Wireless LAN PC Card
PCWA-C500 Quick Start Guide
Access Point Network connection mode allows you to construct a wireless network based on an Access
Point (optional). By using a computer with a Wireless LAN PC Card, you can communicate with the
Access Point, and share files with other computers via the Access Point. Furthermore, if you connect
the Access Point to a DSL modem, cable modem, or ISDN router, you can access the Internet from
various places in the house.
Step 1 (Described in the Access Point Quick Start Guide)
For Windows Me
Select “Specify the location of the driver”, and click Next.
Select “Specify a location”.
Click Browse, and specify the driver location.
For Access Point Network connection mode, set up the Access Point and connect power.
This process is described in the Access Point Quick Start Guide that came with your
Access Point.
Step 2
Insert the Wireless LAN PC Card into the computer, and install the Wireless LAN PC
Card driver.

PCWA-C500 and the necessary preparations before use.
Please read first.
Install the supplied Wireless Panel software.
Step 4
Configure the appropriate computer communications settings.
z Hint

z Hint
The above illustration shows the Access Point connected to an Ethernet LAN, providing network access to
two wireless mobile notebook computers.
Step 5 (Described in the Access Point Quick Start Guide)
High bit rate movie streaming playback*
(Peer to Peer Network connection mode)
Peer to Peer Network connection mode allows computers equipped with Wireless LAN PC Cards to
communicate directly, without using a Wireless LAN Access Point. With this connection mode, users
can share files directly from one computer to another.
Higher bit rates are achieved when using the Peer to Peer Network connection mode because
communications are not routed via the Access Point and therefore are subjected to less interference.
This makes the Peer to Peer Network connection mode well-suited for use with high bit rate movie
streaming playback applications.
PCWA-C500
Configure the appropriate Access Point communication settings. If connecting to the
Internet via the Access Point, also configure the Access Point Internet connection settings.
Step 6
Configure the computer communications settings to match the settings configured in
Step 5.
