Installing Under Windows 95

 

Installation under Windows 95 is identical to the procedure given above 
for Windows 98 and Windows 2000. Only Windows 95 version B (OSR 2) or 
higher is supported. If you do not know how to determine which version 
of Windows 95 you are running, refer to the Windows 95 section of the 

 

AirConnect Wireless PCI Card User Guide.

 

Orienting the Antenna

 

The wireless PCI card has a built-in antenna. 

For best use of the antenna:

 

 

Keep the area around the antenna clear from materials that could block 
radio transmission, such as metal objects, electronic devices, and cordless 
telephones.

 

 

If necessary, move your desktop computer a few inches to find a better 
signal. Depending on your environment, a difference of one or two 
inches can mean the difference between a strong and a weak signal.

 

 

If you have installed the WLAN Applications, use the Signal Strength 
display in the AirConnect Status application to determine the best 
location and orientation for a network connection. For details, refer 
to the 

 

AirConnect Wireless PCI Card User Guide

 

.
