CB11B2 (MS-6829) - Wireless 11b
CardBus Card
CB11B2 (MS-6829) Wireless 11b CardBus Card,
compliant with IEEE802.11b, is a high-efficiency wireless
adapter for wireless networking at home, in office or in
public places. The data rate can be up to 11Mbps, and
auto-negotiated to 5.5/2/1Mbps to be compatible with any
IEEE802.1b devices.
With CB11B2 (MS-6829), you can roam between confer-
ence room and office without being disconnected the
LAN cables; in addition, sharing files and printers can be
easy tasks.
The CB11B2 (MS-6829) is available to Microsoft Windows
operating systems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and
can be integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc
mode (computer-to-computer, without an Access Point) or
Infrastructure mode (computer-to-access point, an
Access Point is required).

Introduction

How CB11B2 (MS-6829) Works
Ad-hoc Mode : An Ad-hoc network is a local area network
or other small network, especially one with wireless or
temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the
network devices are part of the network only for the
duration of a communications session. Users in the
network can share files, print to a shared printer, and
access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind of
network, new devices can be quickly added; however,
users can only communicate with other wireless LAN
computers that are in this wireless LAN workgroup, and
are within range.

Infrastructure Mode : The difference between Infrastruc-
ture network and Ad-hoc network is that the former one
includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure network,
the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize
bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point
enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing
wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage
of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email,
file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of
the Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than
that of the Ad-hoc networking.
