Chapter 1: Overview

Chapter 1 Overview

This product is an IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Card with USB interface solution. This solution provides

compatibility with 802.11b and 802.11g standard devices. Now users have the flexibility to connect to

802.11b or 802.11g networks effortlessly.

It allows your computer to connect to a wireless network and to share resources, such as files or printers

without being bound to the network wires. Operating in 2.4GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

(DSSS) radio transmission, the Wireless LAN Card transfers data at speeds up to 54Mbps. BothAd hoc

and Infrastructure mode are supported. For network security concern, 64/128-bits Wired Equivalent

Privacy (WEP) encryption is used. In addition, its standard compliance ensures that it can communicate

with any 802.11b/g networks. It also supports Microsoft WHQL software for Windows XP.

Wireless LAN Basics

This section contains some Wireless LAN basics to help you better understand how the products work

together to create a wireless network.

Local Area Network (LAN)

LAN is a local network that exists in a relatively limited area. Within the network, two or more computers

are connected together sharing files and peripheral devices such as printers.

The Wireless LAN Card allows you to interact with other computers without having to run cables

normally associated with networks. This lets you move your computer around while staying connected to

your network.

There are two ways to use the Wireless LAN Card. One way is to connect directly to one or more

Wireless LAN Card equipped computers, forming an Ad hoc wireless network. The second way is to

connect to anAccess Point that gives you access to an existing wired LAN, forming an Infrastructure

wireless network.

Ad Hoc Mode

An Ad Hoc network offers peer-to-peer connections between wireless stations that are in range of each

other. The stations communicate directly with each other without using an Access Point or any

connection to a wired network. This mode is useful for quickly and easily setting up a wireless network

anywhere that a wireless infrastructure does not exist or is not required for services. In an Ad Hoc

network, all wireless stations must have the same SSID, channel and WEP keys (if enabled) to

communicate with each other.

Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter

Infrastructure Mode

An Infrastructure wireless network consists of at least one Access Point connected to the wired network

infrastructure and a set of wireless end stations. The AP acts as a gateway, linking the wireless network

to a wired LAN.As a result, wireless stations have access to all of the features of your wired LAN

including e-mail, Internet, network printers and files server access.

Roaming

For large environments, multipleAccess Points can be implemented to extend the wireless service

coverage area for seamless wireless access. It allows wireless clients to roam from oneAP to another

while maintaining the wireless connectivity at all times. A wireless client wandering across multipleAPs

will automatically change the operating radio frequency as required.

In a roaming network, all APs and wireless clients must have the same Service Set Identity (SSID) and

security setting (if enabled).Alternatively the mobile station may use an SSID of “any” to associate with

any available AP, regardless of theAP’s SSID. Roaming among different Access Points is controlled

automatically to maintain the wireless connectivity at all times.
