Wireless-G USB Adapter 4 Overview The chapters in this User Guide descri be how to: • Install the Zoom Wireless-G USB adapter on a Wind ows ® PC • Connect to a wireless network • Enable securit.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructio ns 5 1 Installation Instructions This chapter provides sim ple instructions for installing the Wireless-G USB adapter on a Windows PC. If you ha ve already installed the adapter on a comput er (usi ng the separate Quick Start guide), you can ski p this chapter and begin with Chapter 2: Setting Security.
Installing and Connecting the Adapter Important! Install the software BEFORE you plug the Wireless- G USB adapter into your computer. 1 Insert the Wireless-G USB CD into the CD or DV D drive. The CD should start automati cally. Windows Vista: If the AutoPlay dialog box appears, click Run Setup.
Windows Vista: If a message tells you that Wind ows can't verify the publisher of the driver software, select Install this driver soft ware anyway . 5 At the prompt, click Finish and remove the CD. If the Zoom installation menu remains on scree n, click Exit .
2 In the Zoom Wireless-G USB window, click the Site Survey tab to see a list of available wireless net works. 3 Highlight the network you want and cli ck Join . If the network you select has security configured, you must enable and configure securi ty on your computer before you can connect.
Chapter 1: Installation Instructio ns 9 The Adapter LED The states of the LED on the Wireless-G USB adapter are explained below. LED Status Meaning Flashing The Wireless-G USB adapter is attempting to connect to a wireless net work. Steady The Wireless-G USB adapter is connected to a wireless network and is transmitting or receiving data.
2 Setting Security We strongly recommen d security, although you do not need to use it to get your wireless connection wo rking. Important! You must first enable secu rity on the the wireless access point. You then enable secu rity on the adapter using the same configuration that you used for the access poi nt.
This option requires you to enter an encryption key sh ared by the access point. • WEP ( W ired E quivalent P rivacy) Both the Open and Shared Authentication modes require WEP security. The most recent assessments of WEP advise choosing Open rathe r than Shared.
2 The Zoom Wireless-G USB configuration software open s to display the configuration paramete rs: 3 Make sure that the desired wirele ss network is displa yed in the Profile and SSID text boxes (the term <Infra> designates an Infrastructure network) and that the Net w ork Typ e is correct.
Chapter 2: Setting Security 13 • In the unlikely event that you use an Ad Hoc network, you must set up Static IP addressing. See Appendix A: TCP/IP Settings .
WP A2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) 1 In the Privacy Configuration windo w, click the Authentication Mode drop-down a rrow and select WPA2- PSK . 2 At Encryption Mode , accept the default: AES ( A dvanced E ncryption S tandard). 3 In the Pre-shared key [WPA] area, enter the same network key that is used on the wireless access point.
WP A - PSK (Pre - Shared Key) If all of the wireless devices in your network DO NOT supp ort the recommended WPA2-PSK, select WPA-PSK. 1 In the Privacy Configuration window, click the Authentication Mode drop-down a rrow and select WPA- PSK . 2 At Encryption Mode , accept the default: TKIP ( T emporal K ey I ntegrity P rotocol).
That’s it! You have configured WPA-PSK security for your wireless connection, and you’re rea dy to use the Internet. WEP (W ired Equivalent Privacy) 1 In the Privacy Configuration windo w, click the Authentication Mode drop-down a rrow and select Open (recommend ed) or Shared : The USB Adapter automatically select s WEP as the Encryption Mode.
Chapter 2: Setting Security 17 • Hexadecimal digits if an access point, router, or some adapters are not Zoo m products b c d In the Key Length drop-down lis t, select 128 bits , 64 bits , or 256 bits . Note: 128-bit and 256-bit WEP provide more security than 64-bit, but the longer keys could di minish network performance.
6 Click the Close box to exit the configuration software. That’s it! You have configured W EP secu rity for your wi reless connection, and you’re ready to use the Internet.
1 In the Privacy Configuration windo w, click the Authentication Mode drop-down a rrow and select WPA2 . 2 At Encryption Mode , accept the default AES ( A dvanced E ncryption S tandard) 3 In the IEEE 802.1X Authentica tion area, note that the check box marked Enable IEEE 802.
• TTLS ( T unneled T ransport L ayer S ecurity). With TTLS, you can select from four authentication e xtensions: PAP ( P assword A uthentication P roto col) CHAP ( C hallenge H andshake A uthentication P rotocol) MS-CHAP (Microsoft’s ve rsion of CHAP).
2 Accept the default Authentication Mode : TKIP ( T emporal K ey I ntegrity P rotocol). 3 In the IEEE 802.1X Authentication area, note that the check box marked Enable IEEE 802.
• PEAP ( P rotected E xtensible A uthentication P rotocol – the default). With PEAP, you can select from three authentication extensions: MS-CHAPV2 (the default). This is Microsoft’s version of CHAP (Challenge-Handsh ake Authentication Protocol.
Certificate (WP A2 and WP A) A certificate is issued to a wireless network user by a Certificate Authority – often the corporate network administrator – to confirm the user’s identity and thereby maintain the security o f the network.
W iFi™ Protected Setup (WPS) If your access point supports W iFi P rotected S etup (WPS), this protocol can greatly simplify t he process of configuring WPA2- PSK or WPA-PSK security.
Chapter 2: Setting Security 25 a You can select the Push Button option if your access point has a hardware Secure Setup o r similarly named button, or a virtual pushbutton on a software display. Before you initiate WPS by clicking Next, go to the access point and activate its pushbutton.
Wireless-G USB Adapter 26 Changing your Security Setting If the type of security on your wireless network cha nges, you need to modify your securit y settings. On the Configuration tab, click the Con figure Security button to select a different security option and enter the required information.
