Introduction

The Multi-Tech Systems, Inc. wireless USB adapter provides an ideal way to

connect your PC to a wireless network or as part of a wired LAN (Local Area

Network) with a wireless network segment. With the wireless USB, you will have

the ability to share information and resources, such as files and printers, and

take full advantage of a “connected” environment for work and play!

The USB adapter comes with drivers for most popular operating systems and

can be integrated into a large network.

This guide provides a quick introduction to wireless technology and its

application, and will assist you with the installation procedure when running

Windows 98/Me/2000.

What’s in Your Wireless USB Package

•Wireless USB Adapter

•This printed Quick Start Guide

•A CD-ROM containing Wireless USB configuration utility software, a complete

user guide, this quick start guide, and drivers. The Configuration Utility is

used for managing the Wireless USB and establishing the wireless connection

with your Access Point (e.g., an RF802EW).

Note: If anything is missing, please contact your vendor.

Safety

USB equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who

install and use it. However, special attention must be paid to the dangers of

electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical equipment. All

guidelines of this manual and of the computer manufacturer must, therefore, be

allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.

Wireless Basics

Wireless LAN Basics

Wireless LAN (Local Area Networks) systems offer a great number of advantages

over a traditional, wired system. Wireless LANs (WLANs) are more flexible,

easier to setup and manage, and are often more cost effective than their wired

equivalent.

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.

With wireless LANs, users can access shared information without looking for a

place to plug in, and network managers can set up or augment networks without

installing or moving wires. Wireless LANs offer the following productivity,

convenience, and cost advantages over traditional wired networks:

Mobility - Wireless LAN systems can provide LAN users with access to real-time

information anywhere in their organization; whether a home office, a small

office, or a large corporation. This mobility supports productivity and service

opportunities not possible with wired networks.

Installation Speed and Simplicity - Installing a wireless LAN system can be

fast and easy and can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and

ceilings.

Installation Flexibility - Wireless technology allows the network to go where

wires cannot go.

Reduced Cost-of-Ownership - While the initial investment required for

wireless LAN hardware might be higher than the cost of wired LAN hardware,

overall installation expenses and life-cycle costs will be significantly lower. Long-

term cost benefits are greatest in dynamic environments requiring frequent

moves, add-ons, and changes.

Scalability - Wireless LAN systems can be configured to meet the needs of

specific applications and installations. Configurations are easily changed and

range from peer-to-peer networks suitable for a small number of users to full

infrastructure networks of thousands of users that allows roaming over a broad

area.

Installation

Installation Overview

A Pre-Installation Note: Make sure that the router, the RF802EW, to which

you will be “connected” is in place.

How the RF802EW Works With Your RF802USB: The RF802EW

connects with cables to the Internet and your local area network (LAN). It

is the wireless access point for your RF802USB. Your RF802USB

“connects” wirelessly to the RE802EW.

Installation: Here are some steps you will perform in establishing your wireless

network connection:

1. Install the RF802USB software using the installation CD-ROM included with

your package.

2. Connect the RF802USB to your PC.

4. Set the network protocol(s) required to communicate on your network. In

most instances, you will be using the TCP/IP protocol.
