Copyright © 2002 Intel Corporation. Legal Information Introduction to Wireless Networking The Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Adapter is an Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN network product.
Identifying a WLAN All adapters and access points in a WLAN use a Network Name, or Service Set Identifier (SSID) to identify the WLAN. The SSID indicates what WLAN you are communicating with. Wireless Security Wireless networking devices transmit information through the air. Without implementing security, it is easy for an unauthorized person to intercept the information. A common way of implementing security and protecting information is encryption.
Unless otherwise specified, the information in this document applies to both the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN CardBus Adapter and the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN PCI Adapter. Features of the Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN Adapters include: • • • • • • IEEE 802.11a specification compatibility. This open architecture allows Intel® PRO/Wireless 5000 LAN devices to communicate with wireless devices from other vendors that comply with the IEEE 802.11a standard.
