1. INTRODUCTION
Wireless LAN is local area networking without wires, which uses radio frequencies to
transmit and receive data between PC’s or other network devices. Wireless LAN is able to
configure independent networks and infrastructure networks. The former is suitable for
small or temporary peer-to-peer configurations, and the later is offering fully distributed
data connectivity via micro cells and roaming.

The WLAN CF module is designed to meet the mobility, performance, security,
interoperability, management, and reliability requirements of IEEE 802.11b high data rate
standard. It is easy to install the WLAN CF module on various devices with CF Type I
card slot or PCMCIA TYPE II card slot using PCMCIA to Compact Flash adapter. It is
able to communicate with other IEEE 802.11b compatible products to create a wireless
LAN in your office or home.
