This chapter will teach you how to install the Warplink and perform the necessary setups
before use. It is assumed that you already have an existing Internet connection. The
Warplink installation will build your wireless LAN connection one computer at a time, starting
with your computer that has the Internet connection. It can be a desktop or a notebook
computer. On each computer, you will first install the hardware (PCMCIA or ISA/PCI), the
driver, and the software (SYGATE)

1. Turn off the computer and remove the plug from the electrical socket.
2. Open the case of your computer, for more detail please refer to the documentation
provided by the computer manufacturer.
3. Touch the chassis of the computer or any metal surface to ground yourself.
4. Locate an empty ISA or PCI slot (depending on the card you have purchased), and
remove its slot cover by unscrewing the screw. Keep the screw for later use.

will not snap into place, simply pull out the card and
try again.
