Quick Start Guide
This guide describes basic installation of the AirConnect wireless PCI
network interface card, and is intended for users familiar with PCI card and
driver installation under Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and
Windows Millenium Edition (Windows Me).
For more detailed installation procedures and for installation under
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows CE, refer to the
AirConnect Wireless PCI
Card User Guide.
Refer to “Installing the Documentation” on page 4 of this quick start guide
for information on setting up the online documentation.
This guide describes setting up your wireless PCI Card for infrastructure
mode (networking using wireless clients and access points). Infrastructure
mode requires that at least one access point be installed in your service area.
You must set the Wireless LAN Service Area of your wireless client to that of
the access point you will be using.
To use your wireless PCI card in ad hoc mode (networking between wireless
clients only), no access point is required. Refer to the
AirConnect Wireless
PCI Card User Guide
for information about setting up the wireless PCI card
for ad hoc mode.
Installing Under Windows 98, Windows 2000, and
Windows Me
Before installing the driver, you will need a copy of the operating system
installation media, usually a CD supplied with your computer or operating
system.
On Windows 98 systems, the installation files are sometimes archived on the
hard disk in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS.
NOTE
: The final Windows 98 installation screen may take 30-60 seconds to
appear. Do not interrupt the installation if the PC appears to be taking too
much time to complete the installation.
On Windows 2000 systems, you may be prompted to load operating system
files from the Windows 2000 installation CD.
You will also need the
End User Utilities
CD supplied with your AirConnect
wireless PCI card. The setup program installs configuration utilities in the
Network application in the Control Panel.
To install the wireless PCI card:
1
Turn off power to your desktop computer and unplug the power cord.
2
Remove the cover of your computer.
3
Locate an empty PCI slot and remove its slot cover. Save the screw.
