WLCB54GS Manual 1.3 Hardware description 1 2 1. Power LED Indicate power status. 2. Link LED Blink: searching for wireless signal On: connected Off: disconnected 1.4 System Requirements • A laptop or notebook computer with an available 32-bit cardbus slot • Windows XP/2000/Me/98SE • At least 32 MB of memory and a 300 MHz processor • An 802.11g or 802.11b access point (for Infrastructure mode), or another 802.11g or 802.11b wireless adapter (for Ad-Hoc, Peer-to-Peer networking mode).
WLCB54GS Manual 1.5 Wireless LAN Modes There are two basically modes of networking for setting: A. Infrastucture mode Infrastructure networking differs from ad-hoc networking in that it includes an access point. Unlike the ad-hoc structure where users on the LAN contend the shared bandwidth, on an infrastructure network the access point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization.
WLCB54GS Manual Connect to Internet Modem Notebook with installed WLCB54GS Wirless Access Point Notebook with installed WLCB54GS B. Ad-Hoc mode Also known as a peer-to-peer network, an ad-hoc network is one that allows all workstations and computers in the network to act as servers to all other users on the network. Users on the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem.
