Before You Start 
To use the X-Micro WLAN 11b mini USB Adapter with a computing device, the 
X-Micro WLAN 11b mini USB Adapter must be equipped with an USB 1.1 or 2.0 
Interface. All drivers and supporting software for the X-Micro WLAN 11b mini 
USB Adapter must be loaded and configured. 
   
Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may 
need to provide during driver installation: 
•    Your Wireless Client Name 
•  Your Wireless SSID 
•    Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name 
•    For your network account, your user name and password 
•    Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if you’re not using a 
DHCP server. 
 
 
Every computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There 
are two methods of assigning network addresses to computer on a TCP/IP 
network: 
•  Static IP addressing 
•    Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP) 
 
In networks with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually 
assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, 
a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the 
network. You may manually change the IP address in the Network Properties 
dialog box
. Networks using static IP addresses are easy to set up and do not 
require additional network management software. 
 
In networks with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network 
dynamically assigns IP addresses to all clients every time they log on to the 
network. Network using dynamic IP addresses require setting up and running a 
DHCP Server or installing the Wingate software package.
