Chapter2:PlanningYourWireless

Network

A wireless local area network (WLAN) is exactly like a regular local area network

(LAN), except that each computer in the WLAN uses a wireless device to

connect to the network. Computers in a WLAN share the same frequency channel

and SSID, which is an identification name for wireless devices.

Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two different modes in which

they may be set up: infrastructure and ad-hoc. An infrastructure configuration

is a WLAN and wired LAN communicating to each other through an

access point. An ad-hoc configuration is wireless-equipped computers communicating

directly with each other. Choosing between these two modes

depends on whether or not the wireless network needs to share data or peripherals

with a wired network or not.

Figure 2-1.

If the computers on the wireless network need to be accessed by a wired network or need to share a

peripheral, such as a printer, with the wired network computers, the wireless network should be set up

in infrastructure mode. (See Figure 2-1.) The basis of infrastructure mode centers around an

access point, which serves as the main point of communications in a wireless network. Access points

transmit data to PCs equipped with wireless network cards, which can roam within a certain radial

range of the access point. Multiple access points can be arranged to work in succession to extend the

roaming range, and can be set up to communicate with your Ethernet (wired) hardware as well.

If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only with the other computers

on the wireless network, then the ad-hoc mode can be used. (See Figure 2-2.) Ad-hoc mode allows

computers equipped with wireless transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other,

eliminating the need for an access point. The drawback of this mode is that, in Ad-Hoc mode,

wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate with computers on a wired network. And, of

course, communication between the wireless-equipped computers is limited by the distance and

interference directly between them.

Figure 2-2

Chapter3:GettingtoKnowthe

WirelessA/GUSBNetworkAdapter

The Network Adapter is connected to your PC through its USB port. All power

is provided through the USB connection, making a power adapter unnecessary.

The Network Adapter’s LEDs show you how the Adapter is functioning.

Power Green. This LED will light up to let you know that the Adapter is

adequately powered over the USB connection.

Link Green. The Link LED will be lit steadily when the Network

Adapter is connected to your wireless network. The LED will

blink when there is wireless network traffic.

Chapter4:SoftwareInstallationand

ConfigurationforWindows2000

The Wireless A/G USB Network Adapter Setup Wizard will guide you through the installation

procedure. The Setup Wizard will install the WLAN Monitor and driver, as well as configure the

Adapter.

1. Insert the Setup Wizard CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. The Setup Wizard should run

automatically. If it does not, click the Start button and choose Run. In the field that appears, enter

D:\setup.exe (if “D” is the letter of your CD-ROM drive).

2. Read the License Agreement and click the Next button to continue the installation. If you click the

Cancel button, you will end the installation.

3. The following screen will ask for some information about your wireless network. In the SSID field,

enter your network’s SSID (Service Set Identifier). The SSID is your network name and must be

identical for all devices in the network. The default setting is linksys (all lowercase).

Next, choose a wireless mode. Click the Infrastructure Mode radio button if you want your wireless

computers to network with computers on your wired network using a wireless access point. Click the

Ad-Hoc Mode radio button if you want multiple wireless computers to network directly with each

other.

Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous page.

4. If you chose I n f r a s t r u c t u r e

Mode, go to Step 5 now. If you chose Ad-Hoc Mode, select the correct operating channel for your

network from the Channel dropdown menu.

Then, select the Network Mode from the dropdown

menu. Click the Next button, and go to Step 5. Click the Back button to change any settings.

Channel - The channel you choose should match the channel set on the other devices in your wireless

network. If you are unsure about which channel to use, select the default channel (Channel 6).

Network Mode - Keep the default setting, Mixed, if you have Wireless-A and Wireless-G devices in

your network.

5. The Setup Wizard will ask you to review your settings before it starts to copy files. Click the Next

button to save these settings, or click the Back button to change any settings.

6. At this point, you may see a warning screen, such as that asking if you’d like to

cease installation. You can click the Yes button to continue; the Adapter will function properly.

7. After the files have been successfully copied. Click the Exit button.

Proceed to “Chapter 5: Hardware Installation.”

Chapter5:HardwareInstallation

Important for Windows 2000 users: You must run the Setup Wizard

to install the software before installing the hardware.

Important for Windows XP users: You must install the Adapter’s

hardware before installing the software.

1. The Adapter comes with the USB cable you will use to connect the Adapter

to your PC. (See Figure 5-1.)

Figure 5-1

2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the USB port of the Adapter.

3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to one of the USB

ports on your computer (see Figure 5-2).

Figure 5-2

4. When Windows 2000 begins installing the Network Adapter’s driver file, a

screen similar to that shown in Figure 5-3 will appear, stating that a digital

signature was not found. This software has been tested and found to work

properly with Windows 2000. Click the Yes button to continue installation.
