Users Manual CF Card XI-835C 1 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card Quick Start Guide I. Network Configuration 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card is an IEEE802.11/802.11b compliant CF Type I DSSS wireless LAN adapter. It fully supports wireless networking under Windows 2000/XP/CE. 11Mbps Wireless CF Card can be operated in Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure network configurations. Ad-Hoc mode allows 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card users to join a Basic Service Set (i.e., peer-to-peer mode, without access point). CF Card users to join an Extended Basic Service Set (i.e., connect to access point) Infrastructure mode allows 11Mbps Wireless LAN Wireless Network Infrastructure Network Access Point Ad-hoc Network Wired Network II. Package Content 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card x 1 Quick Installation Guide x 1 Product CD-ROM x 1 III. Wireless LAN CF Card and Utility Installation under Pocket PC/Handheld PC Installation of the 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card under CE 3.0/Pocket PC 2002 1. Establish a connection between host PC and PDA (only for hand-held) device by Microsoft Active Sync program. 2. Insert and run SanDisk AutoRun Program Source CD-ROM/Pocket PC 2002 to install the driver and utility. 3. Once SanDisk ConnectPlus Front Page appears, click on Installation 4. Following the necessary prompts. Once SanDisk ConnectPlus Front Page re-appears, click Exit 5. Click OK and reset your Pocket PC accordingly. 6. Insert the 11Mbps Wireless LAN Compact Flash Card into the compact flash slot of your PDA (only for hand-held). The PDA (only for hand-held) will auto-detect the Wireless LAN Compact Flash Card and automatically install the corresponding driver. 2 7. Assign an IP address to your Wireless LAN Compact Flash Card. You may either choose to give a fixed IP address or have the Wireless LAN Compact Flash Card automatically obtain an IP address from your DHCP server. Set the Proxy server, DNS, WINS if needed
(Most of IP addresses are automatically assigned.) 8. Reset your PDA (only for hand-held) to complete the installation.
Caveat n When the Pocket PC is idle (not in use) without A/C power being present, it is highly advised to remove the 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card in order to prevent from complete battery drain. n Due to WinCE's nature of the first application at power-on resuming to that at power-off, if you are stuck at the utility program, you may use the PDA's (only for hand-held) reset bottom to terminate it. And activate it again when needed. n Sometimes, your wireless connection to AP may disconnect for any reason. You can reset and force a connection request by going to utility program, then select
"Configuration", check parameters, then select " Apply" to force a re-scan. n If your device roams to a new AP which is in a different subnet, you may need the following two actions: (1) Unplug and re-insert the Wireless LAN Compact Flash Card, or (2) Hard reset your device to force an execution of "release and renew" of an re-assignment of IP address in a DHCP Access Point environment. IV. Wireless LAN CF Card and Utility Installation under Windows XP/2000/NT/98/ME Installation of the11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card under Windows XP 1. If your PC has a compact flash type I slot, simply insert the Wireless LAN CF Card into the CF slot. If not, use a CF/PCMCIA Adapter as described in the next procedure. 2. Firmly insert the 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card into the CF/PCMCIA Adapter, figured as below. Then insert the 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card into the PCMCIA slot and start Windows. CF/PCMCIA Adapter CF Card 3 3. Windows will auto-detect the Wireless LAN CF Card and a Found New Hardware Wizard window will show up. 4. Select Install from a list or specific (Advanced) and insert the SanDisk AutoRun Program CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. Check the CD-ROM drive item and click on Next to install the driver. 5. Once SanDisk Connect Plus Front Page appears, click on Installation 6. Select Windows/92/ME/2000/XP 7. Select the necessary prompts, especially click Yes to proceed to insert Microsoft Hotfix for Windows XP 8. The windows will find IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN/CF Card . Click on Next to continue. 9. Click Finish to complete the installation. After installing the Wireless LAN CF Card, the Windows XP will display a Wireless Network Connection # message. Click on the message and the automatically and allow users to connect a wireless infrastructure network (Access Point), shown as follows:
Automatic Wireless Network Configuration will then appear You may click the Advanced button to make advanced configuration for the 11Mbp Wireless LAN CF Card, shown as below. 4 For more information on using the automatic wireless network configuration please refer to Windows XP Help file. However, the WLAN Utility, which comes with the Wireless LAN CF Card, provides you more tools to configure the 11Mbps Wireless LAN CF Card and monitor the wireless connection. For more information on installing and using the WLAN utility, please refer to the following sections Installation of the Wireless LAN Utility and Usage of the WLAN Utility. Note: To use the WLAN utility under Windows XP, you need to disable the Automatic Wireless Network Configuration first. Steps are described as follows:
n Right click the Network Connections icon. Select Properties. n Go to the Wireless Networks tab. n Uncheck the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box and click the OK button (see the above picture). 5 FCC Information This device, CF Card (model no.: XI-835C), complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
