With one PCCard, you can connect with the 2.4GHz, 802.11b wireless networks so prevalent in homes, businesses and public “hotspots” already, and also a growing number of 5GHz, 802.11a networks that are spreading across the country. It’s simple to use. Just pop it into a PCCard slot, and run the included Setup Wizard, which will walk you through the configuration. To keep your communications secure, the PCCard supports up to 152-bit data encryption. 802.11b wireless networks are commonly found in corporate environments and are used in homes for household Internet connectivity without the need for running cables. They’re also popping up all over the country in coffee shops, air-ports, hotels, convention centers, and other public spaces offering “on-the-go” connectivity to mobile users. The 802.11a standard is almost five times faster than 802.11b, and operates in the less crowded 5GHz radio band, but it’s not as common — yet. It is quickly being deployed wherever higher-speed connectivi-ty is desired. Join the wireless revolution. With the Linksys Dual-Band Wireless Notebook Adapter, you’ll be ready to connect to either type of wireless network, wherev-er you go, now and in the future. •Connects to Either 802.11b (2.4GHz) or 802.11a (5GHz) Networks without Changing Adapters •Up to 152-bit WEPEncryption •Easy-to-use Setup Wizard •Detailed Monitoring and Performance Utility •802.11b and 802.11a Compliant •Free Technical Support — 24 Hours a Day, 7 Days a Week, Toll-Free US Calls •1-Year Limited Warranty The Dual-Band Wireless A+BNotebook Adapter Features Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless Network A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area net-work (LAN), except that each computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to connect to the network. Computers in a WLAN share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name for wireless devices. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two different modes in which they may be set up: infrastructure and ad-hoc. An infrastructure configura-tion is a WLAN and wired LAN communicating to each other through an access point. An ad-hoc configuration is wireless-equipped computers com-municating directly with each other. Choosing between these two modes depends on whether or not the wireless network needs to share data or periph-erals with a wired network or not. If the computers on the wireless network need to be accessed by a wired network or need to share a peripheral, such as a print-er, with the wired network computers, the wireless network should be set up in infrastructure mode. (See Figure 2-1.) The basis of infrastructure mode centers around an access point, which serves as the main point of communications in a wireless network. Access points transmit data to PCs equipped with wireless network cards, which can roam within a certain radial range of the access point. Multiple access points can be arranged to work in succession to extend the roaming range, and can be set up to communicate with your Ethernet (wired) hardware as well. Network Topology Ad-Hoc versus Infrastructure Mode Figure 2-1 If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only with the other computers on the wireless network, then the ad-hoc mode can be used. (See Figure 2-2.) Ad-hoc mode allows computers equipped with wire-less transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other, elimi-nating the need for an access point. The drawback of this mode is that, in Ad-Hoc mode, wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate with computers on a wired network. And, of course, communication between the wireless-equipped computers is limited by the distance and interference direct-ly between them. Chapter 3: Getting to Know the Dual-Band Wireless A+ B Notebook Adapter Chapter 4: Software Installation and Configuration The Dual-Band Wireless A+B Notebook Adapter Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation procedure. The Setup Wizard will install the WLAN Monitor and Device Driver, as well as configure the Adapter. Flash alternately Insert the Setup Wizard CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The Setup Green.
