Chapter1. Product Overview 1-1. Introduction to The Client Adapter: This module is made up of the IEEE 802.11b MAC, Baseband, and radio components, PCMCIA interface, two internal antenna. It uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology and implements DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK modulation. This provides a very robust radio channel and excellent receiver sensitivity.
1-4. LED Display Indicator 1-4-1. Purpose The LED display indicator is the function that provides the users to review the received RF signal strength of NIC. It is convenient for users to adjust the location of NIC and then gain better receive signal strength refer to LED sight. 1-4-2. Description The LED display window is based on the index of the received RF signal strength. it specifies the condition of “POOR”, “FAIR”, “GOOD”, and “EXCELLENT”, respectively. TABLE 1.
Chapter2. Installing The Client Adapter 2-1 Installing The Driver & Utility (Apply to any supported OS) Step 1: Insert our setup CD into your CDROM Step 2: Execute the setup.exe on our CD Step 3: If you haven’t ever install any wireless LAN card’s driver, the following window will pop up, else the setup program will uninstall your previous driver for a afresh installation. Step 4: Press “Next”.
Step 5: Press “Finish”, and then your installation is ok. Chapter3. Using The Utility The Wireless LAN Monitor Utility enables you to make configuration changes on your 11Mbps Wireless LAN Card. The Wireless LAN Utility consists of window with 5 items for you to monitor and configure the 11Mbps Wireless LAN Card: Info, Status, Configuration, Encryptions and About. 3-1.
Card with the same SSID and the same channel to join. WEP security rejection: This will occur if you join an wireless network with incorrect WEP key. The other items in the table are details about the link state and will only be available when the wireless LAN card is associated with an Access Points or other wireless LAN card. SSID: This is also known as network name.
3-2. Status: The Status tab will show you the detailed status of the wireless net card. State This field is used to display the current state of the Wireless LAN Card. When the state is “Associated “ means normal flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access point. BSSID is shown in the form of hex digits. Networking is available.
These two fields display the instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit throughput displayed in bytes per second. These values are updated every two seconds. Link Quality The Link Quality bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graphically displays the quality of the link between the node and its Access Point.
Profile: You can save various wireless settings for different environment. The system allows you to have 5 different configurations. Network Name: It is also known as SSID and is the unique name shared among all points in the wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. Network Type: This field allows you to select from a list of supported Network “Modes”.
From the WEP encryption item, pull down the menu and it will list three options: Disable – Allows wireless adapters communicate with Access Points without any data encryption. 64 Bit – Requires wireless stations to use data encryption with 64 Bit algorithm when communicating with the Access Point. 128 Bit – Allows wireless clients to communicate with the Access Point with 128 Bit encryption algorithm.
keys when they are generated using a Pass-phrase. 3-5. About: About tab shows the product version including the detail of Driver, Configuration Utility, and NIC firmware version. Users must use this version number when reporting their problems to technical support. Chapter4.
