that includes a Lucent Technologies Residential Gateway (RG) access
point (see Figure 1-3 on page 1-5).
Connect your computer to a Local Ar ea N etwork (LAN) Infrastruct ur e

You can use this option to set up a temporary or ad-hoc network in
environments where no acc ess poi nt s are available (for example in Small
Office/Home Office (SOHO) environments).
As long as the stations are w ithin range of one another, this is the easiest
and least expensive way to set up a wir eless network.

It’s Easy 1
The ORiNOCO PC Card functions like any standard wired Ethernet card, but
ORiNOCO does not need any wires!
Where an Ethernet card requires a cable connect ion t o a hub and/or patch
panel, the cable physically ties you down to the location of t he w ired
connection.
ORiNOCO allows you to connect your computer to a Local Area Network
(LAN) system from anywh er e wi th in the w irel ess coverage area. Expanding
or re-designing your network is easy: Add or relocate AP-1000s, power-up
your (new) ORiNOCO computers, and you’re done!
Unlike Ethernet, ORiNOCO will enable you to roam throughout the network
while remaining connected to the LAN.
NOTE:
The ORiNOCO PC Ca rd is a radio product. Refer to the flyer
“Information to the User” for regulatory information that may apply in
your country.

These antennas have a Lucent Technologies proprietar y connector, that
allows you to connect the card directly to t he socket on the extended side of
the your ORiNOCO PC Card (pictured in Figure 1-6 on page 1-9).
Range Extender Antenna 1
Use the ORiNOCO Range Extender Antenna to ensure optimal transmission
and receiving quality for situations in whi ch t he integrated antennas are
shielded, for example when:
The ORiNOCO PC Card is close to metal surfaces.
■
The ORiNOCO PC Card is inserted into a AP-1000 device or computer
■
that is installed in a “hidden” loc at ion, e.g. under a desk or inside a
cabinet.
Objects like thick stacks of books shield the ant enna.
■
In most situations the ORiNOCO Range Extender Antenna may provide a
performance increas e of up t o 50%.
You can connect the Range Extender Antenna to the ORiNOCO PC Card by
inserting the connector into the socket on the extended side of the PC Card.
To protect the socket from dust, it is shielded with a little cap, that should be
removed prior to connecting the ant enna.
The ORiNOCO Range Extender Antenna has a mounting bracket and a
base for perfect vertical positioning that allows you to put the antenna on top

CAUTION:
Many computer monitors today support a degauss option, that can either
be enabled manually by the user, but is often also enabled automatically
whenever you turn on the monitor. The electromagnetic discharge that
may occur when degaussing the monitor may cause damage to the
ORiNOCO equipment.
To avoid damage to your sensitive ORiNOCO equipment, do not place
the Range Extender Antenna on top of, or too close to, your monitor.
Vehicle-Mount Antenna 1
The ORiNOCO Vehic le-Mount Antenna enab les you to connect vehicle s with
an on-board terminal to your LAN infrastructur e.
The ruggedized design of this antenna allows you to mount it on vehicles (for
example fork-lift trucks) that need cont inuo us access to networked data,
whether inside or outsi de of the building.
The Vehicle-Mount Antenna is equipped with a 2.5 m an te nna cable to
