Chapter 1: Introduction

The 11Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card

The 11Mbps Wireless LAN PC Card now has a new , higher-powered antenna that provides a

greater range than ever. The increased sensitivity helps filter out interference and notice to keep

your signal clear. Improved error correction in the chipset keeps you operating at higher transmission

rates for longer distances. And since you only need one Type II or III PCMCIA slot, you’re free to use

your other slots for additional accessories.

Plug-and-Play device, Windows 98/ME/2000/XP will automatically recognize the wireless LAN

card and initiate the installation process. Upon successful installation, the wireless LAN card will

communicate seamlessly with other wireless home and office networking products.

Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data over the air,

minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs combine data connectivity with user

mobility, and through simplified configuration, enable movable LANs. This wireless networking

solution has been designed for both large and small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can

easily add more users and new network features as your business grows.

This manual will assist you in the installing WLAN PC Card.

Planning

Network Topology

Wireless LAN Basic

An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one WLAN adapter,

connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be

configured to share the same radio channel.(Fig 2-1)

Fig 2-1 Ad-Hoc Wireless LAN

Notebook with PCMCIA WLAN Card

Desktop with USB WLAN Adapter

The WLANs supports legacy Ethernet LAN network configuration options as defined by the

IEEE 802.11b standards committee.

The WLAN Card can be configured as:

 Ad-Hoc for departmental or SOHO LANs.

Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.

LAN-Interconnection for point-to-point link as campus backbone.

The adapter provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless

and wired LAN is called an infrastructure configuration. A group of WLAN PC users and an Access

Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each WLAN PC in a BSS can talk to any computer in the

wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.(Fig 2-2)

An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a WLAN equipped PC to a wired

LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for 2 WLANs PCs. Since the Access

Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN

is double.(Fig 2-3)

The use of a unique ID in a BSS is essential. All WLAN equipped PCs configured without

roaming options in independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID corresponding to the Access

Point used in the BSS. Check your Access Point for its BSS ID or use the Access Point Browser

Utility program to determine the BSS ID.(Fig 2-4)

The infrastructure wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless

access to a central database, or as a wireless application for mobile users.

Roaming

Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More than one BSS

can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). The continuous network allows users to roam

freely within an ESS. All WLAN PCs and Access Point within one ESS must be configured with the

same ESS ID.

Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, it is recommended to select a feasible radio

channel and optimum Access Point position. Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear

radio signal will greatly enhance performance.

Running the Auto Driver & Utility Installation

1. Click “Windows 95/98/ME/2000/XP Driver & Utility - PCMCIA” to install driver/utility for

your PCMCIA WLAN Card. You will see Welcome to the InstallShield Wizard for 802.11 Wireless

LAN. Click “Next >” (Fig 3-2).

2. After clicking “Next >”, components’ version of package will be shown on this screen. (Fig 3-

3).

If this screen doesn’t appear automatically, you can access the installation by clicking the Start

button and choosing Run. In the drop-down box provided type D:\Setup.exe (where D: is the letter

of your CD-ROM drive). Alternately, double-click My Computer and double-click the Setup.exe icon

in the folder that appears.

Fig 3-1 Auto-run feature of Windows

Before installing your card, insert the Auto-Install CD into your CD-ROM driver. Unless you

have deactivated the auto-run feature of Windows, the screen shown in Fig 3-1 should appear

automatically.

NOTE: You must install this software before installation of the hardware

3. The installation provides you to install package Custom or Typical. (Fig 3-4)

4. If “Custom” be chosen, you can select package individually. If you choose “Typical”, The

3 packages will be installed in your system. (Fig 3-5)

The 3 packages mean Application, PCMCIA card driver, and USB adapter driver. (Fig 3-6).
