1Wireless 11g CardBus Card CB54G2 User’s GuideCB54G2 (MS-6835) - Wireless 11g CardBus CardCB54G2 (MS-6835), compliant with IEEE802.11g stand-ard, is compliant with IEEE802.11g, is a high-efficiencywireless adapter for wireless networking at home, in of-fice or in public places. The data rate can be up to 54Mbps and auto-negotiated to 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps(IEEE 802.11g), or 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps (IEEE802.11b).With CB54G2, you can roam between conference roomand office without being disconnected the LAN cables; inaddition, sharing files and printers can be easy tasks.The CB54G2 is available to Microsoft Windows operatingsystems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be inte-grated into networking with either Ad-hoc mode(computer-to-computer, without an Access Point) or Infra-structure mode (computer-to-access point, an Access Pointis required). >>> 1.1Introduction
2Wireless 11g CardBus Card CB54G2 User’s GuideHow CB54G2 WorksAd-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network,especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connec-tions. Therefore, some of the network devices are part ofthe network only for the duration of a communications ses-sion. Users in the network can share files, print to a sharedprinter, and access the Internet with a shared Gateway orAccess Point. In this kind of network, new devices can bequickly added; however, users can only communicate withother wireless LAN devices that are in this wireless LANworkgroup, and are within range.>>> 1.2CB54G2Wireless 11g CardBus Card CB54G2Wireless 11g CardBus Card
3Wireless 11g CardBus Card CB54G2 User’s GuideInfrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastruc-ture network and Ad-hoc network is that the former oneincludes an Access Point. In network environment, the Ac-cess Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize band-width utilization. Moreover, the Access Point enables userson a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network,allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired net-works resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, andprinter sharing. The scale and range of the Infrastructurenetworking are larger and wider than that of the Ad-hocnetworking.CB54G2Wireless 11g CardBus CardCB54G2Wireless 11g CardBus Card
