The SETUP.EXE file can be found on the utility CD. See “Configuration and Diagnostic Utility” on page 16 for more information.
Driver Installation5Driver InstallationThe driver and utility CD that comes with the package contains all the software drivers available for the Wireless PC Card. Windows 95/98/2000 Installation1. Insert the PC Card into a standard Type II or III PCMCIA slot in your device.2. Windows 95/98/2000 will automatically detect the new hardware and prompt you to install the driver needed. Click “Next” to find the driver.3. Insert the Driver and Utility CD, enter the drive letter of your CD drive, specify the the location of the driver, and click “Next.”
Wireless PC Card64. Click “Next” to copy files from the CD-ROM.5. To communicate with the 11 Mbps Wireless devices set the “Authentication Algorithm” to “Shared Key.” Products from some other vendors use the setting “Open System.” Use the same setting as the other devices in your network.
Driver Installation76. To set up an Ad-hoc wireless LAN (refer to page 13), set “Channel” to the same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an Access Station (Infrastrucure mode), then the card will automatically set to the same channel as that used by the Access Station. (Access Station default: 11.)7. Set “Network Type” to “802.11 AdHoc” or “Infrastructure” depending on the type of network you want to connect to (see page 13).
Wireless PC Card88. You may enable the “PowerSaveMode” for reducing power loading. (Default: Disabled)9. The IEEE 802.11b wireless standard defines a Collision Avoidance scheme which requires a wireless node to first send a Request To Send (RTS) signal and wait for a Clear to Send (CTS) response before transmitting.For small wireless networks, it is not necessary to add this extra delay. You should disable the RTS Threshold (by setting it to 2432.) However, for large wireless networks, or for networks that carry a lot of traffic, this protocol can avoid retransmissions and improve effective throughput. Set the RTS Threshold to the same as that used by the other devices in your network. (The Access Station default is “2432”; that is disabled.)
Driver Installation910. A service set consists of all the stations in a wireless network. ( See “Network Configuration and Planning” on page 13.) All of these stations should have their SSID set to the same value to identify stations within this network. (Default: ANY)11. For more secure data transmission, set the “Use Wep” to “128-bit” or “64-bit” to ensure wireless network security. The advanced Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this card to prevent unauthorized access. The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security but the setting must be the same for all clients in your wireless network. (Default: Disabled)12.

Network Configuration and Planning13Network Configuration and PlanningThe Wireless Solution supports a stand-alone wireless network configuration, as well as an integrated configuration with 10 Mbps Ethernet LANs.The WN3301G-P1 can be configured as:•Ad-hoc for departmental or SOHO LANs•Infrastructure for enterprise LANsNetwork TopologiesAd-hoc Wireless LANAn Ad-hoc wireless LAN consists of a group of computers, each equipped with one wireless adapter, connected via radio signals as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-hoc wireless LAN must therefore be configured to the same radio channel. An Ad-hoc wireless LAN can be used for a branch office or SOHO operation.Ad-Hoc Wireless LANNotebook withWireless USB AdapterNotebook withWireless PC CardPC with WirelessPCI Adapter
Wireless PC Card14Infrastructure Wireless LANThe WN3301G-P1 can also provide wireless workstations with access to a wired LAN. An integrated wired and wireless LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A Basic Service Set (BSS) consists of a group of wireless PC users, and an Access Station that is directly connected to the wired LAN. Each wireless PC in this BSS can talk to any computer in its wireless group via a radio link, or access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Station.The infrastructure configuration not only extends the accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also extends the effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by passing their signal through one or more Access Stations. A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database, or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following figure.FileServerSwitchDesktop PCAccess PointWired LAN Extensionto Wireless AdaptersPC with WirelessPC I AdapterNotebook with WirelessPC Card Adapter
Setting the Communication Domain15Setting the Communication DomainStationary Wireless PCs The Basic Service Set (BSS) is the communication domain for each Access Station. For wireless PCs that do not need to support roaming, set the domain identifier (SSID) for the wireless card to the SSID of the Access Station you want to connect to. Check with your administrator for the SSID of the Access Station you should connect to.Roaming Wireless PCs A wireless infrastructure can also support roaming for mobile workers. More than one Access Station can be configured to create an Extended Service Set (ESS). By placing the Access Stations so that a continuous coverage area is created, wireless users within this ESS can roam freely. All wireless adapters and Access Stations within a specific ESS must be configured with the same SS ID and to the same radio channel.Before setting up an ESS for roaming, you need to choose a clear radio channel and ideal location for the Access Stations to maximize performance.

(Default: “Infrastructure”)
Wireless PC Card18SSID - Input an SSID number if the roaming feature is enabled. (Default: “ANY”)Tx Rate - Indicates the communication rates. Select the appropriate transmission speed to match your wireless LAN settings. (Default: Fully Automatic)PS Mode - You can enable the Power Saving Mode to reduce power loading. (Default: Disabled)Channel - If you are setting up an Ad-hoc wireless LAN (see page 13), set the channel number to the same radio channel as that used by the other wireless clients in your group. However, if you are connecting to a network via an Access Station, then the channel is automatically set to that used by the Access Station which the PC Card connects to. The Access Station default is 11.11
Configuration and Diagnostic Utility19Encryption ScreenThe WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) implemented in the Wireless 3301G-P1 PC Card is based on an RC4 encryption algorithm. The security keys provided to ensure data confidentiality are four 10-bit keys for the 64-bit Wep setting and one 26-bit key for the 128-bit Wep setting. This WEP security protects your wireless LAN against eavesdropping and unauthorized access by hackers or unexpected intruders. If the WEP is in use, the WEP key is required for connecting to an Access Station or listening to messages that pass through the air.To use the WEP function, take the following steps:1. Click on the “Encryption” tab to set up the WEP security keys.2. Select “128 bit” or “64 bit” for the “WEP” field.3. Enter your passphrase to create the security keys.4. Then click on the “Apply” button to save the WEP keys.5. For 64-bit encryption select one encrypted key (from Key 1 to Key 4) as your default key.WEP - For more secure data transmission, select the “128 Bit” or “64 Bit” setting to use WEP security. The 128-bit setting gives a higher level of security, but the setting must be the same as that of other devices in your network. The advanced Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is implemented in this card to prevent unauthorized access. However, for normal use we recommend disabling WEP to improve performance. (Default: Disabled)
