3e-531AP Wireless Access Point
Chapter 6: PC Card Installation on a Laptop
If you are setting up the 3e-531AP as part of a secure wireless LAN us-
ing AES or 3DES encryption options, you need to purchase and install an
IEEE 802.11b PC Card on each laptop that will be a client on the network.
The laptop must have a PCMCIA Card Type II or Type III slot. You will
need to install the 3e-010 Crypto Client Software (separately sold with the
3e-110 Wireless PC Card).
3e Technologies International's 3e-010F Crypto Client Software is
compatible with the 3e-110 Wireless PC Card and with other wireless
cards based on INTERSIL PRISM 2 and 2.5 chipsets. It will install in a
Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0 or Windows XP operating system envi-
ronment.
If you will be using the 3e-531AP with WEP encryption only, you can
use any compatible PC Card.
Follow the manuafacturer's instructions to complete installing the PC
Card.
Once the PC Card is installed, you must now configure the encryption
utility to allow the user access to the WLAN. Until the utility has been
configured to allow access to the 3e-531AP, you will not be able to access
the WLAN from the particular wireless device you are configuring.
If you are using the 3e-110 PC Card with secure 3e-010F AES or 3DES
encryption software, there are two types of roles on the secure system:
CryptoOfficer and Administrator. The following chart shows the different
permissions in respect to the Crypto Client Utility.
