PACKAGE CONTENTS
Package contents depend on your W7x model. Please refer to the installation manual of your
product.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The minimum system requirements for the W7x are:
PC-compatible computer with an Ethernet interface
Operating system that supports an HTTP Web browser
NETWORK CONFIGURATION
To help you understand how the W7x works with other LAN products to create a wireless network, we will
describe several possible wireless network configurations.
The wireless LAN products can be configured as:
An ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) network for departmental or a small office/home office (SOHO) network
Infrastructure for enterprise LANs
AD-HOC (PEER-TO-PEER MODE)
This is the simplest network configuration with several computers equipped with PC Cards that form a
wireless network whenever they are within range of one another. In ad-hoc mode, each client is peer-to-peer and
only has access to the resources of the other client and does not require an access point. This is the easiest and
least expensive way for the SOHO to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts a network in ad-hoc
mode.
