IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter Version 2.0
1 Introduction
This is a USB 2.0 pen-size wireless adapter supporting dual-band 802.11a/b/g (2.4GHz & 5GHz) radio operation. It provides high-speed wireless connection with data rate up to 54Mbps.
It is based on the 802.11g standard backwards compatible with 802.11b products. This means that you do not need to change your entire network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g speed when you mix 802.11b and
802.11g devices, but you will not lose the ability to communicate when you incorporate the 802.11g standard into your 802.11b network. You may choose to slowly change your network by gradually replacing the 802.11b devices with 802.11g devices. For a more secure application, it supports 802.1x, WPA and WPA2.
This chapter describes the features & benefits, package contents, applications, and network configuration.

1.5 Applications
The wireless LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications made possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:
a) Difficult-to-wire environments
There are many situations where wires cannot be laid easily. Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.
b) Temporary workgroups
Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibition centers, disaster­recovery, temporary offices and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN established and removed.
c) The ability to access real-time information
Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers and processing information.
d) Frequently changed environments
Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where frequently rearrange the workplace.
e) Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks
SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small network.
f) Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks
Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless LANs.
g) Wired LAN backup
Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for mission-critical applications running on wired networks.
h) Training/Educational facilities
Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and learning.

1.6 Network Configuration
To better understand how the wireless LAN products work together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a few of the possible wireless LAN PC card network configurations. The wireless LAN products can be configured as:
a) Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.
a) Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network whenever they are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to­peer, would only have access to the resources of the other client and does not require an access point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts a network in ad-hoc mode.
b) Infrastructure Mode
The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this mode, all wireless communication between two computers has to be via the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the distance between wireless stations. The image below depicts a network in infrastructure mode.

2 Install Drivers & Client Utility
2.1 Before You Begin
Before installing the new drivers of your USB adapter, you need to disable all of the Wireless LAN drivers that you have installed.
During the installation, Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP may need to copy systems files from its installation CD. Therefore, you may need a copy of the Windows installation CD at hand before installing the drivers. On many systems, instead of a CD, the necessary installation files are archived on the hard disk in C:\WINDOWS \OPTIONS\CABS directory.
2.2 Installing the Drivers
Follow the steps below in order to install the USB adapter drivers:
1. Insert the CD-ROM that was provided to you in this package. The setup should run automatically. If the setup does not run automatically, then you must manually select the setup.exe file from the CD-ROM drive.
2. Once the setup begins you will see the Install Shield Wizard, as the image depicts below.
3. Click on the Next button to continue.
4. Select the location where you would like the driver installed. Click on the

Browse button to change the directory, or click on the Next button to continue using the default directory.
5. Wait a few moments until the files are copied to the computer.
