cordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by

turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct

the interference by one or more of the following measures:

?? Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

?? Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

?? Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected.

?? Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly ap-

proved by the party responsible for compliance could void your

authority to operate the equipment.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for

an uncontrolled environment.

This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance

20cm between the radiator & your body.

What is Wireless LAN?

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) systems offer a great

number of advantages over traditional wired systems. WLANs are

flexible and easy to setup and manage. They are also more eco-

nomical than wired LAN systems.

Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and re-

ceive data through the air. WLANs combine data connectivity with

user mobility. For example, users can roam from a conference

room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN.

Using WLANs, users can conveniently access shared information,

and network administrators can configure and augment networks

without installing or moving network cables.

WLAN technology provides users with many convenient and cost

saving features:

?? Mobility: WLANs provide LAN users with access to real-

time information anywhere in their organization, providing

service opportunities that are impossible with wired net-

works.

?? Ease of Installation: Installing is easy for novice and ex-

pert users alike, eliminating the need to install network

cables in walls and ceilings.

?? Scalability: WLANs can be configured in a variety of to-

pologies to adapt to 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 roaming over

a broad area.

—Introduction

LAN Modes

Wireless LANs can be configured in one of two ways:

Ad-hoc

Networking Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc

network is one that allows all workstations and com-

puters in the network to act as servers to all other

users on the network. Users on the network can

share files, print to a shared printer, and access the

Internet with a shared modem. However, with ad-hoc

networking, users can only communicate with other

wireless LAN computers that are in the wireless LAN

workgroup, and are within range.

Infrastructure

Networking Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc network-

ing in that it includes an access point. Unlike the ad-

hoc structure where users on the LAN contend the

shared bandwidth, on an infrastructure network the

access point can manage the bandwidth to maximize

bandwidth utilization.

Additionally, the access point enables userson a

wireless LAN to access an existing wired network,

allowing wireless users to take advantage of the

wired networks resources, such as Internet, email,

file transfer, and printer sharing.

Infrastructure networking has the following advan-

tages over ad-hoc networking:

?? Extended range:each wireless LAN computer

within the range of the access point can com-

municate with other wireless LAN computers

within range of the access point.

?? Roaming:the access point enables a wireless

LAN computer to move through a building and

still be connected to the LAN.

?? Wired to wireless LAN connectivity: the access

point bridges the gap between wireless LANs

Wireless LAN card user’sguide

and their wired counterparts.

Notes on wireless LAN configuration

When configuring a wireless LAN (WLAN), be sure to note the

following points:

?? Optimize the performance of the WLAN by ensuring that

the distance to Access Points is within the transmission

range. In most buildings, WLAN cards operate within a

range of 100 ~ 300 feet, depending on the thickness and

structure of the walls.

?? Radio waves can pass through walls and glass but not metal.

If there is interference in transmitting through a wall, it may

be that the wall has reinforcing metal in its structure. Install

another access point to circumvent this problem.

?? Floors usually have metal girders and metal reinforcing

struts that interfere with WLAN transmission.

This concludes the first chapter. The next chapter deals with the

hardware installation of the Wireless LAN card.
