Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Product Reference Guide 3
Chapter 2 Wireless LAN Adapter
The Spectrum24 Wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter allows ISA
(Industry Standard Architecture) or PC Card equipped host
systems to configure, connect to and establish a
Spectrum24 network. The ISA adapter version of the
WLAN implements the Plug and Play standard. When
installed in a system with a Plug and Play BIOS (basic input
output system), the card requests system resources. The
system allocates an Interrupt Request (IRQ), Input-Output
(I/O) port and memory address range. Host systems
without Plug and Play BIOS acquire Plug and Play
functionality through the CSS (Card and Socket services)
utilities that normally come bundled with system software.
Features Include:
• Low power operation for battery-powered devices with
PC Card slots.
• Standard NDIS (Network Driver Interface
Specification) and ODI (Open Data-link
Interface) drivers.
• Windows 95, NT 4.0/3.51 driver support.
• Card and Socket Services support.
• Plug and Play support.
• Antenna options (molded external antenna available
for PC Card only).
• Power management (Continuously Aware Mode or
Power Save Polling mode)
