Overview What you can do with your Wireless LAN PC Card You can build a wireless LAN using the Wireless LAN PC Card PCWAC150S (subsequently referred to as "Wireless LAN PC Card"). Equipping multiple computers with Wireless LAN PC Cards and installing the supplied software enables the computers to communicate and exchange data without a physical connection. There are two basic configuration modes for a wireless LAN. In "Infrastructure Mode", communication is routed through a separately available 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN Access Point (subsequently referred to as "Access Point"). In "Peer-to-Peer Mode", no Access Point is used and the computers communicate directly with each other. If you connect your Access Point to a communication device (such as a cable modem, DSL modem, broadband router or ISDN router) or wired Ethernet LAN with an Internet connection, the computers in the wireless LAN can access the Internet. Note This product is a 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN PC Card conforming to the IEEE 802.11b standard. It is not compatible with products conforming to other standards (such as the IEEE 802.11a standard for 5 GHz wireless LANs). z Tips - For details regarding functions and operation of the Access Point, please refer to its documentation. - For information about file and printer sharing in a network environment, see Windows Help. 5
