2 AirLancer MC-54
In this chapter you will find a description of the AirLancer MC-54 and a
step-by-step instruction for starting the card. After installation of hardware,
drivers and the
AirLancer software, you have to set up the access to a Wire-
less LAN. The description of this configuration step can be found for both Air-
Lancer s in chapter 5.
2.1 Properties
AirLancer MC-54ag is compliant to the IEEE 802.11a, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE
802.11b standards, and is thus excellent suitable for notebook users who
need a maximum of flexibility and performance. The switch between the
radio standards can be made as desired automatically, and enables at any
time the fastest possible connection. So for example the connection to a com-
pany network with up to 54 Mbps can be made with the IEEE 802.11g or IEEE
802.11a standard, while on journeys the compatibility to public hot spots is
ensured with up to 11 Mbps transfer rate according to IEEE 802.11b.
AirLancer MC-54g complies to the IEEE 802.11g standard with up to 54 Mbps
data transfer rate, as well as to the 11 Mbps IEEE 802.11b standard.
