Quick Start Guide

 

This guide describes basic installation of the AirConnect

 

®

 

 wireless PC Card, 

and is intended for users familiar with PC Card and driver installation for 
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows Millennium Edition 
(Windows Me). 

For more detailed installation procedures and for installation under 
Windows NT 4.0 and Windows CE, refer to the 

 

AirConnect Wireless PC Card 

User Guide. 

 

Refer to “Installing the Documentation” on page 4 of this quick start guide 
for information on setting up the online documentation.

This guide describes how to set up your wireless PC Card in infrastructure 
mode (networking using wireless clients and access points). Infrastructure 
mode requires that at least one access point be installed in your service area. 
You must set the Wireless LAN Service Area of your wireless client to that of 
the access point you will be using.

To use your wireless PC Card in ad hoc mode (networking between wireless 
clients only), no access point is required. Refer to the 

 

AirConnect Wireless PC 

Card User Guide

 

 for information.

 

Installing Under Windows 98, Windows 2000, and 
Windows Me

 

Before installing the driver, you will need a copy of the operating system 
installation media, usually a CD supplied with your computer or operating 
system.

On Windows 98 systems, the installation files are sometimes archived on the 
hard disk in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS. 

 

CAUTION

 

:

 

 

 

Installation under Windows 98 may result in a fatal error caused 

by the UHCD.SYS file in the Windows 98 operating system. To avoid this 
problem, you should update the UHCD.SYS file from v4.10.1998 to 
v4.10.2000. This update is available from the following Web site:

 

http://www.microsoft.com/windows98/downloads/contents/
WURecommended/systemupdata/Default.asp

 

The final Windows 98 installation screen may take 30-60 seconds to appear. 
Do not interrupt the installation if the PC appears to be taking too much 
time to complete the installation.

 

On Windows 2000 systems, you may be prompted to load operating system 
files from the Windows 2000 installation CD.

You will also need the 

 

Installation

 

 CD supplied with your AirConnect 

wireless PC Card. The Setup program installs configuration utilities in the 
Network application in the Control Panel.
