GETTING STARTED
Getting To Know The 22Mbps Wireless Network PC Card
WIRELESS NETWORK PC Card’S LEDs
Power LED
ON when the unit is powered up
WLAN LED
ON indicates WLAN connection; blink indicates wireless activity
Setting Up The Wireless Network
There two wireless network topologies that you can setup your wireless card with.
One is called “
Ad-Hoc
”, and the other is “
Infrastructure
”.
On an Ad-Hoc network,
two or more computers each has at least one wireless network client device such as
wireless PC Card installed, establish point-to-point data communication with each
other. While on an Infrastructure network, every wireless station communicates
through Access Points.
Setting Up Ad-Hoc Network
The idea of Ad-Hoc Network is rather simple. All the wireless station are set to use the
same BSS ID and channel to establish communication linkage with each other to form
a point-to-point network for data transmission and reception.
