Congratulations on your purchase of the Askey PC Card! The Askey PC Card is a wireless network
interface card (NIC) for any computer equipped with a Personal Computer Memory Card
International Association (PCMCIA) Type II or Type III slot. ASKEY PC Card conforms to the
PCMCIA release 2.x standard and is designed to meet the IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN (WLAN)
standard ratified in June 1997. As a result of the completion of the standard, the interoperability of

Wireless LANs are a complementary extension to existing wired LANs, offering complete mobility
while maintaining continuous network connectivity to both corporate and home Intranets. They add
a new level of convenience for LAN users. This is accomplished through the use of a device known
as the Access Point (AP). By utilizing the Access Point in the office, you can easily establish
mobile network connections to the enterprise Intranet or Internet. Moreover, you can bring your
ASKEY PC Card home to make your home-networking dream come true! A home-dedicated
Access Point, with built-in internet gateway capability, allows your family to share a Modem and
one ISP account simultaneously with no excessive, tedious ties! Connected anywhere, at any time,
your family will feel closer by the invisible magic of ASKEY PC Card!
