Overview

What you can do with your Wireless LAN PC Card

You can build a wireless LAN using the Wireless LAN PC Card PCWA-
C150S (subsequently referred to as "Wireless LAN PC Card"). Equipping
multiple computers with a Wireless LAN PC Card and installing the
supplied software enables the computers to communicate and exchange
data without needing any physical connection.
There are two basic configuration modes for a wireless LAN. In
"Infrastructure Mode", communication is routed through a separately
available 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN Access Point (subsequently referred to as
"Access Point"). In "Peer-to-Peer Mode", no Access Point is used and the
computers communicate directly with each other. When an Access Point
with an Internet connection is used, the computers in the wireless LAN can
gain access to the Internet.
Note
This product is a 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN PC Card conforming to the IEEE
802.11b standard. It is not compatible with products conforming to other
standards (such as the IEEE 802.11a standard for 5 GHz wireless LANs).
z Tips
- For details regarding functions and operation of the Access Point, please refer to its
documentation.
- For information about file and printer sharing in a network environment, see Windows
Help.
