Chapter 1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing WL-8305 PCI Wireless LAN Adaptor. This wireless adapter for PCI

standard version 2.2 compliant desktop PCs, is fully compatible with IEEE 802.11b standard

and supporting higher data rate up to 22Mbps. It can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Point to

Point/Point to Multipoint without Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (Point to Point/Point to

Multipoint with Access Point). It operates in 2.4GHz unlicensed ISM band in the home or office

environment.

WL-8305 provided with a detachable dipole antenna and is connected to PC’s PCI slot. Thus,

it is capable of being placed practically anywhere on or around your computer to get better

signal quality and longer connection distance.

The WL-8305 is compatible with Windows 98, Me, 2000 and XP. It supports 64/128-bit and

256-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption for securing wireless network connection.

It’s data rate support 22, 11, 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps. The 22Mbps data rate is designed by the

Packet Binary Convolutional Code (PBCC) modulation technique. With its auto-fallback

function, the data rate can be move to lower speed if signal quality is not good enough.

1.2 Applications

1.2.1 Infrastructure

The WL-8305 provides access to a wired LAN for wireless workstations. An integrated

wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of WL-8305 PC

users and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each WL-8305 PC in a

BSS can talk to any computer in the wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point.

An Infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of a WL-8305 equipped PC to a

wired LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for 2 WL-8305 PCs.

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. All WL-8305 equipped PCs configured

without roaming options in an independent BSS must be configured with a BSS ID

corresponding to the WL-8305 used in the BSS. Check your WL-8305 for its BSS ID or

use the Site Survey function on Configuration 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.

Infrastructure mode 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 WL-8305 PCs or other IEEE 802.11b

compliant wireless adapters within one ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID

and use the same radio channel.

Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, choosing a feasible radio channel and

optimum Access Point position is recommended. Proper Access Point positioning

combined with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance performance.

1.2.2 Ad-Hoc

An Ad-Hoc wireless LAN is a group of computers, each equipped with one WL-8305

adapter or other wireless adapters, 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.

1.2.3 General Application

WL-8305 offers a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless client access to the

network in applications like these:

1. Remote access to corporate network information

E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation.

2. Difficult-to-wire environments

Historical or old buildings, asbestos installations, and open area where wiring is

difficult to employ.

3. Frequently changing environments

Retailers, manufacturers and banks who frequently rearrange the workplace and

change location.

4. Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time

Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites need temporary setup for a short

time period. Retailers, airline and shipping companies need additional workstations

for a peak period. Auditors require workgroups at customer sites.

5. SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users

SOHO users need easy and quick installation of a small computer network.

6. High security connection

The wireless security network installs quickly and provides the flexibility to

reconfigure easily.

1.6 SAFETY PRECAUTION

Only use the accessories attached with the device package. Otherwise, the device may not

function. If you miss or damage the accessories, please contact your local dealer.

1.7 Installation Considerations

 Please keep the number of walls and ceilings between the Access Point and clients.

Each wall or ceiling can reduce your wireless cover range form 3-90 feet. Position your

Access points, Residential Gateways, and computers so that the number of walls or

ceilings is minimized.

 Building materials make a difference – A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a

negative effect on range. Try to position Access Points, and computers with wireless

adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other

materials.

 Keep the wireless product away form electrical devices or appliances at least 3-6 feets,

which may generate extreme RF noise.
