Wireless LAN PCI Card Chapter 3 Configuration Utility The Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you configure the Wireless PCI Card and monitor the statistics of the communication process. This utility can be used to change the following configuration parameters when the device is active. Please continue to read the following instructions. 3.1 “General” Strength: This bar shows the signal strength level.
Wireless LAN PCI Card 3.2 “Statistics” Transmitted Statistics: Shows transmitted statistics. Received Statistics: Shows received statistics. 3.3 “Settings” Click “Change” to set up the necessary parameters, and click “Submit” after the configuration has been changed. Click “Undo” to restore the changed. Operation mode: Shows the following network modes Infrastructure Mode – This operation mode requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point. 802.
Wireless LAN PCI Card Transmite Rate: Shows the Data Transfer Rate. There are 1 Mbps, 2M bps, 5.5 Mbps, 11 Mbps. Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from this panel. There are four 10 Hex digit encryption keys value available for the WEP. You can define the encryption key values of their own choice.

Wireless LAN PCI Card Chapter 5 Troubleshooting This section provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and operation of this Wireless PCI Card. Read the description below to solve your problems. What is the IEEE 802.11b standard? The IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN standard subcommittee which formulates the standard for the industry. The objective is to enable wireless LAN hardware from different manufactures to communicate. What does IEEE 802.
Wireless LAN PCI Card What is DSSS?What is FHSS?And what are their differences? Frequency-hopping spread-spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS appears to be short-duration impulse noise. Direct-sequence spreadspectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for each bit to be transmitted.
