The EPSON DNUB-E1 is a compact and cost-effective 802.11n USB dongle designed to connect various devices to a WiFi network. Its small form factor makes it suitable for bundling with TVs, set-top boxes, personal video recorders, and other consumer electronics.
The DNUB-E1 serves as a WLAN a/b/g/n USB2.0 Adapter, providing wireless networking capabilities to compatible devices. It supports both Infrastructure Mode and Ad Hoc Mode, allowing for flexible network configurations. In Infrastructure Mode, devices communicate through an Access Point (AP), enabling connections to wired networks and other wireless stations within a Basic Service Set (BSS). In Ad Hoc Mode, also known as "peer-to-peer mode" or "Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS)," devices communicate directly with each other without the need for an Access Point. It's important to note that Ad Hoc Mode is only available for 802.11b/g and not for 802.11a. The device is a client product and does not have radar detection functionality as specified by FCC, meaning the software will prevent its use in ad-hoc mode under 802.11a.
The device operates on 802.11n standards, supporting a/b/g/n wireless modes. It connects via a USB 2.0 interface. System requirements for a laptop PC include:
The device supports various security options including WPA, WPA-PSK, 802.1x, and Pre-Shared Key, as well as an option for no security. WPA and 802.1x require IT administration and support EAP types like TLS and PEAP. WPA-PSK requires a passphrase of at least 8 printable ASCII characters. Pre-Shared Key allows for manual entry of encryption keys with lengths of 10 hexadecimal digits (40/64 bit) or 26 hexadecimal digits (104/128 bit), or 5/13 ASCII characters respectively.
Power management features include "Off," "Normal," and "Maximum" settings in Infrastructure Mode to minimize power consumption. "Off" keeps the PC Card powered up at all times, "Normal" allows it to sleep less often for shorter periods, and "Maximum" enables more frequent and longer sleep cycles. Power saving is not available in Ad Hoc mode.
The device supports 802.11b Range options: "Normal Range" and "Extended Range." Extended Range can prolong the transfer range at a lower data transmitting rate. Scan Modes include "Active Scan," "Passive Scan," and "Auto." Active Scan sends probe requests, while Passive Scan listens for beacons. Transmit Power settings allow users to adjust the output power to increase or decrease the coverage area. QoS (Quality of Service) can be enabled or disabled to cooperate in a network using QoS. For 2.4 GHz Preamble, options are "Short and Long" and "Long only," which is useful for compatibility with 802.11b RoamAbout AP wireless networks.
For the USA/Canada market, the device operates only on channels 1-11, and selection of other channels is not possible. The device and its antennas must not be co-located or operate in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except in accordance with FCC multi-transmitter product procedures. It is restricted for indoor use.
The device is managed through a WLAN Configuration Utility.
The manual provides instructions for configuring various network settings and security protocols, which are essential for maintaining a secure and functional wireless connection. It also includes FCC and IC statements, which outline regulatory compliance and important usage guidelines, such as minimum separation distances for radiation exposure (20 cm between the radiator and the user's body). These guidelines are crucial for user safety and device compliance. The device is designed for indoor use only. The manual emphasizes contacting the network administrator for correct security settings and WEP key information, indicating that network-level support might be needed for certain configurations.
