1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the RangeLAN2 7420
Series PC Card Wireless LAN Adapter. As with all members of
the RangeLAN2 family, the RangeLAN2 7420 Series PC Card is
a long range, high performance, wireless LAN adapter card with
minimal power requirements. Setting it apart from the
competition is its durability and the capability for you to choose
the antenna best suited for your host and application.
The RangeLAN2 7420 PC Card was designed to be a “plug-and-
play” product. It provides a choice of antennas designed and
manufactured by Proxim for long range and ease of use. Plug the
adapter into your portable computer’s PCMCIA Type II slot,
attach an antenna, and load the driver. Then you’re connected
without wires to your network’s existing electronic mail, printers,
software applications, and other network resources. That’s how
simple it is!
The RangeLAN2 7420 PC Card supports Windows 95,
Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows CE, Windows NT,
Novell NetWare client software, or any DOS-based networking
software that supports ODI or NDIS drivers. Computers with the
RangeLAN2 7420 PC Card installed “look” like standard
network nodes to the operating system.
Today, Proxim is the leading supplier of spread spectrum radio
networking technology for local area environments. Proxim’s
unmatched spread spectrum networking expertise, combined with
the company’s extensive experience serving the communication
needs of the mobile computing user, are some of the reasons why
