ASUS WLAN Card

Encryption

This provides wireless data transmissions with a level of security. This option

allows you to specify a 64-bit or a 128-bit WEP key. A 64-bit encryption contains

10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters. A 128-bit encryption contains 26

hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.

64-bit and 40-bit WEP keys use the same encryption method and can interoperate

on wireless networks. This lower level of WEP encryption uses a 40-bit (10

hexadecimal digits assigned by the user) secret key and a 24-bit Initialization

Vector assigned by the device. 104-bit and 128-bit WEP keys use the same

encryption method.

All wireless clients in a network must have identical WEP keys with the access

point to establish connection. Keep a record of the WEP encryption keys.

Extended Service Set (ESS)

A set of one or more interconnected basic service set (BSSs) and integrated local

area networks (LANs) can be congured as an Extended Service Set.

ESSID (Extended Service Set Identier)

You must have the same ESSID entered into the gateway and each of its wireless

clients. The ESSID is a unique identier for your wireless network.

Ethernet

The most widely used LAN access method, which is dened by the IEEE 802.3

standard. Ethernet is normally a shared media LAN meaning all devices on the

network segment share total bandwidth. Ethernet networks operate at 10Mbps

using CSMA/CD to run over 10-BaseT cables.

Firewall

A rewall determines which information passes in and out of a network. NAT can

create a natural rewall by hiding a local network’s IP addresses from the Internet.

A Firewall prevents anyone outside of your network from accessing your computer

and possibly damaging or viewing your les.

Gateway

A network point that manages all the data trafc of your network, as well as to the

Internet and connects one network to another.
