Chapter I: Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the 802.11g Wireless LAN PCI Card. This card complies with IEEE 802.11g
standard, which supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can also work with
IEEE 802.11b devices. When the card connects to 11b devices, the link speed will be up to 11Mbps.
This card enables higher data throughput than the IEEE 802.11g standard (up to 54Mbps). It supports
specific ways to increase the data transfer rate at a time; compress the data and decrease the waiting
time to send the next data to the Routers or APs. This feature is called Turbo Mode. When the card is
connecting to the Routers or APs with the proprietary Turbo Mode feature, the wireless network will be
more effective.
For WLAN security issues, this card supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your
wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature that
combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are
required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is
encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. Furthermore, this card supports WPA2
function, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.
When you use the devices such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones, televisions, VCRs and
MP3 players, how can you speed up the audio, video and voice data to pass through the wireless
network? IEEE 802.11e Quality of Service (QoS) (The Wi-Fi Alliance defined WMM as a profile of the
IEEE 802.11e) extensions for 802.11 networks will help to define the priorities of the data traffics by the
data categories to provide enhanced multimedia support. This card supports the advanced technology
for sure.
The power consumption of the card is also very low. This card provides several levels of power saving
modes allowing user customizes the way of saving the power from his/her portable or handheld
devices.
This card is cost-effective, together with the versatile features; it is the best solution for you to build your
wireless network.

3.2.1.1 Configuration
Parameter Description
Profile Name Define a recognizable profile name for you to identify the different
networks.
SSID The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name
identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two
co-located WLANs.
You may specify a SSID for the card and then only the device with the
same SSID can interconnect to the card. If you want to add the network
nearby to the profile list, pull down the menu, all the networks will be
listed for you to add one of them to the profile list.
Parameter Description
PSM (Power Saving Mode) The power saving function is only available when the network type is in
Infrastructure.
CAM (Constantly Awake Mode) – The card will always set in active
mode.
PSM (Power Saving Mode) – Enable the card in the power saving
mode when it is idle.
Network Type Infrastructure – This operation mode requires the presence of an
802.11 Access Point. All communication is done via the Access Point or
Router.
Ad-Hoc – Select this mode if you want to connect to another wireless
stations in the Wireless LAN network without through an Access Point
or Router.
TX Power If you want to lower the transmit power of the card for saving the power
of the system, you can select the lower percentages from the list. The
lower power will cause the lower signal strength and the coverage
range.
Ad Hoc Wireless Mode When the card is set in Ad Hoc (Peer to Peer Mode), you can designate
the wireless connection mode for the Ad Hoc network.
802.11 B only – This card can be compatible with both 802.11g and
802.11b wireless stations. If there are only 802.11b wireless stations in
the network, you can set the card to this mode.
802.11 B/G mix – If you have a mix of 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
stations in your network, it is recommended to setting the card to this
mode. This mode is also the default setting.
802.11 G only – This card can be compatible with both 802.11g and
802.11b wireless stations. If there are only 802.11g wireless stations in
the network, you can set the card to this mode.
Preamble The preamble defines the length of the CRC block for communication

among wireless devices. This option is only active in the Ad Hoc
network.
There are two modes including Auto and Long Preamble. If
“Auto“ mode is selected, the card will auto switch the preamble mode
depending on the wireless devices the card is connecting to.
Parameter Description
RTS Threshold Minimum packet size required for an RTS (Request To Send). For
packets smaller than this threshold, an RTS is not sent and the packet
is transmitted directly to the wireless network. Select a setting within a
range of 0 to 2347 bytes. Minor change is recommended.
Fragment Threshold The value defines the maximum size of packets; any packet size larger
than the value will be fragmented. If you have decreased this value and
experience high packet error rates, you can increase it again, but it will
likely decrease overall network performance. Select a setting within a
range of 256 to 2346 bytes. Minor change is recommended.
Channel This setting is only available for Ad Hoc mode. Select the number of the
radio channel used for the networking. The channel setting should be
the same with the network you are connecting to.
