(Procedures will be the same in Windows XP/Me/98.) Note2: If you have installed the Wireless LAN CardBus Card driver & utility before, please uninstall the old version first. Note3: Be sure not to connect the Wireless LAN CardBus Card before the installation is finished. A. Execute the “Setup.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter C. Click “Next” to begin copying the files to your hard disk. D. Click “Finish” to complete the installation.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter E. You may see the driver doesn’t have the Microsoft Digital Signature. This software is tested and works correctly with Windows. Select “Yes “. F. Restart the computer and connect the Wireless LAN CardBus Card to your computer. Please wait for 2-3 minutes for the system to find the device. The Wireless LAN CardBus Card is now successfully installed. Note: When you complete the installation, the Utility icon will appear on the system tray.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter Chapter 3 Using the Configuration & Monitor Utility The Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you configure the Wireless LAN CardBus Card and monitor the statistics of the communication process. Double-click the icon on the system tray to view the configuration mode. This utility can be used to change the following configuration parameters when the device is active. Please continue to read the following instructions. 3.1 Using Utility 3.1.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter The left window shows you the available profiles that you have create. UP: Up the priority of the profile you select. Down: Down the priority of the profile you select. New: Create a new profile (It will pop up a new windows let you configure the Network setting and WEP setting). Edit: edit the profile you select (It will pop up a new windows let you configure the Network setting and WEP setting). Delete: delete the profile you select.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3.1.2 Network Setting Click “New” in the Network page to set up the necessary parameters of the profile, and click “Submit” after the configuration has been changed. Profile name: Name the profile name Operation mode: Selects the following network modes ¾ Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point. ¾ Ad-Hoc –This mode indicates the 802.11 peer-to-peer operation.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3.1.3 WEP Setting Additional security can be achieved by using the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encryption. WEP encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio, using one of the keys entered from this panel. Enable the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) option in order to activate WEP encryption for transmissions between the stations and the Access Point. WEP is an authentication algorithm, which protects authorized Wireless LAN users against eavesdropping.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3.1.4 Status Operation mode: Shows the following network modes ¾ Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the presence of an 802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point. ¾ Ad-Hoc –This mode indicates the 802.11 peer-to-peer operation. All communication is done from client to client without the use of an Access Point. Channel: Shows the numbers of the radio channel used for the networking.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3.1.5 Information It shows the current Firmware , Driver, Application, DLL Version and MAC Address of the device.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3.2 Configuration & Monitor Utility Under Windows XP A. Click on the network icon in the System Tray Icon. B. Next, click the “Properties” Button. C. If you want to stop using the Windows XP built-in application, un-check the “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings” option. When you uncheck that option you are able to use the Wireless LAN CardBus Card’s Configuration & Monitor Utility under Windows XP.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter 3.3 Using WinXP Wireless Zero configuration for WPA setup Step1: A. Check and make sure that the Wireless Zero Configuration service is running. Click Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel Æ Administrative Tools Æ Services Since WPA security standard has been defined after Windows XP lunch date, then you should also update your current Wireless Zero Configuration utility version to the latest.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter B. Open the Wireless utility Click Advanced and the following screen will appear. Over the WPA wireless Network, click Configure.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter C. Verify that the Network Authentication is WPA and the Data encryption is TKIP or AES. (The encryption type should match the WPA setting of your Access Point.) D. Click Authentication tab to select EAP type. (The EAP type should match the authentication server before access the authenticated network.) After clicking OK, the Wireless workstation will be able to associate with the AP previously get authenticated by a authentication Server.

Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter Chapter 5 Troubleshooting This section provides solutions to problems usually encountered during the installation and operation of this Wireless LAN CardBus Card. Read the description below to solve your problems. 9 If you encounter difficulty using / installing the Wireless LAN CardBus Card, this may be related to various causes: z Out-of range situation, which prevents the card from establishing a wireless connection with the network.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter Chapter 6 Glossary A Ad-Hoc Mode - A client setting that provides independent peer-to-peer connectivity in a wireless LAN. An alterative setup is where PCs communicate with each other through an access point. An Ad-hoc integrated wireless LAN is a group of computers, each has a Wireless LAN adapter, Connected as an independent wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless LAN is applicable at a departmental scale for a branch or SOHO operation.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter E Encryption - A security method that applies a specific algorithm to data in order to alter the data's appearance and prevent other devices from reading the information. Ethernet - The most widely used LAN access method, which is defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Ethernet is normally a shared media LAN meaning all devices on the network segment share total bandwidth. Ethernet networks operate at 10Mbp using CSMA/CD to run over 10Base T cables.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter LAN - A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). M MAC Address - 12-digit hexadecimal number that identifies a networking product on the network. Mbps (Megabits per second) - One million bits per second; unit of measurement for data transmission.
Wireless LAN PCMCIA Adapter Signal Strength - The signal level indicates the strength of the signal as received at the wireless network interface. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) - A standard network protocol that can be used to manage networks locally, or worldwide via the Internet. Spread Spectrum - Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communication systems.
