1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing X-Micro WLAN 11b 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 X-Micro WLAN 11b 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.

Figure 2-1 Ad Hoc wireless network

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.
