Regulatory notes and statements Wireless LAN, Health and Authorization for use Radio frequency electromagnetic energy is emitted from Wireless LAN devices. The energy levels of these emissions however are far much less than the electromagnetic energy emissions from wireless devices like for example mobile phones. Wireless LAN devices are safe for use frequency safety standards and recommendations.
The radiated output power of this Wireless LAN device is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, this device shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. When nearby persons has to be kept to ensure RF exposure compliance, in order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, the distance between the antennas and the user should not be less than 2.5cm.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 2.5cm from all persons and must not be co -located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. CE Mark Warning This is a Class B product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this 108Mbps IEEE 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapter. This manual helps to get familiar with the Wireless Cardbus Adapter. This manual contains detailed instructions in operation of this product. Please keep this manual for future reference. With a Wireless (IEEE 802.11g) Cardbus Adapter, a laptop computer or a station can communicate with another computer in a wireless way.
UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless Cardbus Adapter. Unpacking Open the box of the Wireless Cardbus Adapter and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items: u u One 108Mbps IEEE 802.11g Wireless Cardbus Adapter One Driver & Utility with User’ s Guide CD-ROM If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION LED Indicator Power (PWR) The PWR indicator lights green while the Wireless Cardbus adapter is connecting to the Cardbus or PCMCIA slot, otherwise, it is off. ACT (Activity) The ACT indicator blinks green when the Wireless Cardbus Adapter is connected to a network successfully and transmitting data. Otherwise the indicator is off whiles the Wireless LAN is stand by.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION This section will lead you to install the driver and utility of the Wireless Cardbus Adapter. Windows 98se/ME/2000/XP Utility and Driver Installation 1. Insert the Wireless Cardbus Adapter Driver & Utility CD-ROM into computer’ s CD-ROM Drive and it will automatically run a setup menu and install the driver and the utility. In some specific setting on Windows system, you may need to proceed the software manually, go to your Windows Start menu and choose Run, type “D:\Utility\Setup.
Wireless Utility Setting I. Link Information The default page is as below after launching the Utility program. Status: Shows the BSSID associated, which can be used to identify the wireless network. SSID: Shows current SSID, which must be the same for the wireless client and AP in order for communication to be established. Frequency: Shows the current frequency used for wireless network. Wireless Mode: Shows the current wireless mode used for wireless communication.
II. Configuration This is the page where changes the basic settings of the PC card with the minimum amount of effort to implement a secure wireless network environment. SSID: Service Set Identifier, which is a unique name shared among all clients and nodes in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for each clients and nodes in the wireless network.
Preamble: Select Long or Short Preamble type. Preamble is a sequence of bits transmitted at 1Mbps that allows the PHY circuitry to reach steady-state demodulation and synchronization of bit clock and frame start. Two different preambles and headers are defined: the mandatory supported Long Preamble and header, which interoperate with the 1 Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s DSSS specification (as described in IEEE Std 802.11), and an optional Short Preamble and header (as described in IEEE Std 802.11b).
options is selected, it is required to select the Authentication mode from the next dropping list. If WPA is selected, configuration is enabled. Please click the “configuration”. The below window is pop up. Then, please select the certificate that user wants to use and enter the server name and login name If WPA-PSK is selected, click the configuration button. The popping window is as the below. Please enter the key. Auth. Mode: There are three modes available to choose.
Network Key: choose the encryption way, either in HEX or ASCII formats, and enter the password in the blank space. Key Length: select 64 or 128 bits as the length of the keys Key Format: ASCII or HEX IV. Site Survey This page allows user to enable the Site Survey function to scan for the available wireless network (wireless clients and Access Points) and establish wireless communications with one.
Add: To add a profile. Then, the following screen would appear. User can enter the necessary information required for accessing Access Points or Wireless Router. V. About This page displays some information about the 108Mpbs wireless LAN PC card utility, which includes the version numbers for Driver, Firmware and Utility. When there is new version of software available for upgrade, users will be able to identify by version numbers.
