exposure limits:
When this device is installed either as a fixed-mount or mobile application there
is a minimum required separation distance of 20 cm from users.
Non-Amplified Systems:
For non-amplified systems simply plug the antenna connector into the antenna port on
the PC card and proceed to PC Card and Software Installation on the next page.
Amplified Systems:
Amplifier connections are clearly labeled on the amplifier unit as shown below.
1. Connect the antenna to the amplifier output labeled “ANTENNA”.
2. Connect the PC Card to the Amplifier input labeled “RADIO” using the pigtail cable.
3. Plug the AC adapter into the amplifier’s DC power jack and wall outlet.
Proceed to PC Card and Software Installation on the next page.

PC Card and Software Installation
I. Network Configuration
XI-325 is an IEEE802.11b-compliant PCMCIA Type II DSSS wireless LAN PC card.
It fully supports wireless networking under Windows 95/98/2000/XP and NT 4.0.
 XI-325 can be operated in Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure network configurations. Ad-Hoc mode
allows XI-325 users to join an Basic Service Set (i.e., peer-to-peer mode, without access point).
Infrastructure mode allows XI-325 users to join a Extended Basic Service Set (i.e., connect to
access point)
II. Package Content
XI-325 11Mb PC Card CD-ROM Utility Disk
Amplifier Kit (Optional) Antenna
III. XI-325 and Utility Installation under Windows
1. Insert the XI-325 card into the PCMCIA slot, then start Windows. Windows will auto-detect
new hardware and Windows Wizard will display “New Hardware Found".
2. Click on ‘Next’, then insert the corresponding driver and utility CD-ROM into the CD-ROM
drive, or the driver and utility disk into the floppy drive. Click on ‘Next’.
3. Once [Insert Win 95/98/2000/XP CD-Rom into the appropriate drive, then click ‘OK’] window
appears, please follow by either inserting the Windows CD-Rom or finding the Windows
source path within the appropriate drives, then click ‘OK’.
4. Click ‘Finish’ to complete the installation . Restart Windows.
5. To install the XI-325 Utility, insert the XI-325 driver and utility disk once again, then
execute A: setup.exe.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete utility installation, then afterward double-click on
Infrastructure Network

Access Point

the Utility icon. Utility interface will then appear and configuration can be accomplished here.
IV. Using Utility to Set Up Ad-Hoc Network
If wireless LAN has already been set up, simply plug in XI-325. Otherwise, set up a wireless
network by taking the following steps:
1. On the main utility interface, click on [Diagnostic tools], then click on [Site Survey].
This would disable wireless network links temporarily and display channel quality.
Please note that the blue bars indicate the best quality channels.
Note that amplified kits are shipped factory set to channel 6 and can not be changed.
2. Back on the main utility interface, click on [Network Configuration] and “Configure the
Adapter” window will appear. Setup procedures are as follows:
1) ESSID denotes the assigned name for the designated wireless LAN. If ESSID differs,
then wireless connection between wireless end devices will not be accomplished.
Please note that selecting [Use Non-Specified ESSID: ANY] will possibly be connected
to other wireless LAN. Therefore, ESSID setup is highly recommended.
Example: Specify ESSID as : TEST001.
Notice: Once the ESSID is set on the initial XI-325, and while the rest of the ESSID
remains as default value ANY, then the initial XI-325 with the ESSID must be started
first.
2) Select [Ad-Hoc] under ‘Network Type’, select the Channel in step 1 for [Ad-Hoc
Default Channel] (Note: Only channel 6 is selectable for amplified systems).
(Notice: Under Ad-Hoc, it would require a single uniform channel to enable a wireless
networking group).
3) Use WEP ** (will be available soon). The default is ‘ Disable’. If you require high
security in transmission, please select the “Enable” item and select [Encryption].
When you enter encryption configuration, you can type keyword and press [Generate]
to create 4 new encryption keys and select one of them to scramble your transmission
data.
Notice: When your use WEP to communicate with the other wireless clients, all the
wireless devices in this network must have the same encryption key and keyword.
4) Upon completing steps 1~3, click on [Modify] to save altered values.
V. Using Utility to Connect to Access Points
1. On the main Utility interface, click on [Diagnostic Tools], then click on [Access Point
Browser]. This would disable wireless connection temporarily and the subsequent display

3
would show status for all available access points. By using this tool, it is possible to find
out ESSID for the connected wireless group.On the main Utility interface, click on [Network
Configuration] and configuration screen will appear. Setup procedures are as follows:
1) ESSID denotes the assigned name for the designated wireless LAN. If ESSID differs,
then wireless connection between wireless end devices will not be accomplished.
Please note that selecting [Use Non-Specified ESSID: ANY] will possibly be connected
to other wireless LAN with different ESSID. Therefore, ESSID setup is highly
recommended.
Example : Specify ESSID as : TEST001.
Notice: If the ESSID of PC card remains as default value ANY, then the PC card is
possible to be connected to all available Access Points.
2) Select [Infrastructure] under ‘Network Type’
3) Use WEP ** (will be available soon). The default is ‘ Disable’. If you require high
security in transmission, please select the “Enable” item and select [Encryption]. When you
enter encryption configuration. You can type keyword and press [Generate] to create 4 new
encryption keys and select one of them to scramble your transmission data.
Notice: When your use WEP to communicate with the other wireless clients, all the wireless
devices in this network must have the same Encryption Key and keyword. )
4) Upon completing steps 1~3, click on [Modify] to save altered values.
 Infrastructure network configuration provides roaming to mobile users. Multiple (at
least 2) AP connection allows LANEscape users to access seamless wireless connection
while moving freely within the coverage area. To enable Extended Service Sets (ESS),
all LANEscape wireless end devices (XI-325, AP, etc.) will have to be under same
ESSID.
