Introduction
Augmenting the first ever 54Mbps transmission on the 2.4GHz
bandwidth, Gemtek is presenting to the WLAN community
another high-speed option that is backward compatible to the
well accepted 802.11b WLAN technology.
In order to supplement the compatibility between 802.11b and
802.1g, Complementary Code Keying (CCK) is implemented to
achieve the common bit transfer rate of 5Mbps. While
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is adopted
by 802.11g for the high-speed transfer rate in a 2.4GHz range.
Gemtek’s WL-611GS fully utilizes the benefits of 802.11g
standard on the proven compatibility between two transfer
modes and the high speed bit transfer that is desirable for
multimedia application in Wireless environment.
Features
The WL-611GS has the following features:
Wireless security using WPA with TKIP encryption, 802.1X
with EAP-type Authentication
32 bit Cardbus Interface
Backward Compatible in a 802.11b environment
Plug & Play Installation
Seamless roaming from cell to cell and between 802.11b to
802.11g
A Look at the Hardware
Gemtek WL-611GS 802.11g Wireless LAN PC Card has two
Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), or link lights. The following table
defines the behavior for the LED:
