INSTALLATION FOR WINDOWS
The following section will assist you to install Laputa PCMCIA WLAN adapter successfully. You will
install driver firstly and then plug in the Laputa PCMCIA WLAN adapter, and finally set the network
properties to accommodate resource sharing and select the type of wireless network that you want to
install.
In order to establish your wireless network connection, make sure some steps below will be performed.
■ Install the Access Point (AP) at first if you use Infrastructure network mode.
■ Install the driver using the Installation CD.
■ Plug in the Laputa PCMCIA wireless LAN adapter.
■ Install the network protocol(s) required to communicate on your network. Most likely you will
need the TCP/IP protocol.
The PRISM WLAN Configuration Utility is installed simultaneously with the driver by executing the
PRISM_ForWindows(2-0-9).exe file. Note also that some versions of Microsoft Windows operating
systems require administrator to install software. If this is the case for your operating system, be sure
that you have such privileges before executing the PRISM_ForWindows(2-0-9).exe file. To upgrade an
existing driver, it is not necessary to remove your PRISM driver from your computer. Simply run the
PRISM_ForWindows(2-0-9).exe file to replace the existing driver with the latest version. After the new
driver is installed, maybe you must restart the operating system (depend on the Windows’ OS).
Please follow the following steps one by one in order to install the Laputa PCMCIA adapter
successfully.
