Netkey Series WLAN Card 2 INTRODUCTION The Netkey WLAN adapter is a wireless network client that complies with the IEEE 802.11b standard on wireless LANs. The IEEE 802.11b standards compliance means this adapter gives you the flexibility to connect it to any 802.11b network. The IEEE 802.
Netkey Series WLAN Card 3 WIRELESS NETWORK OVERVIEW A wireless local area network (LAN) is a flexible data communications system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN. Using radio frequency (RF) technology, wireless LANs transmit and receive data over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, wireless LANs combine data connectivity with user mobility.
Netkey Series WLAN Card 3.1 Installation Considerations Designed to go up to 300 feet (100 meters) indoors and up to 900 feet (273 meters) outdoors, Netkey WLAN adapter lets you access your network from virtually anywhere you want. Keep in mind, however, that the number and thickness of walls, ceilings or other objects that the wireless signals must pass thru may limit range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF noise in your home or business.
Netkey Series WLAN Card 4 Netkey WIRELESS NETWORK SCENARIOS The Netkey WLAN adapter enables you to: lConnect your computer to an Ad-Hoc workgroup of wireless computing devices (see Figure 1-1). lConnect your computer to a Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) network that includes a Residential Gateway (RG) access point (see Figure 1-2). lConnect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) Infrastructure that includes Access Points, or other IEEE 802.11 compliant LAN systems (see Figure 1-3 and Figure 1-4).
Netkey Series WLAN Card Home Networking With the TwinMOS Netkey WLAN adapter, wireless access to the Internet or other computers is at your fingertips.
Netkey Series WLAN Card Figure 1-3 Stand Alone Wireless LAN Figure 1-4 LAN Infrastructure It’s Easy The Netkey functions like any standard wired Ethernet card, but Netkey does not need any wires! Where an Ethernet card requires a cable connection to a hub and/or patch panel, the cable physically ties you down to the location of the wired connection. Netkey allows you to connect your computer to a Local Area Network (LAN) system from anywhere within the wireless coverage area.
Netkey Series WLAN Card 5 Getting Started On the following pages we will show you two modes of networking: ¦ Infrastructure – using an Access Point Router, such as the B-AP-12. ¦ Ad-Hoc – directly connecting to another computer, using a wireless network adapter, such as the Booming B111 in a laptop computer and the NetKey B220 in a PDA. An Infrastructure network Type includes an Access Point Router .
