To use the WLAN 11g USB Adapter with a computing device, the WLAN 11g USB
Adapter must be equipped with an USB 1.1 or 2.0 Interface. All drivers and supporting
software for the WLAN 11g USB Adapter must be installed and configured first.
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.
Any computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There are two
methods to assign a network address to a computer on a TCP/IP network :
Static IP addressing.
Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP).
In network with static IP addressing, the network ad11gstrator 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.
Network using static
IP address is easy to set up and do not require additional network management
software.
In network 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 address requires setting up and running a DHCP Server.
