INTRODUCING SD WLAN CARD CARD

The SD WLAN Card is a wireless network card that complies with the IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs (Revision B).

SD WLAN Card features and benefits

• Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) certified (Expected in Q2/04).

• Supports data rates up to 11 Mbps.

• Fully compatible with any other wireless LAN system based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)

radio technology that complies with the “IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs.

• Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps.

• 128 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption and WPA support.

• Efficient Power Management.

• Roaming over multiple channels.

• Working range up to 300 meters in an open environment.

• Supports Ad-hoc and infrastructure modes for easy wireless communication.

SD WLAN Card Wireless Network Scenarios

• The SD WLAN Card enables you to:

• Connect your computer to a Peer-to-Peer workgroup of wireless computing devices

• Connect your computer to a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network that includes Wi-Fi access

points.

• Connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure that includes the SD WLAN

Card, or other IEEE 802.11b compliant LAN systems

Wireless stations can be equipped with the SD WLAN Card, but also with other WLAN PC Cards. Both the SD WLAN Card and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless functionality.

Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup

The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup participants can exchange files using features like “Files and Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft Networking.

You can use this option to setup a temporary or Ad-hoc network in environments where no access points are available (for example in Small Office/Home Office “SOHO” environments). As long as the stations are within range of one another, this is the easiest and least expensive way to set up a wireless network.

Home Networking

With SD WLAN Card, wireless access to the Internet or other devices is at your fingertips. All you need to do is connect the SD WLAN Card to an existing access point that may be connected to the external Cable or xDSL modems and you are ready to:

 Share files and printers, and

Access the Internet.



2-2-3 Enterprise Networking

With the Wi-Fi certified Access Point in the corporate network system, you can connect to a corporate Local Area Network (LAN) infrastructure to access all network facilities in wireless. LAN Infrastructures may either be:

 Stand-alone wireless LANs.

 Wireless network infrastructures connected to an existing Ethernet network.

About the SD WLAN Card CD-ROM

The SD WLAN Card CD-ROM contains both software and documentation for the SD WLAN Card card.

INSTALLING THE DRIVER

Installation of the SD WLAN Card Driver to the Pocket PC using Microsoft Active Sync
