User Guide

Features

• Up to 54Mbps signal rate at a frequency of 2.4GHz

• Wireless security using WEP or WPA with TKIP encryption

and EAP-type Authentication

• Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networks

• 32 bit Cardbus Interface

• Plug & Play Installation

• Supports 125 High Speed Mode

The WPCC100 Wireless PC Card Adapter performs at 125 High

Speed Mode only with routers or gateways that support this

protocol, such as the ViewSonic WR100 Wireless Router. If your router or gateway does not support this protocol, however, the WPCC100 will still work at standard 802.11g speed.

When operating at highest speeds, the WPCC100 achieves a throughput of up to 34Mbps, which is the equivalent throughput of a system following 802.11g protocol and operating at a signaling rate of 125Mbps.
