This solution offers fast, reliable wireless connectivity with considerable cost savings over wired LANs (which include long-term maintenance overhead for cabling). Just plug wireless cards into your notebook PCs and start networking. Using this card in conjunction with a Wireless TM WA5001 802.11a Wireless Access Point, you can create an instant network that allows users on the wireless LAN to access resources on the wired LAN. Moreover, moving or expanding your network is as easy as moving or installing additional access points – no wires! Package Checklist The Wireless TM PC Card package includes: •1 Wireless TM 802.11a PC Card (AP-2000 PC Card) • 1 Driver and Utility CD-ROM • This User Guide Inform your dealer if there are any incorrect, missing, or damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the original packing materials. Use them again to repack the product if there is a need to return it for repair. System Requirements Before you install the Wireless PC Card, check your system for the following requirements: • A computer with a CardBus slot • Windows 98/Me/2000/XP (Have the Windows installation CD-ROM ready for use during installation) • A minimum of 30 Mbytes of free disk space for installing the driver and utility program Other IEEE 802.11a-compliant devices installed in your service area (such as the Wireless 802.11a Access Point). 2 Applications The Wireless products offer a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless client access to the network in applications such as: • Remote access to corporate network information E-mail, file transfer, and terminal emulation. •Difficult-to-wire environments Historical or old buildings, asbestos installations, and open areas where wiring is difficult to employ. • Frequently changing environments Retailers, manufacturers, and banks which frequently rearrange the workplace or change location. • Temporary LANs for special projects or peak times Trade shows, exhibitions, and construction sites which need temporary setup for a short time period. Retailers, airline and shipping companies which need additional workstations for a peak period. Auditors who require workgroups at customer sites. • Access to databases for mobile workers Doctors, nurses, retailers, or white-collar workers who need access to databases while being mobile in a hospital, retail store, or an office campus. • SOHO users SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users who need easy and quick installation of a small computer network. 3 Hardware Description The Wireless PC Card is fully compliant with 802.11a wireless networking as defined in IEEE 802.11a. It can be installed in any notebook with a CardBus slot. Support is provided for Windows 98/Me/2000/XP. Hardware Installation 1.Turn your computer on and boot to your operating system. 2.With the CardBus adapter 68-pin connector facing the CardBus slot and the label facing up, slide the card completely into the CardBus slot as shown below. Note: You may insert or remove the CardBus adapter at any time. It is not necessary to power off your computer to do so. 4 Driver Installation and Configuration The driver folder on the Driver/Utility CD-ROM contains the software drivers available for the Wireless TM 802.11a PC Card. Windows 98/Me/2000/XP Driver Installation You may find that these instructions do not exactly match your version of Windows. This is because these steps and screenshots were created from Windows 2000. Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition, and Windows XP are similar, but not identical, to Windows 2000. 1.Once the card is inserted, Windows 98/Me/2000/XP will automatically detect the new hardware and prompt you to install the driver. Click “Next.” Windows 98/Me/2000/XP Driver Installation 5 2.Insert the Driver/Utility CD-ROM and click “Next.” 3.Click “Next” to copy files from the CD-ROM. Driver Installation and Configuration 6 4.Click “Finish” to end the installation. To communicate with the Wireless 802.11a wireless devices, you may need to configure the CardBus Adapter.
