Chapter 1: Introduction
Connect your notebook computer to a wireless network with the Network
Everywhere Wireless Notebook Adapter. The included Setup Wizard will walk
you through configuring the adapter and your network's settings, step by step.
Then just slide it into your notebook's PC Card slot and enjoy network access
with your notebook computer, while retaining true mobility.
Once you're connected, you can keep in touch with your e-mail, access the
Internet, and share files and other resources such as printers and network stor-
age with other computers on the network, wherever you wander. At home, you
can surf the web or use instant messaging to chat with friends while sitting out
on the patio. You'll also be able to connect with any of the growing number of
public wireless "hotspots" springing up in coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels
and convention centers.
The Network Everywhere Wireless Notebook Adapter is fully compliant with
the 802.11b wireless network standard, transferring data at up to 11Mbps in the
2.4GHz radio band. If distance or interference starts to degrade the signal, the
Adapter automatically drops down to slower speeds, to keep you connected if
at all possible. Wireless communications are protected by up to 128-bit encryp-
tion, so your data stays secure.
