Introduction

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) serves the same purpose as a conventional

wired Ethernet network (LAN) but without the wires. Computers are linked

together by radio waves. The wireless adaptor is your "wireless network card".

It turns your computer into a wireless station, allowing it to connect to other

wireless stations or wireless access points to share network resources including

Internet access. Your wireless adaptor is Wi-Fi certified to the IEEE 802.11b

standard. This ensures wireless connectivity among all wireless equipment that

meets the same 802.11b standard irrespective of vendor.

THIS PRODUCT CAN BE SET UP ON TWO TYPES OF WIRELESS NETWORKS

Infrastructure network

In an infrastructure network, your wireless adaptor connects your computer

to a wired network via a wireless access point. This enables your computer

to share all available resources including Internet access and peripherals on

the wired network.

Ad-hoc (peer to peer) network

This is a computer network built of wireless stations. Your wireless adaptor

connects your computer to other wireless stations for file sharing.

WIRELESS PRIVACY

Privacy is an important issue with wireless. These functions are provided for

access control and security:

Service Set ID (SSID)

This is a user specified name that uniquely identifies a wireless domain. You

must set your wireless adaptor to use the SSID for the wireless network.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

users from eavesdropping. When enabled, all wireless stations always transmit

data encrypted using a key of your choice. The receiving station will use the

same key for decryption.

Installing the Wireless Adaptor

IMPORTANT: Do not connect the wireless adaptor to your computer before

installing the supplied software from the manufacturer's CD. Otherwise if you

connect the adaptor to your computer Windows would pop up a message box

requesting the driver in which case click Cancel to proceed.

Windows XP comes with built in wireless adaptor software. You only need to

follow section 2.2 to install the driver. Please skip the procedure in section 2.1.
