Instant Wireless TM Series
Network PC Card
Chapter 1: Introduction
T h e I n s t a n t W ir e le s s T M N e t w o r k P C C a r d v e r . 3 . 0
Put the “mobile” back into mobile computing! Whether you’ re at your desk or
in the boardroom, the Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card allows you to share
printers, files, and other resources anywhere within your L A N infrastructure,
increasing your productivity and keeping you “in touch.”
T he Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card now has a new, higher-powered
antenna that provides a greater range than ever. T he increased sensitivity helps
filter out interference and “noise” to keep your signal clear. Improved error
correction in the chipset keeps you operating at higher transmission rates for
longer distances. A nd, since you only need one T ype II or III PCMCIA slot,
you’ re free to use your other slots for additional accessories.
R eady to run in Type II or III PCMCIA -equipped notebook PCs running
Windows 95, 98, Millennium, NT , 2000, and X P, the Instant Wireless™
Network PC Card ver. 3.0 is truly a “must-have” for all notebook PC users.

Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless
Network
Network Topology
A wireless LAN is exactly like a regular LAN, except that each computer in the
LAN uses an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 to connect to the
network through a wireless connection. Computers in a wireless LAN must be
configured to share the same radio channel.
The Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 provides LAN access for
wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an
Infrastructure configuration. A group of Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card
ver. 3.0 users and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each
PC equipped with an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 in a BSS can
talk to any computer in a wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.
An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of an Instant
Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 PC to a wired LAN, and doubles the
effective wireless transmission range for two PCs equipped with an Instant
Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0. Since the Access Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure
LAN is doubled.
Roaming
Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More
than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). This continuous network allows users to roam freely within an ESS. All PCs, equipped
with an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0, within one ESS must be
configured with the same ESS ID.
Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, selecting a feasible radio
channel and optimum Access Point position is recommended. Proper Access
Point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance performance.

Chapter 3: Installing the Drivers
and Configuration Utility for
Windows 95, 98, ME, and 2000
Before You Start
Your new Linksys Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 comes with an
automated software installation procedure for Windows 95, 98, Millennium,
and 2000. Windows NT or XP users should refer to the next section. This
new procedure automatically installs the drivers and Configuration Utility
before you insert the Card into your PC, so there’s no searching for the location
of drivers. Again, this step is taken before inserting the Card into your PC.
Running the Auto Driver Installation
1. Before installing your
card, insert the Setup
Utility CD into your
CD-ROM drive. Unless
you have deactivated the
auto-run feature of
Windows, the screen
shown in Figure 2-1
should appear automatically.
Figure 2-1
If this screen does not appear automatically, you can access the installation
by clicking the Start button and choosing Run. In the drop-down box provided, type D:\setup.exe (where D: is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).
Alternately, double-click My Computer and double-click the CD-ROM
drive where the Setup Utility CD is located. Double-click the Setup.exe icon
in the folder that appears.
