1Introduction>>> 1.1 MU54G (MS-6865) - Wireless 11g miniUSB 2.0 AdapterMSI MU54G (MS-6865) is a miniUSB 2.0 type adapter andsuitable to be embedded in a notebook or PC system. Its auto-fallback data rate and zero-config features provide a transparentand easy-configured wireless connectivity for end users as con-necting to the LAN backbone.Compliant with IEEE802.11g, MSI MU54G is a high-efficiencywireless adapter for wireless networking at home, in office or inpublic places. The data rate can be up to 54 Mbps and auto-negotiated to 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps (IEEE 802.11g), or 11,5.5, 2, 1Mbps (IEEE802.11b).With MU54G, you can roam between conference room and of-fice without being disconnected the LAN cables; in addition,sharing files and printers can be easy tasks.MU54G is available to Microsoft Windows operating systems(Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be integrated into net-working with either Ad-hoc mode (computer-to-computer, with-out an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (computer-to-access point, an Access Point is required).
2Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network orother small network, especially one with wireless or temporaryplug-in connections, in which some of the network devices arepart of the network only for the duration of a communicationssession. Users in the network can share files, print to a sharedprinter, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In thiskind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however,users can only communicate with other wireless LAN comput-ers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and are withinrange.>>> 1.2 How MU54G WorksMU54GWireless 11g miniUSB 2.0 AdapterMU54GWireless 11g miniUSB 2.0 Adapter
3Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastructurenetwork and Ad-hoc network is that the former one includes anAccess Point. In an Infrastructure network, the Access Point canmanage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Addi-tionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN toaccess an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to takeadvantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet,email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of theInfrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of theAd-hoc networking.MU54GWireless 11g miniUSB 2.0 AdapterMU54GWireless 11g miniUSB 2.0 Adapter
