Introduction
Overview
The ORiNOCO®802.11a/b/g/n USB Adapter is the next generation Wireless USB Adapter capable of supporting
802.11n draft 2.0 in 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. It provides high-speed (300 Mbps) wireless Internet access and
networking for a USB-enabled desktop anywhere, anytime. The USB Adapter is a Plug-and-Play device that connects to
and draws power from a computer’s USB port.
This ORiNOCO®802.11n Wireless USB Client Adapter is compatible with a USB 2.0 slot from any manufacturer. As a
Plug-and-Play device, Windows XP/Vista automatically detects the wireless USB Client Adapter and initiates the
installation process. Upon successful installation, the wireless USB Adapter communicates seamlessly with other IEEE
802.11n wireless products as well as legacy products. The ORiNOCO®11n USB Adapter can be used with other 802.11n
devices to form a stand-alone wireless Peer-to-Peer Group or used in conjunction with an Access Point infrastructure to
provide mobile clients with wireless access.
The IEEE 802.11 Specifications
In 1997, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) adopted the 802.11 standard for wireless devices
operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band. This standard includes provisions for three radio technologies: direct
sequence spread spectrum, frequency hopping spread spectrum, and infrared. Devices that comply with the 802.11a/g
standard operate at a data rate from 6Mbps to 54Mbps.
IEEE 802.11n draft 2.0 improves upon the previous 802.11 standards such as 802.11a and 802.11g, with a significant
increase in the maximum raw (PHY) data rate from 54 Mbit/s to a maximum of 600 Mbit/s. IEEE 802.11n builds on
previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and Channel-bonding/40 MHz operation to
the physical (PHY) layer, and frame aggregation to the MAC layer.
Product Features
The ORiNOCO®802.11a/b/g/n USB Adapter provides the following features:
• USB 2.0 interface
• Unlicensed 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands
• Supports 802.11n draft 2.0

Applications
This Wireless USB Adapter offers a fast, reliable, cost-effective solution for wireless client access to the network. Some
of its applications include:
• Remote access to corporate network information
• E-mail, file transfer and terminal emulation
• Difficult-to-wire environments
• Historic or older buildings without Ethernet wiring
• Buildings with asbestos insulation
• Open areas where wiring is difficult to employ
• Re-layout of frequently used environments
• Retailers, manufacturers or other organizations that frequently rearrange the workplace or relocate
• Temporary LANs for special projects or peak time usage
• Trade shows, exhibitions and construction sites that employ temporary networks
• Retailers, airline and shipping companies that need additional workstations for a peak period and auditors that require
workgroups at customer sites
• Access to database for mobile workers
• Medical, technical and retail specialists that require roaming access to a database or other network resources
• SOHO (Small Office and Home Office) users
• Users that need a small, easy-to-install network that deploys rapidly
System Requirements
You must have the following minimum requirements for using an ORiNOCO®802.11n USB Client Adapter:
1. A computer that meets the following specifications:
• Windows 2000/XP/Vista installed
• Equipped with a USB 2.0 port
• Service Pack 3 for Windows XP (recommended)
• At least 64 MB of free hard disk space
• At least 128 MB of RAM (recommended)
• A 300 MHz processor or higher
At least one IEEE 802.11 compliant Access Point
2. If your wireless network uses EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication, the system must contain a Certificate Authority (CA)
and user certificates for EAP-TLS authentication or CA certificate for PEAP authentication
3. If your wireless network uses PEAP (EAP-GTC) authentication with a One-Time Password (OTP) user database, you
need a hardware token device and your hardware or software token password
4. If PSK key authentication is used, you must know the key information
5. In case the USB port is not exposed outside, it is advised to use a USB cable to ensure higher signal strength.
6. The following information from your system administrator:
• The logical name for your workstation (also known as client name).
• The protocols necessary to bind to the client adapter, such as TCP/IP.
• The case-sensitive service set identifier (SSID) for your RF network.
• If your network setup does not include a DHCP server, the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway address
of your computer.
