Chapter 1. Product Overview
1-1. Introduction to The Wireless LAN Card
This wireless Local Area Network (LAN) card is composed of the IEEE 802.11b MAC with
CARDBUS interface, Baseband, radio components, and two built-in antennas. This
product adopts the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology using the
DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK modulations to provide a very stable wireless communication
quality and an excellent signal receiver capability.
This product features the compact size, low power consumption, and power management
functions, and provides a high-speed wireless data communication. Therefore, this
product is ideally suitable for being integrated into the personal mobile and handheld
platform.
1-2. Features
Conforms to IEEE 802.11b specification.
Transmits data rate up to the maximum speed of 11Mbps.
Dynamically scales the data rate to 11, 5.5, 2, and 1Mbps.
Automatic power management to reduce battery consumption.
Built-in diversity antenna.
Supports 64-bit /128-bit WEP encryption.
Driver supports Windows 98SE/Me and Windows2000/XP.
1-3. Physical Dimensions/Packaging
Dimensions: 118mm * 54mm * 5mm
This wireless LAN card conforms to the PC card Type II standard. There are two
LED-indicating lights to indicate Act/Link status.

1-4. LED Indicating Light
Link: The Link LED lights up when the adapter has an active connection. If the LED
isn’t on, the adapter isn’t interfacing with the network.
Act: Blinking of the Act LED indicates that both transmit and receive activity is
occurring.
1-5. System Requirements
1-5-1. Supported Platform
IBM PC/AT compatible computer
1-5-2. Supported Operation System
Windows 98SE/Me
Windows 2000/XP

Chapter 3. Using The Utility
The Configuration & Monitor Utility is a powerful application that helps you to configure the
card and monitor the statistics of the communication. Unlike the standard method of
configuring the card via the operating system utilities (e.g. Control Panel), this application
permits the dynamic modification of the configuration parameters while the card is
operating. It also offers some more configuration options. It appears as an icon on the
system tray of Windows every time the card is running (see Figure 3-1).
Figure 3-1. The icon of the Configuration & Monitor Utility
If this is your first time to use this card, you must start our utility and try to connect to any
available wireless networks. You can open it by double-clicking on this icon, the following
window will pop up.
Figure 3-2. Search for available wireless networks
After this card finds all available wireless networks, the following window will pop up.

Figure 3-3. All available wireless networks
You can choose any available network and click “Connect” to join it. If this network had
built a security mechanism, you must to enter a correct security key (eg. WEP) before click
“Connect”.
If you don’t know which network to join, or you want to configure and monitor your network,
you can click “Advanced” to go into the following window.

Signal Strength: It shows the received signal strength from the detected wireless device.
Signal Quality: It shows the quality of communication between the wireless LAN card and
the associated network (In Figure 3-4, it mean linksys-11g).
3-1. Configuration
The “Config” Tab contains several fields where operating parameters of the driver can be
viewed or changed.
3-1-1 Available Wireless Networks:
In this field, you can see all available wireless networks. In order to change the
configuration parameters, select a wireless network and then click the “Configure” button,
the following window will pop up. Make your changes and then click “OK” in order to save
your changes.

SSID: Network name.
WEP:
To prevent unauthorized user to access the data on wireless stations, the WLAN Card
offers a secure data encryption, known as WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). When you
select this item, the target 802.11 device must has the same encryption keys and be
configured to use encryption in order to communicate with each other. To configure your
WEP encryption, please click “Data encryption “ and enter a network key.
For 64-bit encryption, enter 10 digitals by Hex.
For 128-bit encryption, enter 26 digitals.
Click “OK” to save these settings.

3-1-2 Available Profiles:
In this field, you can click “Add” to add a available network into your available profiles. You
also can click “Remove” to delete this profile or click “Set Default” to set a default
associated network. Every time this card is active, it will automatically try to connect to this
default network.
3-2. Advance Configuration
The “Advance Config” Tab contains several fields where operating parameters of the
driver can be viewed or changed. See figure 3- 6.
Figure 3-6. Advance configuration
3-2-1 Ad Hoc default channel:
In this field, You can select a communication channel.
3-2-2 Power Save:
CAM (Constantly Awake Mode): CAM is the normal mode for desktop PC or other
machines where power consumption is not an issue. It keeps the radio powered up all the
time, so that there is little latency for responding to messages.
MAX (Max Power Savings Mode): If power consumption is a major concern for your
machine, you can select this to save power.
Fast (Power Save mode): Fast mode switches between Power Saving and CAM based
on network traffic. When receiving a large number of packets, this mode will temporarily
