Chapter 1
Introduction
The WM820-B is quad-mode wireless network adapter that works on all the frequencies allocated for
WLAN operation everywhere in the world. It is in compliance with the Draft IEEE802.11n standard in a
2x3 MIMO configuration. It also complies with the IEEE 802.11a, standards. WM820-B features the
compactness and high bus speed of the Mini PCI specifications which gives users of laptops, notebooks,
tablet PCs, and other mobile computing devices transparent Internet access anywhere in the world
through any Wi Fi network without software changes or additional hardware.
Able to provide greater than 100Mbps real world throughput using high-speed spatial multiplexing
modes, the WM821-M provides the freedom to work as you wish, wherever you wish, using whatever
kind of application you wish to use. The adapter installs directly in any host device with a Mini PCI slot:
just plug it in and you’re ready to access local resources and/or the Internet at the highest speed the
WLAN, the location, and the host computer can provide. It is ready to work “out of the box” in any
embedded device or in any computer running Microsoft® Windows 2000, or XP. The WM820-B Mini
PCI Card is truly a “must-have” for every productivity-sensitive laptop, notebook, or tablet PC user and
any bandwidth-sensitive embedded design..

WiFi-Protected Setup(WPS)-supportedWhat is Wireless LAN?
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great number of advantages over traditional wired
systems. WLANs are flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also more economical than
wired LAN systems.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data through the air. WLANs
combine data connectivity with user mobility. For example, users can roam from a conference room to
their office without being disconnected from the LAN.
Using WLANs, users can conveniently access shared information, and network administrators can
configure and augment networks without installing or moving network cables.
WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost saving features:
•
Mobility: WLANs provide LAN users with access to real-time information anywhere in their
organization, providing service opportunities that are impossible with wired networks.
•
Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and expert users alike, eliminating the need to
install network cables in walls and ceilings.
•
Scalability: WLANs can be configured in a variety of topologies to adapt to specific applications
and installations. Configurations are easily changed and range from peer-to-peer networks
suitable for a small number of users to full infrastructure networks of thousands of users roaming
over a broad area.

for different working environments. The default profile will contain the initial configuration setting when you
install the Card. Under the Operating Mode drop-box, you may choose either Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc.
The Infrastructure mode allows a wireless adapter to communicate with a wired network employing an
Access Point, while the Ad-Hoc mode allows wireless-to-wireless, peer-to-peer communication. If you
choose Infrastructure, the SSID should have the same name as the Access Point. If you choose Ad-Hoc,
all clients should share the same SSID name. You can select Enabled Power Saving Mode to allow your
adapter to go to sleep mode while the adapter doesn’t precede the data transmission. Or select Disabled
to make the adapter never go to sleep mode. Click Apply to save the settings.

Appendix A – FAQ
1.
What is IEEE 802.11 standard?
The IEEE 802.11 is a wireless LAN industry standard, and the objective of IEEE 802.11 is to
make sure that different manufactures’ wireless LAN devices can communicate to each other.
2.
What is WEP?
As described in the IEEE 802.11 standard, WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy
mechanism based on a 40 bit shared key algorithm.
3.
Windows cannot recognize the CardBus Wireless LAN Card.
Please make sure that the LAN Card is inserted into the CardBus slot of your notebook
properly (check this when the notebook is powered off).
Please check if PC Card support is installed. Double-click the PC Card icon on Control Panel.
If PC Card support is not activated, you should activate it now.
4.
In Infrastructure mode, my notebook cannot communicate with the others notebooks on the
network.
First, make sure that the SSID is same as the others notebook.
Check if the WEP is enabled on the Access Point, if it is, set your Adapter’s WEP the same as
the Access Point.
Also check the Access Point’s Authentication Type and Preamble Type and match those
settings.
5.
In ad-hoc mode, my notebook cannot communicate with the others notebooks on the
network.
Make sure the SSID and the Channel number are the same as other wireless stations.
Check if WEP settings are the same in all wireless stations.
Check the Network Properties, make sure proper protocol is installed and File and Printer
Sharing is enabled.
