The single Access Point wirelessly provides multiple data access multiple desktop or laptop PCs within the effective range.
PC Card and PCI Adapter
Access Point
The Wireless PC Card and PCI Adapter support legacy Ethernet LAN network configuration options as defined by the IEEE 802 standards committee.
The Wireless PC Card and PCI Adapter can be configured as one of the following:
An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter, that is connected as an independent wireless LAN. Computers in a specific Ad-Hoc wireless LAN must be configured to share the same radio channel.
Ad-Hoc wireless LAN configurations are appropriate for branch level departments or SOHO operations.
The Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter users and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter in a BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure through the Access Point.
An Infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a PC to a wired LAN and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for two Wireless PC Cards or PCI Adapters. Since the Access Point is able to forward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled.
The use of a unique ID in a BSS is essential. Any PCs equipped with Wireless PC Cards or PCI Adapters and configured without roaming options in an independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID that corresponds to the Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter used in the BSS. Check your Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter for its BSS ID or use the Access Point Browser Utility program to determine the BSS ID.
The Infrastructure Wireless LAN configuration is appropriate for enterprise-scale wireless access to a central database or as a wireless application for mobile users.
A point-to-point LAN configuration is possible when two Access Points are linked with an optional directional antenna (the directional antenna is an optional accessory; please contact your dealer for information). The optional directional antenna makes LAN Interconnection to a wireless backbone between buildings possible.
Infrastructure configuration also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). The continuous network allows users to roam freely within an ESS. All Wireless PC Cards, PCI Adapters, and Access Points within one ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID and use the same radio channel.
Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, choose a feasible radio channel and optimum Access Point position. Proper Access Point positioning and a clear radio signal will greatly enhance the performance.
In order to install and use the Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter, your PC system must meet the following requirements:

Mode: The Mode setting determines the architecture of your wireless LAN. Choose Ad-Hoc or Infrastructure Mode, depending on your network type. A brief explanation of each mode follows.
SSID (Service Set Identifier): SSID is the unique name that is shared among all clients and Access Points in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all clients or Access Points participating in the same network. The SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 30 characters.
Tx Rate (transmit rate): Tx Rate selects the allowable transfer rates of the wireless client. To optimize performance and range, the Tx Rate should be set to Fully Automatic. This will automatically adjust the transfer speed for the best performance and longest range.
NOTE: The AP must support the Tx rate setting. If the AP does not support the Tx rate, undesired results may occur.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): WEP is an encryption scheme that is used to protect your wireless data communications. WEP uses a combination of 64-bit keys or 128-bit keys to provide access control to your network and encryption security for every data transmission. To decode a data transmission, each wireless client on the network must use an identical 64-bit or 128-bit key.
NOTE: This feature is only available in Infrastructure Mode and must also be enabled on the Access Point. Select the WEP tab to enable or disable this feature.
PS Mode: Power Saving Mode enables or disables the power saving features of your wireless adapter. When enabled on a laptop, the power saving mode can reduce power consumption by the wireless PC card and extend the battery life of your laptop. This setting is only implemented in a network that is operating in Infrastructure mode.
Channel: This setting specifies the default 802.11b channel used by the Wireless LAN to communicate. In an Infrastructure type network without an Access Point active on the default channel, clients will scan through all available channels searching for a network with a matching SSID.
