Zoom 4117 User Manual

Model 4117 Wireless USB Client

The ZoomAir Wireless USB Client provides a fast, flexible networking connection with un­matched ease of installation and use. Simply plug the Model 4117 into a computer’s USB
port, run the installation software and are ready to connect to any industry-standard 802.11b
wireless network.

The USB interface provides Plug and Play installation and eliminates the need to open a
computer case. The small size of the Model 4117 makes it suitable for use with either a
desktop or portable computer. And the USB client is powered from the USB port of the PC,
which eliminates the clutter of an AC adapter or the need to carry a bulky adapter.

The Model 4117 uses an advanced radio design and an adjustable external antenna to
provide superior range and data speeds in a wide range of installations. The maximum
indoor range of the Model 4117 is typically 300 feet. The data rate is up to 11 Mbps, which
provides the speed needed for network applications like high-speed Internet sharing, printer
sharing, multi-player gaming and file exchanges.

The Model 4117 provides the highest level of security specified by the 802.11b wireless
standard, with up to 128 bit Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP).

The ZoomAir USB client comes with SmartConnect software, which delivers on the promise of
easy wireless mobility by simplfying the configuration process normally required when a
network user tries to connect to a wireless LAN away from home.
