Introduction
>>> 1.1 UB11BM(MS-6823A) - Wireless 11b
Internal USB Adapter
The MSI Wireless 11b Internal USB Adapter UB11BM (MS6823A, hereafter called UB11BM), compliant with IEEE802.11b,
is a high-efficiency wireless adapter for wireless networking at
home, in office or in public places. This hot-plug, USB-interface
adapter connects directly to any USB-ready desktop/notebook
computers, so that you can share files, printers, and high-speed
access the Internet over your existing wireless network easily,
without disassembling your computer.
The UB11BM has a data rate up to 11Mbps, and can auto-negotiate to 5.5, 2, 1Mbps to be compatible with any IEEE 802.11b
device.
The UB11BM is available to Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be integrated into
networking with either Ad-hoc mode (computer-to-computer,
without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (computerto-access point, an Access Point is required).
>>> 1.2 How UB11BM Works
Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network or
other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary
plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are
part of the network only for the duration of a communications
session. Users in the network can share files, print to a shared
printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this
kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however,
users can only communicate with other wireless LAN computers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are within
range.
Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructure
network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes an
Access Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point can
manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to
access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take
advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet,
email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the
Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the
Ad-hoc networking.
