1 Introduction
You are about to install a networking system that is not only fast and
powerful, but also easy to set up and simple to maintain. In a short time you and
those in your network will be able to share a local printer and files, access the
Internet, and roam about the office wire-freely.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN devices transmit and receive
data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs
combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through simplified
configuration, enable movable LANs.
This wireless networking solution has been designed for both large and
small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can easily add more users and
new network features as your business grows.
This software installation guide will assist you in installing Wireless mini-PCI
module application.
2 Wireless LAN Basics
Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be
Configure as: Ad Hoc wireless LAN or Infrastructure wireless LAN.
Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN adapter, called a BSS
(Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN adapter to communicate
with each other directly.
The most obvious differentiation between Infrastructure wireless network and Ad
Hoc wireless network is that the notebooks in Infrastructure wireless network can
make use of the resource in the Internet through Access Point.
To set up your notebook’s network as the type of “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure”
wireless network depends completely on your requirement. Generally, if your network
environment has an Access Point, it’s recommend that you set it as “Infrastructure”
mode to connect to the Internet.
3 Drivers and Utility Installation
This section describes the procedures for installing Wireless mini-PCI module.
Before You Start
Before installation, please check your system in advance and make sure that the
Mini PCI is installed with your Notebook. Consult to your dealer for the existence,
compatibility or installation of Mini PCI module with your Notebook.
Note: To prevent potential problems during installation, please use the auto-run
installation tool on the CD to finish the driver installation before you plug The
WLAN Module into the computer.
All drivers and supporting software for Wireless mini-PCI module must be installed
and configured.
Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may need
during driver installation:
•
•
•
•
Your Wireless LAN SSID.
Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name
For your network account, your user name and password.
Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask. (If you’re not using a
DHCP server)
•
Every computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There
are two methods to assign network addresses to computers on a TCP/IP
network:
•
•
Static IP addressing
Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP)
In networks with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually assigns
an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, a computer
uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network. You may
manually change the IP address in the Network Properties dialog box. Networks
using static IP addresses are easy to set up and do not require additional network
management software.
In networks with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network
dynamically assigns IP addresses to all clients every time they log on to the network.
Network using dynamic IP addresses require setting up and running a DHCP Server.

6.Glossary
IEEE 802.11 Standard
The IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN standards subcommittee, which is formulating a
standard for the industry.
Access Point
An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks
together.
Ad Hoc
An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter,
connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a
departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation.
BSSID
A specific Ad Hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must
be configured with the same BSSID.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol - a method in which IP addresses are assigned
by server dynamically to clients on the network. DHCP is used for Dynamic IP
Addressing and requires a dedicated DHCP server on the network.
Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
This is the method the wireless adapters use to transmit data over the frequency
spectrum. The other method is frequency hopping. Direct sequence spreads the data
over one frequency range (channel) while frequency hopping jumps from one narrow
frequency band to another many times per second.
ESSID
An Infrastructure configuration could also support roaming capability for mobile
workers. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS).
Users within an ESS could roam freely between BSSs while served as a continuous
connection to the network wireless stations and Access Points within an ESS must be
configured with the same ESSID and the same radio channel.
19
Ethernet
Ethernet is a 10/100Mbps network that runs over dedicated home/office wiring. Users
must be wired to the network at all times to gain access.
Gateway
A gateway is a hardware and software device that connects two dissimilar systems,
such as a LAN and a mainframe. In Internet terminology, a gateway is another name
for a router. Generally a gateway is used as a funnel for all traffic to the Internet.
IEEE
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
Infrastructure
An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration.
Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database,
or wireless application for mobile workers.
ISM Band
The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for
unlicensed use in the so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band.
Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide.
This presents a truly revolutionary opportunity to place convenient high-speed
wireless capabilities in the hands of users around the globe.
Local Area Network (LAN)
A LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with the appropriate network adapter
adapter connected by cable/air that share applications, data, and peripherals. All
connections are made via cable or wireless media, but a LAN does not use telephone
services. It typically spans a single building or campus.
Network
A network is a system of computers that is connected. Data, files, and messages can
be transmitted over this network. Networks may be local or wide area networks.
Protocol
A protocol is a standardized set of rules that specify how a conversation is to take
place, including the format, timing, sequencing and/ or error checking.
SSID
A Network ID unique to a network. Only clients and Access Points that share the same
SSID are able to communicate with each other. This string is case-sensitive.
20
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol is the network management protocol of TCP/IP.
In SNMP, agents-which can be hardware as well as software-monitor the activity in the
various devices on the network and report to the network console workstation. Control
information about each device is maintained in a structure known as a management
information block.
Static IP Addressing
A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static
IP address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each
computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address
every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
TCP/IP is the protocol suite developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA). It is widely used in corporate Internet works, because of its superior design for
WANs. TCP governs how packet is sequenced for transmission the network. The term
“TCP/IP” is often used generically to refer to the entire suite of related protocols.
Transmit / Receive
The wireless throughput in Bytes per second averaged over two seconds.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
A WAN consists of multiple LANs that are tied together via telephone services and / or
fiber optic cabling. WANs may span a city, a state, a country, or even the world.
