Supported network setup
You can use 802.11b/g USB 2.0 Mini-Card WLAN Module in various wireless network
configurations. We recommend you to select the most appropriate configuration for your home
or office network before setting it up.
1.3.1 Ad-Hoc mode
Ad-Hoc wireless networks bring together
workstations and computers to act as
servers to all other users on the network
without complex infrastructure, setup or
administration. Users on the network can
Mobil station 2
ADSL Modem
share files, printers. When in ad hoc mode,
the
802.11b/g USB 2.0 Mini-Card
WLAN Module connects to another
wireless device within its effective range
and communicates with each other in the
same LAN workgroup. Select this
RealTek RTL8187L
Mobil station 1
configuration when no access point is
present in your wireless network.
1.3.2 Infrastructure mode
Mobil station 1
The biggest difference between
infrastructure mode and ad-hoc mode is
ADSL Modem
that it includes an access point. In
infrastructure mode, an access point
establishes the network that provides
wireless links in the validating range for
clients to communicate with each other or
with a wired network to the internet. On an
Access Point
RealTek RTL8187L
infrastructure network, the access point
may manage the bandwidth to maximize utilization. Infrastructure networking has the following
advantages over ad-hoc networking:
Range Extension
2-4
Each wireless LAN enabled computer within the range of the access point can communicate
with other wireless LAN enabled computers within the valid range of signal from the access
point.
Roaming
A wireless LAN enabled computer can physically move from the operating range of one
access point to another without losing connection to the LAN. A quick association
“hand-shake” is made between the new access point and the wireless device as the
computer traverses from the coverage of one access point to another.
Wired to wireless LAN connectivity
Access point establishes the bridge between wireless LAN and other wired counterparts.
1.3.3 Software access point (Soft AP)
You could configure
802.11b/g USB 2.0
ADSL Modem
Mini-Card WLAN Module as a software
access point (soft AP). In this mode, the
RealTek RTL8187L
802.11b/g USB 2.0 Mini-Card WLAN
Module acts as the access point that
provides wireless links in the validating
range to client stations to the internet.
Your system should satisfy the following
two requirements to apply this mode:
Access Point
Mobil station 2
Mobil station 1
The system you use already connects
to the internet or intranet through another one Ethernet adapter.
You are using Windows® 2000, XP or Server2003 operation system
