Before You UseviiBBeeffoorree yyoouu uusseeThis Wireless LAN Card is an IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN adapter. It allows your computer to connect to a wirelessnetwork and to share resources, such as files or printers without being bound to the network wires. Operating in2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio transmission, the Wireless LAN Card transfers data atspeeds up to 11Mbps. Both Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure mode are supported. For network security concern, 64/128-bitWired Equivalent Protection (WEP) algorithm is used. In addition, its standard compliance ensures that it cancommunicate with any 802.11b networks.This User’s Manual contains information on how to install and configure your Wireless LAN Card. Your WirelessLAN Card will allow you to connect your computer to other Wireless LAN Card equipped computers.Wireless LAN BasicsThis section conations some Wireless LAN basics to help you better understand how the product work together tocreate a wireless network.LLooccaall AArreeaa NNeettwwoorrkk ((LLAANN))Simply put, a LAN is a network that exists in a relatively limited area. A network is two or more computersconnected together sharing files and peripheral devices such as printers.The Wireless LAN Card allows you to interact with other computers without having to run cables normallyassociated with networks. This lets you move your computer around while staying connected to your network.There are two ways to use the Wireless LAN Card. One way is to connect directly to one or more Wireless LANCard equipped computers, forming an Ad Hoc wireless network. The second way is to connect to an Access Pointthat gives you access to an existing wired LAN, forming an Infrastructure wireless network.AAdd HHoocc NNeettwwoorrkkThe Ad Hoc network offers peer to peer connections between workstations, allowing communication betweencomputers within range that have an 802.11b DSSS compatible PC card installed. A wireless Ad Hoc network canalso access a wired LAN’s TCP/IP service (such as e-mail and the Internet) by using a TCP/IP software on anEthernet equipped PowerBook or notebook.IInnffrraassttrruuccttuurree NNeettwwoorrkkThe infrastructure network uses an access point (or several access points) as a gateway, linking the wireless networkto a wired LAN. As a result, portable workstations or desktops on your wireless network have access to all of thefeatures of your wired LAN including e-mail, Internet access, network printers and files server.RRooaammiinnggMultiple Access Points can be installed to extend the wireless service coverage area for seamless wireless access.Within an extended service area, all Access Points and wireless clients must have the same Service Set Identity(SSID). Roaming among different Access Points is controlled automatically to maintain the wireless connectivity atall times.
