Share your Internet access by using just one connection, share printers and other peripheral devices, share data and image files between networked PCs and use other network enabled sharing resources. A. Peer-to-Peer Networking:
An Ad-Hoc Network can be easily set up with some PCs and our IEEE802.11b WLAN PC Card(s) or our other WLAN devices. This network topology is suitable for trade shows, point of sales, home or small office environment and alike. 6 B. Local Area Networking:
With some IEEE802.11b WLAN PC Card(s) and Access Points, it is easy to construct a LAN with access to the Internet for enterprise use. The IEEE802.11b WLAN card and Access Point will automatically work at the most suitable frequency when the Access Point is set within the proper range of the WLAN card. 7 1.4 Advantages for Using a Wireless Network The IEEE802.11b WLAN PC Card can wirelessly transmit and receive data, minimizing the need for wired connections, at a speed of up to 11 megabit per second. It enables LAN users to locate their PC/notebook with access to real-time information anywhere in their organization without wires and cables. The configuration of the IEEE802.11b WLAN PC Card is easy to switch between peer-to-peer networks and full infrastructure networks. It is, therefore, suitable both to a small number of users in a closed environment and to a broad area with great many users in a large office complex. The advantages to adapting a wireless network are as follows:
- No Placement restrictions: PCMCIA Card provides access to network services without wires; therefore, it gives you more freedom to organize your living and working space. Lower Cost: In some areas where it is hard or expensive to create a wired network, such as old buildings and classrooms, wireless networking can be your solution.
- Flexible Workgroups and Lower Cost: For workspaces that are frequently reconfigured for temporarily use such as demo for exhibitions, wireless networking is easy to set up.
- Networked Conference Rooms: Users can access the network as they move from meeting room to meeting room.
- Ad Hoc Networking: On site consulting and small workgroups may increase productivity with quick network setup and collaboration software.
- Branch office Networking: With an Access Point to bridge between the LAN and Internet, wireless networking provides an easy to install, use and maintain network for a remote or sales office.
- Campus-Wide Network Mobility: The roaming capabilities allow enterprise to set up easy to use wireless networks that cover the entire campus transparently. 8

Troubleshooting If you encounter some problems installing the IEEE802.11b WLAN PC card or you want to confirm whether your card is installed properly or not, refer to the procedure below after you have installed the card. 7.1 Check the Various Properties of the Card To verify if your PC Card has been set into the PCMCIA slot properly, you can follow the procedures below. Click on the Control Panel icon and then on the PC Card. Check the Socket Status of PC Card Properties whether there is a PCMCIA card in one of the sockets or not. If you find the IEEE802.11b WLAN PC Card
(PCMCIA) in one of the sockets, it means a card is detected. 56 To verify if the driver has been set in your computer properly, you can follow the procedures below. Right click the My Computer icon and then select Properties. You will enter your system properties. Select the Device Manager tab and click on the Network Adapter. You will find the IEEE802.11b WLAN PC Card if it is installed successfully.
! If there are Question-mark (?) or Exclamation-mark (!) in yellow on your IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter in the previous picture (PC Card Properties & System Properties), please make sure you have inserted the right PC Card and the proper driver and utility have been installed. If you are not sure, follow the procedure below to reinstall
(update) the driver. 1. Enter System Properties and click on the Device Manager tab. 2. Click on Network Adapter and select the IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter. 3. Click on the Driver tab of the IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter properties, and then click on Update Driver button. 57 4. Follow the Update Device Driver Wizard to complete the driver installation. 58 7.2 Microsoft Networking Checklist In order for the IEEE802.11b WLAN to run properly, some network items must be presented in the Microsoft Network Neighborhood setup. To check and activate the network setup, right click the Network Neighborhood and select Properties with your mouse. The following items should be presented in the network setup:
1. IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter (PCMCIA) 2. IPX/SPX-compatible Protocol#IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter
(PCMCIA) 3. NetBEUI# IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter (PCMCIA) 4. TCP/IP # IEEE802.11b Wireless LAN Adapter (PCMCIA) 5. File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks 6. Client for Microsoft Networks If any of these items are missing, please follow the instructions below to install them properly:
1. Set up the Network Protocols:
i. Click the Add button and select Protocol on Network Setting Configuration. 59 ii. Click Add and then choose the network protocol. Select Microsoft as the manufacturer and NetBEUI, TCP/IP, and IPX/SPX-compatible for the network protocols. Then click OK. iii. Now your network protocol should be set. Please check if your network needs any special requirements to operate in your office environment. Note: If you are following the Step-by-Step Installation Guide, please refer back to Chapter 2 Step 8 AND DO NOT REBOOT THE SYSTEM UNTIL YOU ARE FINISHED WITH Step 9. 2. Network Service for Microsoft Networking:
i. Click Add and select Service. 60 ii. Select Microsoft as the manufacturer and choose File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks for network service;
