1- 5 Applications

The SL-2011 PLUS LAN products are easy to install and highly efficient.

The following list describes some of the many applications made

possible through the power and flexibility of wireless LANs:

1. Difficult-to-wire environments

There are many situations where wires can not or can not easily be laid.

Historic buildings, older buildings, open areas and across busy streets make

the installation of LANs either impossible or very expensive.

2. Temporary workgroups

Consider situations in parks, athletic arenas, exhibitions, disaster-recovery,

temporary office and construction sites where one wants a temporary WLAN

established and removed.

3. The ability to access real-time information

Doctors/nurses, point-of-sale employees, and warehouse workers can

access real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers

and processing information.

4. Frequently changed environments

Show rooms, meeting rooms, retail stores, and manufacturing sites where

the workplace is frequently rearranged.

5. Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

SOHO users need a cost-effective, easy and quick installation of a small

network.

6. Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

Network managers in dynamic environments can minimize the overhead

caused by moves, extensions to networks, and other changes with wireless

LANs.

7. Wired LAN backup

Network managers implement wireless LANs to provide backup for

mission-critical applications running on wired networks.

8. Training/Educational Facilities

Training sites at corporations and students at universities use wireless

connectivity to ease access to information, information exchanges, and

learning.

1- 6 Network Configurations

To better understand how the SL-2011 PLUS wireless LAN products

work together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to depict a

few of the possible SL-2011 PLUS network configurations. The SL-2011

PLUS wireless LAN products can be configured as:

1. Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.

2. Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.

3. IP Sharing for 56K/ISDN TA/Cable/DSL Modem – Connect Internet and your

SOHO network.

Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode

This is the simplest network configuration that several computers

equipped with the PC cards that form a wireless network whenever they

are within range of one another (Figure 1-3). In ad-hoc mode, each

client, is peer-to-peer, would only have access to the resources of the

other client and requires no the access point. This is the easiest and

least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network.

Figure 1-3 A wireless Ad-hoc network

Infrastructure Mode

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an access point (AP). In this

mode, all wireless communications between two computers have to be

via the AP no matter the AP is wired to Ethernet network or stand-alone.

If used in stand-alone, the AP can extend the range of independent

wireless LANs by acting a repeater, which effectively doubling the

distance between wireless stations as shown in Figure 1-4.

Infrastructure

If wired to an Ethernet network as shown in Figure 1-5, the AP serves

as a bridge and provides the link between the server and the wireless

clients. The wireless clients can move freely throughout the coverage

area of the AP while remaining connected to the server. Since the AP is

connected to the wired network, each client would have access to

server resources as well as to other clients.

Figure 1-5 Single AP bridge

Access points have a finite range, on the order of 50 meters indoor and

100 meters outdoors. In a very large facility such as an enterprise, a

warehouse, or on a college campus, it will probably be necessary to

install more than one access point to cover an entire building or campus,

as shown in Figure 1-6. In this scenario, access points hand the client

off from one to another in a way that is invisible to the client, ensuring

unbroken connectivity. Wireless clients can roam seamlessly between

different coverage areas and remain connected to the network

Wireless Router and IP Sharing

In infrastructure mode, in addition to acting as a bridge between an

Ethernet and wireless network, the AP can be configured as a wireless

router and IP sharing device for Internet access as shown in Figure 1-7.

You don’t have to buy an expensive router. Nor you have to buy several

modems and setup phone lines. Just share one AP, one Modem, single

dial-up account, and one phone line, dozens of network users can go

surfing the Internet concurrently.

Chapter 2 Installing Drivers & Client Utility

This chapter describes how to install the PC Card drivers and client

utility under Windows 95/98/ME/2000 and Windows NT4.0 environment.

2-1 Installation for Windows 95/98/ME/2000

During the installation, Windows 95/98/ME/2000 may need to copy

Windows systems files from the Windows 95/98/ME/2000 installation

diskette or CD-ROM. Therefore you will need a copy of the Windows

95/98/ME/2000 installation diskette or CD-ROM on hand before

installing the driver. On many systems, instead of a CD, the necessary

installation files are archived on the hard disk in C:\WINDOWS

\OPTIONS\CABS directory.

Installation Procedure:

1. Turn on your computer.

2. Be sure that there is no PCMCIA adapter inserted yet.

3. Insert the SL-2011 PLUS Wireless LAN Installation CD into your CD-ROM

drive. The setup program should start automatically as shown in Figure 2-1.

If it does not start, you can run it manually by selecting RUN from the Start

menu and running SETUP.EXE from CD-ROM drive.

Figure 2-1

SL-2011 PLUS

4. From SENAO Wireless LAN Installer, select Install SL-2011 PLUS PC Card.

Follow the instructions as they appear.

5. Enter the System ID (or SSID) of the Wireless LAN (default Network ID is

IEEE802.11) as shown in Figure 2-2. The SSID is the name of the Wireless

LAN ServiceArea of the wireless network to which your computer will

connect. The name you enter here must match exactly the name assigned to

the Access Point. Characters, capitalization, and spacing must be identical.

Figure 2-2

6. Select the Network Mode in which your wireless client will operate as shown

in Figure 2-3. If you are unfamiliar with Network Mode, refer to Chapter 1-6

Network Configurations for details. Follow the instructions as they appear.

7. Restart your computer.

8. Insert the PC Card into the PCMCIA slot of your computer.

9. Make sure that the network protocol parameters are set correctly for your

computer. These include the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS. If

you are unfamiliar with how to set network protocol parameters, refer to

Chapter 3 Connection to Network for details.

10. Restart your computer for changes to take effect
