Chapter 2 Before You Start AcroLAN

To use the AcroLAN adapter with a computing device (desktop personal computer,

notebook, laptop computer, portable or hand-held device), the device must be equipped

with an internal or external PC Card Type II or Type III slot. All drivers and supporting

software (card and socket services) for the client adapter slot must be loaded and

configured.

Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may need to

provide during driver installation:

• Your Wireless Client Name

• Your Wireless SSID

• Your computer's unique client name and workgroup name

• For Windows NT, a free interrupt and I/O address.

• For your network account, your user name and password

• If you’re not using a DHCP server, your IP address, gateway address, and subnet

mask

After unpacking the card, make sure the following items are present and in good

condition:

• Acrowave AcroLAN AWL-1100 Series PC Card Adapter

• AWL-1100 Series install software and documentation CD for Windows

If any item is damaged or missing, contact your PC Card adapter supplier. Save all the

shipping and the packing material to repack the unit should service be required.

Caution

Before you start, close all working windows and backup important data.
