1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing X-Micro WLAN 11b mini USB Adapter. You are
about to install a networking system that is not only fast and powerful, but
also easy to set up and simple to maintain. In a short time you and those in
your network will be able to share a local printer and files, access the
Internet, and roam about the office wire-free.
Using radio frequency (RF) technology, WLANs transmit and receive data
over the air, minimizing the need for wired connections. Thus, WLANs
combine data connectivity with user mobility, and, through simplified
configuration, enable movable LANs.
This wireless networking solution has been designed for both large and
small businesses, and it is scalable so that you can easily add more users
and new network features as your business grows.
This manual will assist you in the installing X-Micro WLAN 11b mini USB
Adapter.

2. Wireless LAN basics
Wireless LAN network defined by IEEE 802.11b standard committee could be
configured as:
•Ad Hoc wireless LAN, or
•Infrastructure wireless LAN.
Ad Hoc network is a group of notebooks with wireless LAN PC card called a
BSS (Basic Service Set). These notebooks use their wireless LAN PC cards to
communicate with each other, and notebooks cannot connect to the Internet.
Figure 2-1 Ad Hoc wireless network
The most obvious differentiation between Infrastructure wireless network and
Ad Hoc wireless network is that the notebooks in Infrastructure wireless
network can make use of the resource in the Internet through Access Point.

Figure 2-2 Infrastructure wireless network
To set up your notebook’s network as the type of “Ad Hoc” or “Infrastructure”
wireless network depends completely on your requirement. Generally, if your
network environment has an Access Point, we recommend that you set it as
“Infrastructure” to connect to the Internet.

3. Windows Installation
Before You Start
To use the X-Micro WLAN 11b mini USB Adapter with a computing device, the
X-Micro WLAN 11b mini USB Adapter must be equipped with an USB 1.1 or 2.0
Interface. All drivers and supporting software for the X-Micro WLAN 11b mini
USB Adapter must be loaded and configured.
Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may
need to provide during driver installation:
•Your Wireless Client Name
•Your Wireless SSID
•Your computer’s unique client name and workgroup name
•For your network account, your user name and password
•Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if you’re not using a
DHCP server.
Every computer on a network is identified by a unique network address. There
are two methods of assigning network addresses to computer on a TCP/IP
network:
•Static IP addressing
•Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP)
In networks with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually
assigns an IP address to each computer. Once a static IP address is assigned,
a computer uses the same IP address every time it reboots and logs on to the
network. You may manually change the IP address in the Network Properties
dialog box. Networks using static IP addresses are easy to set up and do not
require additional network management software.
In networks with dynamic IP addressing, a DHCP server in the network
dynamically assigns IP addresses to all clients every time they log on to the
network. Network using dynamic IP addresses require setting up and running a
DHCP Server or installing the Wingate software package.
