other IEEE 802.11b compliant LAN systems Wireless stations can be equipped with the SDW11b, but also with other WLAN PC Cards. Both the SDW11b and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless functionality. Peer-to-Peer (Ad-hoc) Workgroup The Peer-to-Peer workgroup configuration enables you to quickly set up a small wireless workgroup, where the workgroup participants can exchange files using features like “Files and Printer Sharing” as supported by Microsoft® Networking.
Step 1 3. Click “YES” to proceed the installation. 4. Click “OK” to complete the driver installation.
To verify if the installation of the driver was completed successfully: 1. 2. 3. 4.

TROUBLESHOOTING Introduction This chapter provides typical problems with their own specific troubleshooting tips. Common Troubleshooting Tips LED Activity If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing your SDW11b product, the error may be related to various causes : - Out-of range situation, which prevents the SDW11b from establishing a wireless connection with the network. - Configuration mismatch, which prevents the SDW11b from establishing a wireless connection with the (correct) network.
Some devices with non-powerful CPU may suffer their performance significantly. If the system is very slow, check - If you are opening many windows, close them - Change the antenna orientation for better signal reception - Check the signal strength if it is weak move toward the AP. SDW11b Does Not Operate After Returning From the Stand-by or Sleeping Mode This may happen when the driver is not functioning. Reinstall the SDW11b driver again.
