About Your ZyAIR 

The ZyAIR is an IEEE 802.11b compliant wireless LAN PC card that fits into any 
type II PCMCIA slot. Its maximum 11 Mbps data rate, which gives Ethernet 
equivalent speed, is ideal in the corporate or home environment. Users enjoy the 
wireless mobility within the coverage area. What’s more, the ZyAIR supports IEEE 
802.1x authentication methods for enhanced security that protects the network from 
intruders. 

Ad-Hoc Application  

An ad-hoc network consists of two or more computers communicating with one 
another through the wireless network. No access points (APs) or existing wired 
networks are needed.   

Infrastructure Application  

When wireless clients wish to access and share resources on the wired network, they 
should use infrastructure mode. Wireless clients may move or roam from one 
coverage area to another seamlessly without network interruption.
