About This User’s Manual

This manual was written for two models:

•

Mini PCI Wireless LAN Card

•

Mini PCI Wireless LAN and 56K Modem Card

For brevity, throughout this manual Wireless LAN/Modem Card is used to indicate both
models. If your Mini PCI model does not come with Modem functionality, ignore the modem­related descriptions in this manual. Also, the following terms/abbreviations are used
interchangeably:

•

Access Point-AP

•

Wireless LAN-WLAN

•

Ethernet net wor k - LAN - network

This User’s Manual contains information on how to install and configure your Mini PCI
Wireless LAN/Modem Card. From now on, we will guide you through the correct
configuration steps to get your device up and run.

vii

Chapter 1 Introduction

Depending on your Mini PCI
Card model, your device may
not come with Modem
functionality.

Wireless LAN Card Features

This Wireless LAN/Modem Card provides two types of connectivity on one miniscule card:
conventional modem connectivity and Wireless LAN connectivity. The card puts the IEEE

802.11b WLAN standard and V.92 Modem technology into one integrated circuit (IC) to work
in PCs, laptops and handheld devices. It effectively eliminates the need for add-in cards for the
end-users to remain connected to their corporate WLAN or the Internet.

On the WLAN side, the card uses 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
technology, adaptively adjusting its data rate from 11 Mbps to 5.5/2.0/1.0 Mbps as the signal
strength warrants. Encryption at 64 or 128-bit levels is provided. Both Peer-to-Peer (Ad-Hoc)
and Access Pont (Infrastructure) mode are supported. In addition, its IEEE 802.11b standard
compliance ensures interoperability with other 802.11b compliant wireless LAN (WLAN)
products.

Modem Card Features

On the Modem side, the FAX/Data modem gives your PC the ability to send and receive FAX
messages over the telephone line like a standard FAX machine. It also allows your PC to
communicate with other personal computers, terminals or BBS's (Bulletin Board Systems)
through the data modem functions.

The communication software, which should be used, depends on the kind of machine that you
are going to communicate with. If you are going to call a FAX machine then you must use the
Fax software. If the machine that you are going to communicate with is a modem then you
must use a data modem communications software.

Wireless LAN Basics

This section conations some Wireless LAN basics to help you better understand how the
product works together to create a wireless network.

Local Area Network (LAN)

Simply put, a LAN is a network that exists in a relatively limited area. A network is two or
more computers connected together sharing files and peripheral devices such as printers.

The Wireless LAN Card allows you to interact with other computers without having to run
cables normally associated with networks. This lets you move your computer around while
staying connected to your network.

There are two ways to use the Wireless LAN Card. One way is to connect directly to one or
more Wirel ess LAN Card eq uipped computers, forming an Ad Hoc wireless network. The
second way is to connect to an Access Point that gives you access to an existing wired LAN,
forming an Infrastructure wireless network.

Chapter 1 Introduction

3

Mini PCI Wireless LAN / Modem Card User's Manua l

Ad Hoc Network

The Ad Hoc network offers peer to peer connections between workstations, allowing
communication between computers within range that have an 802.11b DSSS compatible PC
card installed. A wireless Ad Hoc network can also access a wired LAN’s TCP/IP service
(such as e-mail and the Internet) by using a TCP/IP software router on an Ethernet equipped
PowerBook or notebook.

Infrastructure Network

The infrastructure network uses an access point (or several access points) as a gateway,
linking the wireless network to a wired LAN. As a result, portable workstations or desktops on
your wireless network have access to all of the fe atures of your wired LAN including e-mail,
Internet access, network printers and files server.

Roaming

Multiple Access Points can be installed to extend the wireless service coverage area for
seamless wireless access. Within an extended service area, all Access Points and wireless
clients must have the same Service Set Identity (SSID). Roaming among different Access
Points is controlled automatically to maintain the wireless connectivity at all times.

4

Chapter 2 Installing the Driver and Utility Software

As the Wireless LAN/Modem Card is an embedded solution, your notebook is probably
shipped with its driver and software properly installed. If this is the case, ignore this chapter
and proceed with configuration steps in next chapter.

In case you need to install the driver and software for any reason, follow the instructions
described in this chapter.

System Requirements

To use the Wireless LAN/ Modem Card, your computer must meet the following mini mum
requirements:



Windows 98/Me/2000/XP



128MBytes of RAM, additional memory recommended
