Wireless Access PCI Adapter Installation

Note: For the most recent installation information, refer to the product Web

site at http://www.usr.com/support. You can also refer to the User Guide on
the Installation CD-ROM for more detailed information.

Software Installation

Step One: Prepare for installation

Turn on your desktop computer. Type your password if you are prompted
to do so.

Note: It is important that you have your serial number written down before

you install the Wireless Access PCI Adapter. If you ever need to call our
Technical Support department, you will need this number to receive assistance.

Note: Be sure to find out what letter your CD-ROM drive uses before you

begin installing your new product. You will need to know this to properly
install your software.

Step Two: Install your software

Note: You will need to install this software on all of the PCs or laptops you plan

to wirelessly network together.

Insert your Installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. In the Choose
Setup Language window, select your preferred language and click OK.

Note: If your CD-ROM does not automatically launch, click Windows Start, Run,

and type D:\setup (or the appropriate letter of your CD-ROM drive) and click OK.

Hardware and Driver Installation

Step One: Prepare for installation

Unplug your computer and remove the computer’s cover.

Step Two: Connect the Wireless Access PCI Adapter to
your computer

Locate an available PCI slot and insert the Wireless Access PCI Adapter.
PCI slots are typically white plastic lined with metal and are 3.5 inches
long. Use the slot cover screw to secure the Wireless Access PCI Adapter.

Note: It can be tricky getting the Wireless Access PCI Adapter into the PCI slot.

Use firm pressure to seat the Wireless Access PCI Adapter properly.

Some computers require you to remove the PC Card from the Wireless
Access PCI Adapter before you insert the Wireless Access PCI Adapter into
the PCI slot. If necessary, pull the PC Card out of the Wireless Access PCI
Adapter and set it aside. Insert the Wireless Access PCI Adapter into the
PCI slot, pressing firmly to seat it properly. Then slide the PC Card through
the slot and into the Wireless Access PCI Adapter. Inserting the PC Card
into the Wireless Access PCI Adapter in this manner can be awkward, so
take your time.

Note: If you experience any problems installing the Wireless Access PCI

Adapter, try installing it in a different PCI slot.

Step Three: Install your drivers

Replace your computer’s cover and turn on your desktop computer. You
may get a window saying the Configuration Agent couldn’t connect to
the Network Agent. If you do get this window, click OK. When Windows
detects the new hardware, click Next.

Click the icon for the U.S. Robotics Wireless Configuration Utility. Click
Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter.

Follow the on-screen instructions and wait for the files to be copied to
your hard drive. A window will appear showing you the files that have
loaded onto your system. Close this window. The program window with
the Configuration Utility icons will appear. Close this window.

Your software setup is complete. Click OK, and prepare to install your
hardware. Do not remove the U.S. Robotics Installation CD-ROM from
your CD-ROM drive. Shut down your computer.

The Configuration Utility is used to change or verify the configuration
information that relates to your Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter.
The Configuration Utility icon will also be colored to indicate the status
of your wireless network: red for disconnected, yellow for connected
with poor quality, and green for connected with good quality.

• Reinstall the Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter and reinstall the
correct drivers.

The Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter cannot communicate with
other computers linked via Ethernet in the Infrastructure configuration.

Possible Solution:

• Ensure that each computer in the wireless network is powered on.

• Ensure that each Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter is configured
on the same operating radio channel. If the IDs are different, change
each Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter within the LAN to the
new radio channel.

• Ensure that each Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter is configured
with the same security options.

• Ensure that you can connect to the Wireless Access Point and that the
BSSID shows the MAC address of the Wireless Access Point you want
to communicate with.

• Ensure that you have a valid IP address for the network you are trying
to connect to.

• Ensure TCP/IP is installed. Ensure you are a part of the same domain
or workgroup. Ensure that you are automatically obtaining the IP
address or that you have a correct IP address and subnet mask. Reset
the Wireless Access Point and restart the computer that has a connec­tivity issue. Ensure that you have some files available for sharing.

• If you are not using a U.S. Robotics Wireless Access Point, ensure that
you can connect to the Access Point and that the preamble mode is
set to Long.

My computer does not recognize the Access Point after I changed
the settings.

Possible Solution:

If you changed the encryption settings in the configuration of the Wireless
Access Point, you must also change the encryption settings of every
Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter attached to the network. The
settings of the Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter must match the
new settings of the Wireless Access Point.

My computer is not finding the correct driver files for the Wireless Access
PC Card or PCI Adapter in Windows NT.

Possible Solution:

When you are prompted for the Windows NT files for the Wireless Access
PC Card or PCI Adapter, type D:\i386 and click Continue. You will be prompted
again for the Windows NT files. Type D:\drivers and click Continue.

I received a message that my computer shares a name with another
computer on the wireless network.

Possible Solution:

Each computer on the wireless network must have a different name.
Refer to your computer’s documentation to see how to change the name
of your computer.

Troubleshooting

My computer does not recognize the Wireless Access PC Card or
PCI Adapter.

Possible Solution:

Laptop users, the Wireless Access PC Card may not be fully inserted into
the PCMCIA slot.

Desktop users, the Wireless Access PCI Adapter may not be fully inserted
into the PCI slot. The Wireless Access PC Card may not be fully inserted
into the Wireless Access PCI Adapter. You can also try installing the
Wireless Access PCI Adapter into a different PCI slot.

I accidentally clicked Cancel during the Installation procedure.

Possible Solution:

If you reboot your computer, Windows will detect the new hardware and
restart the Installation procedure.

The Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter does not work properly.

Possible Solution:

Laptop users, disable the PC Card and then eject it. Reboot your laptop
computer and then reinsert the PC Card. Refer to your computer’s
documentation for the proper instructions to perform these steps.

Desktop users, disable the PCI Adapter, reboot your computer, and then
re-enable the PCI Adapter. Refer to your computer’s documentation for the
proper instructions to perform these steps.

For Windows Me, NT, and 2000, ensure that a PCMCIA card service driver
is installed in your computer. Perform the following steps to check for the
service driver:

1) Double-click Control Panel and then PC-card. Check to see if it has
the Wireless Access PC Card in one of the slots. If you find U.S. Robotics
Wireless Access PC Card in one of the slots, then the card has been prop­erly detected. If you see a yellow question mark, there are conflicting
resources or the driver is not correctly installed.

2) Right-click My Computer and then click Properties. Select the Device
Manager tab and double-click Network Adapter. If it is installed correctly,
you will see U.S. Robotics Wireless Access PC Card Adapter. If you see a
yellow question mark, there are conflicting resources. Click PCMCIA Card
and then PCMCIA Card Service. This will show the status of the PCMCIA
card. If there is a yellow question mark on the adapter or on the PCMCIA
card, verify the following:

• Your notebook supports a 5V PCMCIA card.

• Your computer has a free IRQ.
If the Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter does not function after

attempting the above steps, remove the Wireless Access PC Card or PCI
Adapter and perform the following steps:

• Click Windows Start, Settings, and Control Panel. Double-click
System and uninstall the Wireless Access PC Card or PCI Adapter.
