Welcome to the world of wireless computer networks.
This document is a short reference guide that will show
you how you can:

• Use WLAN Cardbus adapters to connect the mobile
 computers to a wireless network.

• Use mobile computers to roam between different
locations without losing the wireless connection.

• Use the wireless network to share files and printers
with other computer users.

In a Local Area Network (LAN), you can connect two or more computers to each
other. You can use a network to share files or common equipment such as a
printer or a modem. In a wired network, you need special cables and networking
equipment to connect the computers, but in a wireless network, computers
communicate via radio technology that can pass through walls and ceilings.

Users connect the wireless computers by assigning a shared Network Name
value to each Wireless Client Adapter that belongs to your network.

To secure your WLAN Cardbus adapter supports Data Encryption when you
transmit data, we recommend that you always enable this feature to protect your
network against unauthorized access to your files and communications.

The WLAN Cardbus adapter support different network modes such as Peer-to-
Peer Group, Act as Base Station, and Base Station Network that allow users to
connect to an existing network or start the network.

For instructions to install your WLAN Cardbus adapter, please consult the
documentation that is included with the hardware.
