PTIONAL RADIO NETWORK CARD
If a slot with a radio network card and an externally attached antenna is installed in the
device, and if this card is supported by the corresponding drivers in the operating system,
this device may be integrated in an Ethernet network supporting 11 Mbit or 54 Mbit
(802.11b/g compatible) connections. Specifications of this network topology must be
observed in this case.
Devices from ads-tec including wireless LAN are equipped with a Mini-PCI WLAN card
including Atheros chips.
If a device is delivered including operating system by ads-tec, all required device drivers
will also be integrated in the system. Under the "Windows XP Professional" and "Windows
XP Embedded" operating systems, the original "Atheros Client Utility (ACU)" will also be
installed, which can be used for defining new WLAN networks and WLAN connection
settings. The mentioned utility offers a large variety of settings, which in most cases will be
sufficient for meeting individual network requirements. However, there is still an
opportunity lacking for making the following settings:
•
Setting the region (e.g. Germany, France, USA, etc.)
•
An ad-hoc channel setting, to be specified by region
Note:
Please refer to the service CD for a more detailed instruction on how to configure the
WLAN.
