hotel, or office – even internationally. Great for road warriors and homes and offices
without DSL or cable, the pocket-sized WiFlyer is easily set up through an Internet
browser, eliminating the hassles of software installation. Compatible with AOL®, MSN®,
EarthLink®, and most dialup ISPs and broadband connections, WiFlyer is a great at
providing wireless convenience anywhere you go.

WiFlyer is a wireless local area network (LAN) technology that provides high
performance wireless communication between multiple computers and the Internet. When
connected to the Internet, WiFlyer allows you to share a single Internet connection with
more than one computer at the same time and share files between computers. To use
WiFlyer to access the Internet, you need an account with an Internet service provider
(ISP). Fees may apply. In addition, you need a traditional way to access the Internet,
through a phone line, cable or DSL modem, or Ethernet network.
About the WiFlyer Base Station
The WiFlyer Base Station establishes a wired connection to the Internet and wireless
connections to WiFi equipped computers. A 56K modem is built into the base station for
dialup Internet access or you can use the Ethernet connection for cable or DSL broadband
connections to the Internet. There is a LAN Ethernet connection as well to connect wired
computers or printers. The base station manages communications between the Internet
and WiFi enabled computers. The WiFlyer Base Station can connect to the Internet in the
following ways:
Using a standard telephone line to connect to the modem ( ) port
Using 10Base-T Ethernet to connect a cable or DSL modem or an existing
Ethernet network with Internet access to the WAN ( ) port
Once the base station is connected to the Internet, WiFi-equipped computers can connect
to the Internet by joining the WiFlyer network. Computers connected to the WiFlyer
network by Ethernet can also share the base station’s Internet connection. See Chapter 3,
“Setting Up Your WiFlyer Base Station,” for instructions on how to set up the base station
for Internet access and how to connect computers by Ethernet.

Setting Up Your WiFlyer
What You Need to Set Up the WiFlyer Base Station for Internet Access
Before you set up the WiFlyer Base Station for Internet access, make sure of the
following:
You have a computer that is WiFi enabled, either with a wireless card or built in
WiFi capability.
Your computer has a current version of a web browser installed. Supported
browsers include Internet Explorer, Safari, Netscape and Mozilla / Firefox.
You have an account with an Internet service provider (fees may apply) or you
have Internet access through a network.
For more information on using WiFlyer with your Internet account, contact your
Internet service provider (ISP) or go to the WiFlyer Support Knowledge Base at
http://www.wiflyer.com
Powering up the WiFlyer
Plug the WiFlyer Base Station power adapter into the power adapter port and connect
it to an electrical outlet. The WiFlyer Base Station automatically turns on when the
power adapter is plugged in and connected to an electrical outlet. There is no power
switch.
When you plug in the base station the Power light indicator glows. This light indicates that
the base station is starting up. The startup process takes about 20 seconds. See “WiFlyer
Base Station Indicator Lights” for an explanation of the lights on the WiFlyer Base
Station.
Important
Use only the power adapter that came with your WiFlyer Base Station. Adapters for
other electronic devices may look similar, but they may damage the base station.

jack.
