Chapter1. Product Overview 1-1. Introduction to The Client Adapter: This module is made up of the IEEE 802.11b MAC, Baseband, and radio components, PCMCIA interface, two internal antenna. It uses direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology and implements DBPSK, DQPSK, and CCK modulation. This provides a very robust radio channel and excellent receiver sensitivity.
1-4. LED Display Indicator 1-4-1. Purpose The LED display indicator is the function that provides the users to review the received RF signal strength of NIC. It is convenient for users to adjust the location of NIC and then gain better receive signal strength refer to LED sight. 1-4-2.

Card with the same SSID and the same channel to join. WEP security rejection: This will occur if you join an wireless network with incorrect WEP key. The other items in the table are details about the link state and will only be available when the wireless LAN card is associated with an Access Points or other wireless LAN card.
3-2. Status: The Status tab will show you the detailed status of the wireless net card. State This field is used to display the current state of the Wireless LAN Card. When the state is “Associated “ means normal flow of operation in Infrastructure mode. The PC is connected to access point.
These two fields display the instantaneous wireless Receive and Transmit throughput displayed in bytes per second. These values are updated every two seconds. Link Quality The Link Quality bar graph is only active when the node is in Infrastructure Mode. The bar graphically displays the quality of the link between the node and its Access Point.
Profile: You can save various wireless settings for different environment. The system allows you to have 5 different configurations. Network Name: It is also known as SSID and is the unique name shared among all points in the wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the network. It is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters Network Type: This field allows you to select from a list of supported Network “Modes”.
