1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing Wireless LAN 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-freely.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLAN devices 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 user’s guide will assist you in installing the WLAN USB Adapter.

2 Wireless LAN Basics
Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be
Configure as: Ad Hoc wireless LAN or Infrastructure wireless LAN.
Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN adapter, called a BSS
(Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN adapter to communicate
with each other directly.
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 , it’s recommend that you set it as “Infrastructure”
mode to connect to the Internet.
