Chapter 1 - Introduction

Overview

Thank you for purchasing the ASUS SpaceLink CF Card. The ASUS
SpaceLink CF Card is a wireless network interface card (NIC) for any
computer equipped with a Compact Flash (CF) Type II socket or Personal
Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) Type II
socket with a CF adapter . ASUS SpaceLink CF Card is designed to be fully
compliant with the IEEE 802.11b wireless local area network (Wireless
LAN) standard. As a result of the completion of the standard, the
interoperability of Wireless LAN products among multiple manufacturers
will be guaranteed.

The ASUS SpaceLink CF Card product provides high-speed, standards­based Wireless LAN solutions. Supporting data rates up to 11 Mbps, with
automatic fallback to 5.5, 2, and 1 Mbps. It operates in the unlicensed 2.4
GHz frequencies called the Instrumentation, Science, and Medical (ISM)
band. Unlicensed means free of charge to users. The ASUS SpaceLink CF
Card configuration utility is a user-friendly application that helps you
quickly setup multiple roaming nodes using the ASUS SpaceLink CF Card.

(AP). By making use of AP in the office, you can easily establish mobile
network connections to the enterprise Intranet or Internet. Moreover, you
can bring your ASUS SpaceLink CF Card home to make your home­networking dream come true! A home-dedicated AP , with built-in Internet
gateway capability, allows your family to share a broadband Modem and
