Preface Obtaining Technical Assistance Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for MS-DOS x OL-1744-02
C H A P T E R 1 Overview This chapter describes the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapter, also referred to as an adapter or client adapter, and illustrates its role in a wireless network.
Chapter 1 Overview Introduction to the Wireless LAN Adapters Introduction to the Wireless LAN Adapters The Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters, also referred to as adapters, are radio modules that provide transparent, wireless, data communications between fixed, portable, or mobile devices and other wireless devices or a wired network infrastructure. The adapters are fully compatible when used in devices supporting Plug-and-Play (PnP) technology.
Chapter 1 Overview Parts of the Client Adapter Terminology Throughout this document, these terms are used: • client adapter—Refers to all three types of adapters • PC card, LM card, or PCI client adapter—Refers only to a specific adapter • workstation (or station)—Refers to a computing device with an installed client adapter • End Node—A client node that is located at the end of the Network Tree.
Chapter 1 Overview Radio Ranges Radio Antenna The type of antenna used depends on your client adapter: Note • PC cards have an integrated, permanently attached diversity antenna. The benefit of the diversity antenna system is improved coverage. The system works by allowing the card to switch and sample between its two antenna ports in order to select the optimum port for receiving data packets.
Chapter 1 Overview Data Transparency and Protocols Note For a detailed explanation of antenna types and configurations along with guidelines on selecting antennas for specific environments, see the Aironet Antenna Guide on Cisco’s. web site: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/air_legc/antennas/index.htm • Physical Environments—Clear or open areas provide better radio range than closed or filled areas. Also, the less cluttered the work environment, the greater the range.
Chapter 1 Overview System Configurations Table 1-1 Protocols Supported Drivers Operating Systems NDIS2 MS-DOS, Windows 3.xx Packet MS-DOS, Windows 3.xx Security Features The Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapter employs Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Technology, previously developed for military anti-jamming and low probability of intercept radio systems. The access point must be set to the same SSID as all other devices on the wireless infrastructure.
Chapter 1 Overview System Configurations Wireless Infrastructure In a wireless infrastructure (Figure 1-2), an access point is used as a stand alone root unit. The root unit is not attached to any wired LAN (such as an Ethernet LAN), but functions as a hub linking all stations together. This configuration is similar to the ad hoc network, except that the access point serves as the focal point for communications.
Chapter 1 Overview System Configurations Figure 1-3 Wireless Infrastructure with Workstations Accessing a Wired LAN Access Point (Root Unit) Wired LAN 45835 Access Point (Root Unit) Extended Infrastructure Using Repeaters An access point can be configured as a stand-alone repeater to extend the range of your infrastructure, or to overcome an RF blocking obstacle (Figure 1-4).
Chapter 1 Overview Coverage Options Coverage Options The system architecture options of the wireless station and access points provide for a variety of coverage alternatives and flexibility. The system can be designed to provide a wide coverage area with minimal overlap (Figure 1-5) or coverage with heavy overlap (Figure 1-6). The latter improves system performance and protection against downtime in the event of a component failure.
Chapter 1 Overview Coverage Options Figure 1-6 Heavy Overlap Coverage Option 65522 Wired LAN Multiple Overlapping Systems Coverage Multiple systems can operate in the same vicinity (Figure 1-7). The architecture provides multiple channels, which can exist in the same area with virtually no interference to each other. In this mode, each system must be configured with different SSIDs and different channels, which prevent clients from roaming to access points of a different wireless system.
C H A P T E R 2 Installing the Hardware This section describes the procedures for installing the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapter.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Safety Information Safety Information Follow the guidelines in this section to ensure proper operation and safe use of the client adapter. FCC Safety Compliance Statement The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. Cisco Aironet products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Unpacking the Client Adapter Warning In order to comply with RF exposure limits established in the ANSI C95.1 standards, it is recommended when using a laptop with a PC card client adapter that the adapter’s integrated antenna is positioned more than 2 inches (5 cm) from your body or nearby persons during extended periods of transmitting or operating time.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Unpacking the Client Adapter Antenna Connectors The LM card version has two female MicroMate (also called MMCX ) antenna connectors on one end. See Figure 2-1. All antennas and cables attached to the adapter must be equipped with male MicroMate connectors. The two antenna connectors allow a Diversity Antenna or two separate antennas to be attached to the Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Adapter.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Inserting the Client Adapter into a Computing Device Detaching a Remote Antenna Step 1 Remove the adapter from the PC card slot. Step 2 Grasp the end of the antenna cable lead by the connector. Step 3 Gently pull the connector away from the adapter until it comes free. Inserting the Client Adapter into a Computing Device This section provides instructions for inserting a PC card or a PCI client adapter into a computing device.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Inserting the Client Adapter into a Computing Device Figure 2-2 Note Inserting a PC Card into a Computing Device You can remove and reinsert your PC card when necessary. See the “Removing the Client Adapter” section on page 2-7 for instructions. Inserting a PCI Client Adapter Step 1 Turn off the PC and all its components. Step 2 Remove the computer cover. On most Pentium PCs, PCI expansion slots are white. Refer to your PC documentation for slot identification.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Removing the Client Adapter Step 5 Tilt the adapter to allow the antenna connector and LEDs to slip through the opening in the CPU back panel. Step 6 Press the client adapter into the empty slot until the connector is firmly seated. Caution Do not force the adapter into the expansion slot as this could damage both the adapter and the slot. If the adapter does not insert easily, remove the adapter and reinsert it.
Chapter 2 Installing the Hardware Removing the Client Adapter Step 4 Remove the screw from the top of the CPU back panel above the PCI expansion slot that holds your client adapter. Step 5 Pull up firmly on the client adapter to release it from the slot, and carefully tilt the adapter to allow it to clear the opening in the CPU back panel. Step 6 Reinstall the screw on the CPU back panel, and replace the computer cover.
