WPS Configuration Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the latest wireless network technology which makes wireless network setup become very simple. If you have WPS-enabled wireless access point, and you want to establish a secure connection to it, you don't have to configure the wireless access point and setup data encryption by yourself. All you have to do is to go to the WPS setup page of this wireless card, click a button, and then press a specific button or enter a set of 8-digit code on the wireless access point you wish to establish a secure connection - just three simple steps!For older wireless access points, it's possible to perform a firmware upgrade to become a WPS-enabled access point. Since they may not have a hardware button to press for WPS setup, you can use an alternative WPS setup method - input the pin code. Every WPS-compatible wireless network card support pin code configuration method; you can just input the code to wireless access point, and the wireless access point and wireless network card will do the rest for you. To use this function, the wireless access point you wish to connect to must support WPS function too. Now, please follow the following instructions to establish secure connection between WPS-enabled wireless access point and your wireless network card. 34 WPS Setup - PBC (Push-Button Configuration) 1. Right-click the Hawking configuration utility icon located at lower-right corner of computer desktop and then click `Launch Config Utility'. 2. Set `Config Mode' to `Enrollee', and then push the `WPS' button on your wireless access point (the button used to activate WPS standby mode may have another name), or use other way to start WPS PBC standby mode as the instruction given by your wireless access point's user manual. In this mode, this wireless network card will wait for other WPS-enabled access points to send WPS pairing requests. Please refer to the instruction given by your wireless access point's user manual to understand how to send WPS requests. Before you start to establish the wireless connection by using WPS, you can click `Rescan' button to search for WPS-enabled access points near you again, to make sure the WPS function of your access point is activated. 35 All access points with WPS function enabled will be displayed here. You can also click `Information' button to see the detailed information about selected access point. Start PBC pairing procedure at access point side (please refer to the instruction given by your access point's manufacturer), then click `PBC' button in wireless configuration utility to start to establish wireless connection by WPS. Please be patient (This may require several seconds to one minute to complete). When you see `WPS status is connected successfully' message, means the connection between this wireless network card and access point is successfully established by WPS, and the information about access point you connected to will be displayed. [. . . ] Direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted. The longer the chip is, the greater the probability that the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the radio can recover the original data without-the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. [. . . ]
