Welcome to wireless networking. The RadioLAN PCI CardLINK

™

adapter allows you to connect a PC

with a 32-bit PCI slot to a RadioLAN wireless network. RadioLAN wireless networks allow network
stations to access shared network resources using a full 10Mbps connection, without typical
cabling requirements.

The RadioLAN PCI CardLINK comes with NDIS 4 and NDIS 5 drivers to support the following
Microsoft Operating Systems:

•

Windows 95

™

B or later

•

Windows NT

™

4.0 SP3 or later

•

Windows 98

™

•

Windows 2000

™

Installation procedures for each of the above operating systems are explained later.

The PCI CardLINK also comes with RadioNET

™

Manager, RadioLAN’s powerful network connection

application.

RadioNET Manager manages network stations, enabling them to function at an optimum level. You
can also track and test the quality of communications within a network. With RadioNET Manager
you can:

•

View detailed information for a specific station

•

View several stations at once

•

Modify station name

•

Modify station Subnet ID

•

Enable optional features, like encryption

•

Identify access type for each station

•

Test individual stations to determine success/failure rate of transmissions

•

Test the communication connection between stations

• This adapter requires PCI 2.2 BIOS support. Many of the latest PCI 2.1 BIOS PCs support PCI 2.2

functions. If the adapter is not working, you may need a BIOS update from your PC
Manufacturer.

• Do not try to use this adapter across a PCI to PCI Bridge. This is not supported and will not

work. Only use the PCI CardLINK in a primary bus PCI slot. Consult your PC’s documentation to
determine if any slots are across a bridge. Generally, if there are 4 PCI slots or less, then all are
primary slots.

• Do not remove the PCMCIA card from the PCI CardLINK adapter and try to use it in a laptop. This

configuration is not supported and voids the warranty.
