Select “No” and click “Next” to see the root screen. - Click “Explore” then “Flash Disk” to see the content of the non-volatile storage area. - Download the driver CAB file to this Flash Disk directory. - Change the property of the driver CAB file to “Read-only”. - Double click on the driver CAB file to install the Marvell driver it in its default location. SStteepp 44:: DDiissccoonnnneecctt tthhee mmoobbiillee ddeevviiccee aanndd rreessttaarrtt - Remove the USB cable - Turn off mobile device. - Insert the radio if not already done so. - Turn on mobile device. You should see the generic WLAN icon (5 unfilled bars) with the red circle and slash indicating the radio driver has loaded but the radio is not associated to any AP. 5
SStteepp 55:: SSeettttiinngg uupp tthhee mmoobbiillee ddeevviiccee ttoo ccoonnnneecctt ttoo aa wwiirreelleessss LLAANN - Double click on the WLAN signal quality icon. - Click on the right arrow button to see the “Wireless Information” tab. - Click “Add New”. - Enter the SSID name of the AP. The example shows an unsecured connection to an AP with SSID “rf9150”. Click OK to save the settings. - The mobile device should now be associated with the desired SSID. SStteepp 66:: SSeettttiinngg uupp tthhee mmoobbiillee ddeevviiccee ttoo ccoonnnneecctt ttoo aa nneettwwoorrkk - Click on the left arrow key to see the “IP Information” tab. - Click “Configure” to see the IP “Address” window. - In most situation “Obtain an IP address via DHCP” will be checked. Click “OK” to close. - If no DHCP server is available then manually assign an IP address and subnet mask. 6
- If all goes well, you should see that the radio has taken an IP address and the signal quality icon no longer shows the red circle. . 3.0 Specification Hardware Host Interfaces Compact Flash Compatible Interfaces Compact Flash TypeΙI Form factor Compact Flash TypeΙI Chipset MARVELL 88W8385 + 88W8015 Operation Voltage DC 3.3V Network Standards IEEE 802.11g/b Modulation Techniques DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, 16QAM, 64QAM, Modulation Technology DSSS and OFDM Data Rate 802.11b: 11, 5.5, 2, 1 Mbps 802.11g: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6 Mbps Network Architectures Infrastructure and Ad Hoc Operating Frequencies 2.4 – 2.5 GHz 7
