1 Introduction First of all, we deeply appreciated your purchasing our wireless LAN PC card. This powerful LAN card not only providing stable linking quality but also safe to transmitting data. We supply several security authentication login to enhance your safekeeping, as 802.1x and 802.11i standard. This user manual will guide you to install WLAN PC Card driver and utility quickly! Features • Completely accordance with IEEE 802.11 and IEEE 802.
• Internal encryption/decryption engine executes IEEE 802.11 64-bit and 128-bit WEP • 3.3V and 1.8V power supplies needed and 5V tolerant I/Os 2 Wireless LAN basics Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be Configure as: Ad Hoc wireless LAN or Infrastructure wireless LAN. Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN PC cards, called a BSS (Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN PC cards to communicate with each other directly.
3 Configuration Utility. If you use Windows XP, there are two different utility to configure you wireless setting, although we provide another more user friendly interface, but both of them are similar in functional using. You can choose any one of them, that you more like or convenience to use. 3.1 Windows XP Wireless Network Connection Setting. 1. After finished install driver and utility in your system. Next step we can start to setup your wireless card.
Fig. 3.1-2 3. It’s normal sight when you pick a good connection. Windows XP will appear warning notice as following (Fig. 3.1-3) for a second. Fig. 3.1-3 4. After several seconds, you will see connection states information on notice frame (Fig.3.1-4). It will show SSID and signal strength.
Fig.3.1-4 3.1 Realtek Connection Setting. We provide another wireless setting utility for Windows (2000/me/98SE) use. Of course, Windows XP version already prepared. Every function is the same like Windows 2k version. 1. Plug-in wireless card and you will see Realtek utility appear on your system tray. (Fig3.2-1) (Fig3.2-1) 2. Double-click the crab icon, following dialog box will appear. (Fig3.
(Fig3.2-2) 3.Trending towards advanced setting, we can click “Advanced” button at beginning, a new window will pop-up as following. (Fig3.2-3) You can assign Access Point which you want connect to. We also can change presently connection just click SSID from “Available Profile” list then click remove button to end off connection. At the bottom of window, it will show presently signal strength and link quality clearly.
(Fig3.2-3) 4.There are several wireless network coexist, we must consider with data Encryption. It depend on your Access Point security setting, one of them not match , them the connection will be failed.

An internetworking device that seamlessly connects wired and wireless networks together. Ad Hoc An Ad Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each with a WLAN adapter, connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad Hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation. BSSID A specific Ad Hoc LAN is called a Basic Service Set (BSS). Computers in a BSS must be configured with the same BSSID.
Infrastructure An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. Infrastructure is applicable to enterprise scale for wireless access to central database, or wireless application for mobile workers. ISM Band The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside bandwidth for unlicensed use in the so-called ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is being made available worldwide.
about each device is maintained in a structure known as a management information block. Static IP Addressing A method of assigning IP addresses to clients on the network. In networks with Static IP address, the network administrator manually assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a Static IP address is assigned, a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the network, unless it is manually changed.
