Page 5: Chapter 1 Introduction
The WL-3560 is an IEEE 802.11g Wireless PCMCIA card that can operate in either Ad-Hoc mode (Point to Point/Point to Multipoint without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (Point to Point/Point to Multipoint with an Access Point). With almost 5 times the data rate of tradi- tional 802.11b products, it is suitable for multimedia applications which require greater band-... -

BSS must be configured with a BSS ID cor- responding to the WL-3560 used in the BSS. Check your WL-3560 for its BSS ID or use the Site Survey function on Configuration Utility program to determine the BSS ID. - Page 7 Ad-Hoc wireless LAN configurations are appropriate for branch level departments or SOHO operations. 1.2.3 General Application WL-3560 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.

IEEE 802.11b). At the receiver, the Preamble and header are processed to aid in de- modulation and delivery of the PSDU. The Short Preamble and header may be used to minimize overhead and, thus, maximize the network data throughput. However, the Short Preamble is supported only from the IEEE 802.11b (High-Rate) standard and not from the original IEEE 802.11. -

This section provides some technology Q&A. Read the description below to know more about the wireless network. ü What is the difference between 54Mbps and 11Mbps wireless products? What’s the benefit of 54Mbps Wireless Access Point? The 54Mbps is made possible by the new modulation method called OFDM, which is different from the current CCK modulation method for 11Mbps. - Page 19 changed or dynamically assigned by the network, the MAC address of a networking device is permanent. ü What is WEP? Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a type of data encryption mechanism described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. ü Could I implement the driver/utility installations on another operating system, e.g. Windows 98SE, 2000 and ME? Are there any differences of driver/utility installa- tions among these different operating systems? Yes, you can.
