1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Wireless Local Area Net (WLAN) Mini USB
Adapter. You are about to install a networking system that is not only fast
and powerful, but also easy to set up and simple to maintain. In a short time
you and those in your network will be able to share a local printer and files,
access the Internet, and roam about the office wire-free.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data
over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs
combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through simplified
configuration, enable movable LANs.
This wireless networking solution has been designed for both large and
small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can easily add more users
and new network features as your business grows.
This manual will assist you in the installing WLAN Mini USB Adapter.

2. Wireless LAN basics
Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be
configured as:
• Ad Hoc wireless LAN, or
• Infrastructure wireless LAN.
Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN PC card called a
BSS (Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN PC cards to
communicate with each other, and notebooks cannot connect to the Internet.

The most obvious differentiation between Infrastructure wireless network and
Ad Hoc wireless network is that the notebooks in Infrastructure wireless
network can make use of the resource in the Internet through Access Point.

To set up your notebook’s network as the type of “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure”
wireless network depends completely on your requirement. Generally, if your
network environment has an Access Point, we recommend that you set it as
“Infrastructure” to connect to the Internet.
