INSTALLATION FOR WINDOWS
The following section will assist you to install Laputa MiniPCI WLAN adapter
successfully. You will install driver firstly and then plug in the Laputa MiniPCI
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 MiniPCI 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 for Windows (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 for Windows (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 for Windows (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 MiniPCI
adapter successfully.
