is a WiFi (IEEE 802.11b/g) compatible USB device. It fully supports high data
rates up to 108 Mbps with automatic fallback to lower speeds for secure operation at
lower data rates in even the most difficult of wireless environments.
In this manual we will expand on how to install, configure, and use your Wireless
USB Adapter.
This chapter will give you background information on wireless networks and their
security in general.
What are wireless network connections?
Your wireless network adapter uses a wireless protocol (called IEEE 802.11b/g or
WiFi) to communicate with other network computers by means of radio
transmissions. WiFi radio waves travel outwards from the antenna in all directions,
and can transmit through walls and floors.Wireless transmissions can theoretically
reach up to 450 meters in an open environment and reach speeds of up to 108
megabits per second (Mbps) at close range. However, the actual network range and
data throughput rate will be less, depending on the wireless link quality.
Factors determining your network range and
network speed
• The environment: Radio signals can travel farther outside of buildings, and if the
wireless components are in direct line of sight to one another. Putting wireless
components in high places helps avoid physical obstacles and provides better
coverage.
• Building construction such as metal framing and concrete or masonry walls and
floors will reduce radio signal strength. Avoid putting wireless components next
to walls and other large, solid objects; or next to large metal objects such as
computers, monitors, and appliances.
• Wireless signal range, speed, and strength can be affected by interference from
neighbouring wireless networks and devices. Electro-magnetic devices such as
televisions, radios, microwave ovens, and cordless phones, especially those with
frequencies in the 2.4 GHz range, may also interfere with wireless transmission.
• Standing or sitting too close to wireless equipment can also affect radio signal
quality.
• Adjusting the antenna: Do not place antennas next to large pieces of metal,
because this might cause interference.
Securing your wireless network
As wireless computer networks use radio signals, it is possible for other wireless
network devices outside your immediate area to pick up the wireless signals and
either connect to your network or to capture the network traffic.Therefore, you
should always enable the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or WiFi Protected Access
(WPA/WPA2) network encryption key to help prevent unauthorised connections
or the possibility of eavesdroppers listening in on your network traffic.
For an example of how to secure your network, please see the chapter Securing
your wireless network.

What do the settings mean
The Philips Wireless Network Manager program has five main tabs with information
and settings.
Note: The Wireless On/Off button appears on the bottom of every tab to give you
control over enabling and disabling the wireless link.
• Configuration
The Configuration tab lets you manage your profiles, and gives you access to your
wireless network and encryption settings.
Select profile – A profile is a set of all settings needed for a particular wireless
connection. If you want to change between wireless networks, you can simply switch
from one saved profile to the other.
Use the New, Save and Delete buttons for managing your profiles.
Auto Save Profile On/Off
When Auto Profile is On, the New profile and Save profile buttons will be
disabled. After you Apply Changes a profile will automatically be created with your
network settings
The Configuration tab contains two sub-tabs: Common and Security. See below
for an explanation of the settings of these sub-tabs.
• Configuration – sub-tab Common
Network Name – Input a wireless network name for the wireless network to
which you want to connect. Alternatively, use the Site Survey tab to choose from the
list of available Network Names. (Default: philips.)
Operating Mode – Set the operation mode to Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer) for network
configurations that do not have a Wireless Router, and to Infrastructure for
configurations with a Wireless Router. (Infrastructure is the default setting.)
Transmit Rate – Auto will automatically negotiate the highest possible wireless
network speed. Or set a lower speed manually. Lower speeds will give better range.
Channel – If you are setting up an Ad Hoc wireless network, set the channel
number to the same radio channel as that used by the other wireless devices in your
group. However, if you are connecting to a network via a Router, then the channel is
automatically set to the channel of the Router to which the adapter connects. The
Channel can only be set when the Operating Mode is set to Ad Hoc (Peer-to-Peer).
Power Save – Click the box if you want to use power management to reduce your
portable computer's consumption of battery power and still keep the computer
available for immediate use.
IMPORTANT: All computers and wireless network devices in the same network
should have the same Network Name (SSID) and the same encryption key for
wireless security. In Ad Hoc mode, you must also specify the same radio channel for
all wireless devices.
EN

• Configuration – sub-tab Security
First, click the Security ON/OFF button to enable or disable wireless security.
Authentication Type – Choose WEP or WPA-PSK depending on the type of
wireless security in the rest of your wireless network.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and WiFi Protected Access
(WPA/WPA2) are implemented in the adapter to prevent unauthorized access to
your wireless network.
Key Type – For more secure data transmissions, set encryption to the highest
number of bits. E.g. a 128-bit setting gives you a higher level of security than 64-bit.
IMPORTANT: The setting must be the same for all clients in your wireless
network.
Use Passphrase – If Passphrase is selected, security keys for WEP encryption are
generated from your passphrase string. If encryption is set to 128 bit, only Key 1 is
generated. If encryption is set to 64 bit, Keys 1-4 are generated.You must use the
same Passphrase and Default Key settings on all the other routers in your network.
Note: A passphrase string can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
The WPA/WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) implemented in this Wireless USB
Adapter uses an alphanumeric password between 8 and 63 characters long. This
password may include symbols and spaces.
IMPORTANT: You must use the same encryption key throughout your network.
Apply changes – Click on “Apply changes” to activate the changes you made.
Key 1-4 – If the Key Type is set to Hex, the security keys are four 10 digit keys for
the 64-bit WEP setting and four 26-digit keys for the 128-bit WEP setting.
(The hexadecimal digits can be 0~9 & A~F, e.g. D7 0A 9C 7F E5.)
Default Key – Choose the Key ID that has the encryption string you prefer.
If you are using a key generated from the passphrase, you must use the same
passphrase and key on each wireless device.
• Link information
The Link information tab displays information on the wireless network name
(SSID) to which there is a wireless connection: the signal strength, Troughput history,
current connection speed, channel and Network Name ID (MAC).
• IP information
The IP information tab displays information on the Host Name,
IP Address, IP Netmask, and Gateway.
This window also contains buttons for releasing and renewing the IP address.
This is done to bring a computer back onto the network after moving it to a different
location, or after experiencing an unexpected outage.
First release, then renew the IP address. Computers on DHCP networks often (but
not always) re-establish network connectivity automatically.
EN
15
• Site Survey
Selecting the Site Survey tab displays a list of available wireless network access points.
Next, click Scan to update the list.
It shows you the following information:
• Network type shows the network setup
• The name of the wireless connection (Network Name, or SSID)
• Network mode shows which WIFI standard is used
• An icon reflecting if encryption is enabled
• Signal strength
• Channel that is used by the network
• MAC address of the device
Double-click one of the network names to open the Profile Wizard for establishing a
wireless connection with that network.
• Version information
Selecting this tab displays vendor and version information.

Read this chapter if you want to know how to interpret the terminology used in this
manual.
A network provides a means of communication between two or more computers
(and other devices) that are connected to each other through wired or wireless
means.
At each computer, you will need a network adapter or Network Interface Card
(NIC) to be able to connect the computer to the network cable. Examples are:
Ethernet cable
Ethernet notebook adapter
Already built-in
At each computer, you will need to install a WiFi wireless adapter to be able to
connect to another wireless enabled device. Examples are:
Wireless USB adapter
Wireless Notebook Adapter

In a network, the computers need to be able to connect to each other physically.
Therefore, another important network property is how the computers connect to
each other, either directly or through a central device.
ONE-ON-ONE WIRED NETWORK
also known as: Direct connection (max. 2 PCs)
NOTE: Use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect two computers directly to each
other.
WIRED NETWORK WITH MORE THAN 2 PCs
Use a hub or switch to connect more than 2 PCs to each other.
NOTE: Use straight-through Ethernet cables to connect the computers to the
central device (hub/switch).
HOW TO INTERCONNECT WIRED NETWORKS
Use a gateway router to connect one network to another (e.g. to the Internet, also
known as WAN).
ONE-ON-ONE WIRELESS NETWORK
Also known as: Ad Hoc / Peer-to-Peer
WIRELESS NETWORK WITH MORE THAN 2 PCs
Also known as: Ad Hoc / Peer-to-Peer
The wireless medium forms a hub in and of itself. No hardware hub is needed.
CONNECTING WIRELESS TO WIRED NETWORKS
also known as: Infrastructure / Access Point
Use a Wireless Router.
Central devices, like a hub, switch, router or wireless access point may be stand-
alone devices or built into a computer.
•A hub has multiple ports and serves as a central connection point for
communication lines from all computers on a wired network. It copies all data
arriving at one port to the other ports. A switch is similar to a hub, but is able to
handle different network speeds at each port.
• Gateway routers and wireless access points route network traffic from one
network to another (e.g. from a wired network to the Internet, or from a
wireless network to a wired network or to the Internet).

Glossary of terms
DHCP – Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically
configures the TCP/IP settings of every computer on your home network.
DNS Server Address – DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows
Internet host computers to have a domain name and one or more IP addresses.
A DNS server keeps a database of host computers and their respective domain
names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested, the user is sent to
the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the computers on your
home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned.
DSL Modem – DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your
existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet – A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10 million bits per second
(Mbps).
HPNA – Home Phone Line Networking Alliance, which is an association of
corporations (including ) working to ensure the adoption of a single, unified phone
line networking standard. Your Home Connect home network gateway is compliant
with HPNA Specification 2.0, which allows networking speeds of up to 1 million bits
per second (Mbps) using your existing home phone lines.
IP Address – IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of
four numbers separated by periods, that identifies an single, unique Internet computer
host. Example: 192.34.45.8.
ISP Gateway Address (see ISP for definition) – The ISP Gateway Address is an
IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. This address is required
only when using a cable or DSL modem.
ISP – Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to
the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN – Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network
is considered a LAN.
MAC Address – MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the
hardware address of a device connected to a network.
NAT – Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on
your home network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Home
Connect home network gateway, you can access the Internet from any computer on
your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
PPPoE – Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a method
of secure data transmission originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for
Ethernet connections.
Secondary Dial-Up – A secondary dial-up phone number is used by your ISP in
case your primary dial-up number has too many other customers accessing it.
The secondary dial-up phone number will be used if your primary dial-up phone
number cannot be accessed.
SPI – Stateful Packet Inspection. SPI is the type of corporate-grade Internet security
provided by your Home Connect home network gateway. Using SPI, the gateway acts
as a “firewall”, protecting your network from computer hackers.
Subnet Mask – A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers configured like an IP address. It is used
to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to
valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must assigned by
InterNIC).
TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is the standard
protocol for data transmission over the Internet.
WAN – Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in
geographically separate areas, (i.e., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet
is a wide area network.
