Windows NTor XP users should refer to the next section.This new procedure automatically installs the drivers and Configuration Utility beforeyou insert the Card into your PC, so there’s no searching for the location of drivers. Again, this step is taken before inserting the Card into your PC. 1.Before installing your card, insert the Setup Utility CD into your CD-ROM drive. Unless you have deactivated the auto-run feature of Windows, the screen shown in Figure 2-1 should appear automati- cally. If this screen does not appear automatically, you can access the installation by clicking the Start button and choosing Run. In the drop-down box pro- vided, type D:\setup.exe(where D: is the letter of your CD-ROM drive). Alternately, double-click My Computerand double-click the CD-ROM drive where the Setup Utility CD is located. Double-click the Setup.exeicon in the folder that appears. Before You Start Running the Auto Driver Installation Network PC Card Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless Network Awireless LAN is exactly like a regular LAN, except that each computer in the LAN uses an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 to connect to the network through a wireless connection. Computers in a wireless LAN must be configured to share the same radio channel. The Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 provides LAN access for wireless workstations. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 users and an Access Point compose a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each PCequipped with an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 in a BSS can talk to any computer in a wired LAN infrastructure via the Access Point. An infrastructure configuration extends the accessibility of an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0 PC to a wired LAN, and doubles the effective wireless transmission range for two PCs equipped with an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0. Since the Access Point is able to for- ward data within its BSS, the effective transmission range in an infrastructure LAN is doubled. Infrastructure mode also supports roaming capabilities for mobile users. More than one BSS can be configured as an Extended Service Set (ESS). This con- tinuous network allows users to roam freely within an ESS. All PCs, equipped with an Instant Wireless™ Network PC Card ver. 3.0, within one ESS must be configured with the same ESS ID. Before enabling an ESS with roaming capability, selecting a feasible radio channel and optimum Access Point position is recommended. Proper Access Point positioning combined with a clear radio signal will greatly enhance per- formance. Roaming Network Topology Figure 2-1 Instant Wireless TM Series

Click on the Yesbutton if you agree, or Noif you disagree. Clicking Nowill terminate the installation. If you click Yes, the installation will continue. 5.The screen in Figure 2-5 will appear next, requesting the folder into which the Configuration Utility will be installed. To install the Configuration Utility in the default directo- ry (recom- mended), click the Nextbut- ton. If you prefer to install the Utility in another direc- tory, click the Browse button, and locate the preferred directory. Then, click the Next button. 2. The first tab across the top of the screen, labeled Install, should now be high- lighted. Click the Installbutton. A screen similar to that shown in Figure 2-2 should appear, indicating that Windows is preparing the installation. If, for whatever reason, you need to abort or terminate the installation, press the Cancelbutton at any time during the installation. Otherwise the instal- lation will continue automatically. 3. The screen in Figure 2-3 will appear next, indicating that Windows is ready to continue the installation. Click the Nextbutton. Note:If you stop the installation before it has finished, you will have to run the installation completely again before installing your hardware. Network PC Card Figure 2-2 Figure 2-3 Figure 2-4 Figure 2-5 Instant Wireless TM Series Unlike wired networks, wireless networks have two different modes in which they may be set up: Infrastructureand Ad-Hoc. Choosing between these two modes depends on whether or not the wireless network needs to share data or peripherals with a wired network or not. If the computers on the wireless network need to be accessible by a wired net- work or need to share a peripheral, such as a printer, with the wired network computers, the wireless network should be set up in the Infrastructure mode. The basis of Infrastructure mode centers around an access point, which serves as the main point of communications in a wireless network (see Figure 2-7). Access points transmit data to PCs equipped with wireless network cards, which can roam within a certain radial range of the access point. Multiple access points can be arranged to work in succession to extend the roam- ing range, and can be set up to com- municate with your Ethernet hardware as well. If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only with the other computers on the wireless network, then the Ad-Hoc mode can be used (shown in Figure 2-8). Ad-Hoc mode allows computers equipped with wireless Network PC Cards to communicate directly with each other, eliminat- ing the need for an access point. The drawback of this mode is in the fact that, in Ad-Hoc mode, wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate with computers on a wired network. And, of course, communi- cation between the wireless-equipped computers is limited by the distance and interference directly between them. 87 Ad-Hoc versus Infrastructure Mode 6. When the screen shown in Figure 2-6 appears, choose either Infrastructure mode or Ad-Hocmode. If you are unsure whether to choose Infrastructure or Ad-Hoc, refer to the next section for more information. Once you have made your choice, click the Nextbutton. Network PC Card Figure 2-6 Figure 2-7 Figure 2-8 Instant Wireless TM Series 3.The screen shown in Figure 2-11 will appear, indicating that all of the appropriate files are being copied onto your drive. Click the Cancel button if you need to stop the installa- tion for any reason. 4. Once Windows has finished copying the necessary files, the screen shown in Figure 2-12 will appear. In order for the drivers to be installed properly, you must restart your computer. If you choose to do it now, select Yes, I want to restart my computer now. If you do not want to do it now, choose No, I will restart my computer later. Once you have made your choice, click the Finishbutton to continue. 10 1.If you have chosen Infrastructuremode, the following screen (Figure 2-9) will appear. If you have chosen Ad-Hocmode, skip to the next section, titled “Ad-Hoc Mode”. You will be prompted to enter an SSIDvalue in the box provided. The SSID may be up to 32 characters in length. This may include any character on the keyboard, keeping in mind that the SSID is case sensitive. All SSID values on your wireless network must match. If you are unsure, use the default value of “linksys.” Then, click the Nextbutton. 2. The Review Settings screen (Figure 2-10) will appear next. Verify that all the settings are correct and click the Nextbut- ton to continue. 9 Note:Restart the computer and go to Chapter 3: Installing the Network PCCardfor further instructions.
