Planning your Wireless LAN
There are two usage modes for Wireless LAN, Ad-hoc mode and Infrastructure mode.
Please review your need and build your Wireless LAN.
Ad-hoc Networking
Ad-hoc network also is called Peer-to-Peer network. Without Access Point, notebook users
with WLAN MiniPCI Card can build Ad-hoc Peer-to-Peer wireless networks to share files
with each other, share a public office printer and other peripheral resources, even access
the Internet via a modem.
Infrastructure Networking
802.11b-compatible Access Point is a bridge or routers connecting to the wired Ethernet
network and wireless network. Through the deployment of Access Point, wireless LAN can
be extended to the reach of a wired network. Therefore, a notebook user with WLAN
MiniPCI Card can access to fixed local network resources.

Installation
Installation for Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows 2000
Before installing the driver, you will need a copy of the operating system installation media,
usually a CD supplied with your computer or operating system.
On Windows 98 systems, the installation files are sometimes archived on the hard disk in
C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS. On Windows 2000 systems, the system may prompt you to
load operating system files from the Windows 2000 installation disk. Installation under
Windows 95 is identical to the procedure given above for Windows 98 and Windows 2000.
Only Windows 95 OSR2 or higher is supported.
The Setup program also installs Configuration Utility in the WLAN MiniPCI Card in the
Program directory. This configuration utility can help you to understand and maintain your
Wireless LAN.
Install Driver
Step 1: Insert the WLAN MiniPCI Card into the MiniPCI socket of Notebook.
Step 2:. Turn on your computer.
Step 3: Windows finds a new hardware shown WLAN MiniPCI and asks for the driver of
WLAN MiniPCI Card. The driver installation wizard guides you through the steps standard
for your operating system.
Step 4: You will be asked to supply CDs or directory path information for the driver. This
driver shall be located in the following directory.
D:\
(if D:\ is your CD-ROM drive)
Step 5: Windows finds the driver described as WLAN MiniPCI Card. Follow the directions of
Windows dialog boxes to complete the driver installation. After completing the installation,
Windows dialog will display Systems Setting Change and ask to restart the notebook. Click
“Yes” to reboot the computer.

Restart the computer and ensure ireless LAN Configuration Utility CD in the CD-ROM
drive.
-3-
You can run the program manually by selecting Run from the Start menu and running
SETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM drive.
D:\ SETUP.EXE (if D:\ is your CD-ROM drive)
2.
On the WLAN MiniPCI Card– Installation screen, click next to start software installation.
Read the information in the Welcome dialog box and click “Next”. Then, click ““Yes”” if
you accept the Software License Agreement.
3.
Enter the name of the Wireless LAN Service Set of the wireless network (SSID) to
which your computer will connect. The name you enter here must match exactly the
name assigned to the access point. Characters, capitalization, and spacing must be
identical.
NOTE: If the access point you wish to associate with has encryption active, you must
also enable encryption on the wireless client. Click Encryption in the Configuration
Utilities after reboot to go to screens where you can enable and configure encryption.
You must set the wireless client for the same Encryption algorithm and Key values as
the access point it will associate. Refer to the Advanced Configuration section for more
details about configuring encryption
4.
Select which network mode is suitable for your Wireless LAN. Infrastructure Mode is
default selection. This setting can be changed at any time after installation completion.
5.
Accept the default program folder or select where the SETUP.exe stores the
Configuration Utility.
6.
Select ““Yes”, I want to restart my computer now”. Reboot your computer by clicking
Finish.

Configuration
Mode (Network Mode)
1. Ad-Hoc: The Ad-Hoc network is also known as a peer-to-peer network. An Ad-Hoc
networking does not need Access Point. Instead, the Ad-Hoc network is a loose
association of wireless computers that can communicate with each other using Wireless
LAN MiniPCI Card in Ad-Hoc Mode
2. Infrastructure: In a wireless infrastructure network, wireless stations communicate with
an Access Point to connect to a wired network. An infrastructure network also can
consist of multiple Access Points. This can extend the coverage area of wireless
network. In this configuration, the wireless network consists of cells. Each cell is a single
Access Point that has different frequency channel to prevent from interfering each other.
A wireless station can move from one Access Point to next without losing the network
connection.
SSID
The SSID is the name of wireless network for Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure mode. To add a
Wireless LAN MiniPCI Card to an existing wireless network, configure SSID to match the
name of the wireless network
Tx Rate
The Fixed 1, 2, 5.5, 11Mb/s or Fully Auto transmit rates can be selected for Wireless LAN
Card. Basically, the Fully Auto setting allows the MiniPCI Card to automatically switch to a
higher Tx rate for better throughput in most environment. A fixed rate setting does not allow
MiniPCI Card to re-transmit at a lower rate even as a result of many retransmissions.
PS Mode (Power Saving Mode)
Enabling power saving mode can extend the battery life of the mobile notebook by allowing
the MiniPCI Card to sleep, minimizing the power consumption.
Channel
WLAN MiniPCI Card supports up to 14 channels. However, the number of available
channels varies in different countries and regions. The Access Point must be set to a
channel. To avoid radio interference, adjacent Access Point within the same infrastructure
network (the same SSID) should set to different channel. The channels of Access Points
must be at least five channels apart, while the Wireless LAN MiniPCI Cards automatically
use the same channels as the Access Point and roams between APs in the same wireless
network.
-5-
Encryption
The Wireless LAN MiniPCI Card uses WEP encryption to protect wireless data
communications.
Encryption Selection
WEP uses a combination of 40-bit keys or 128-bit keys to provide security for every data
transmission. In order to decode a data transmission, an identical WEP key must be used by
each wireless client on the network. Choose Enable or Disable to activate the security of
wireless network.
