1-5 Applications
The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some
of the
many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:
1. Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires can not or not easily be laid. Historic buildings, older
buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or
very expensive.
2. Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recovery, temporary office and
construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.
3. The ability to access real-time informatios
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information
while
dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
4. Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the

workplace.
5. Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
6. Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves,
extensions to
networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
7. Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications
running
on wired networks.
8. Training/Educational Facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access
to information, information exchanges, and learning.
1-6 Network Configurations
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it
might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The
wireless LAN
products can be configured as:
1. Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.
2. Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.
3. IP Sharing for 56K/ISDN TA/Cable/DSL Modem – Connect Internet and your SOHO network.
Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration that several computers equipped with the PC Cards that
form a
wireless network whenever they are within range of one another (Figure 1-2). In ad-hoc mode,
each client, is peer-to-peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and
requires no the access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a
wireless network.

Figure 1-2 A wireless Ad-hoc network
Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless
communications between two computers have to be via the AP no matter the AP is wired to
Ethernet network or stand-alone. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of
independent wireless LANs by acting a repeater, which effectively doubling the distance between
wireless stations as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3
Extended-range independent WLAN using AP as repeater
If wired to an Ethernet network as shown in Figure 1-4, the AP serves as a bridge and provides the
link between the server and the wireless clients. The wireless clients can move freely throughout
the coverage area of the AP while remaining connected to the server. Since the ap is connected to
the wired network, each client would have access to server resources as well as to other clients.

Figure 1-4 Single AP bridge
Access points have a finite range, on the order of 50 meters indoor and 100 meters outdoors. In a
very large facility such as an enterprise, a warehouse, or on a college campus, it will probably be
necessary to install more than one access point to cover an entire building or campus, as shown in
Figure 1-5. In this scenario, access points hand the client off from one to another in a way that is
invisible to the client, ensuring roken connectivity. Wireless clients can roam seamlessly between
different coverage areas and remain connected to the network.
Figure 1-5 Multiple-AP and roaming
Wireless Router and IP Sharing
In infrastructure mode, in addition to acting as a bridge between an Ethernet and wireless network,
the AP can be configured as a wireless router and IP sharing device for Internet access as shown
in Figure 1-6. You don’t have to buy an expensive router. Nor you have to buy several modems
and setup phone lines. Just share one AP, one Modem, single dial-up account, and one phone line,
dozens of network users can go surfing the Internet concurrently.

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting
This chapter describes the problems and corresponding solutions that may occur when installing a
PC Card.
Symptom Solution
Windows does not
detect the PC Card when
installed.
Verify that the PC Card is properly
inserted into the PC Card slot.
Check whether the computer has a
Plug and Play BIOS.
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP might not
detect the PC Card if a previous
installation of the PC Card was
cancelled before it was finished.
Remove the previous driver, and redo
The installation again.
20
Driver fails to load A resource conflict could exist.
For Windows 98/ME/2000, use the
Device Manager to resolve resource
conflicts.
Select System from the Control
Panel, then click on the Device
Manager tab.
Device conflict on a
Windows system
A device conflict under Windows
98/ME/2000 may be related to
the PC Card.
For Windows 98/ME/2000, use the
Computer properties to identify the
used I/O port addresses and IRQ
values.
If there is a device conflict, select
alternative settings for I/O Base
Address or IRQ values. If you know
which device
is conflicting with the PC Card, you
have the option of changing that
device’s I/O
address or IRQ instead of changing the
PC Card.
No resource conflicts
were detected, but the
wireless station does
not attach to the
network
Verify that the SSID of the PC Card
matches that of the access point. Use
the Network Configuration Properties
Application in the Control Panel to
modify the SSID.
Verify that the Network Mode of the
PC Card is configured correctly.
Nonfunctioning card LED
The PC Card is not powered on. The
cause may be:
No Driver loaded or installed.
Card – Driver mismatch which
prevented the driver from loading.
Device conflict which prevented the
driver from loading.
Actions:
Verify that a driver has been installed.
Determine if there is a conflict with
another device.
21
Weak signal or
intermittent connection.
Try reorienting the antenna. The PC
Card antenna is attached to the end
of the PC Card. For best use of the
antenna:
Keep the area around the antenna
clear from materials that could block
radio transmission, such as metal
objects, electronic devices, and
cordless telephones.
If your signal is weak, change the
direction of the antenna slightly.
If necessary, move your notebook
computer a few inches to find a better
signal.
Use the Signal Strength display in the
Client Utility to determine the best
location and orientation for a network
connection.
