Information About Wireless Networks

This section includes general information about wireless

networks. If you are already familiar with wireless networks or

do not want to read reference information about them, skip this

section.

A (LAN) is a network in which you share files, printers, and

other services with users. In a Local Area Network (LAN), a

networked computer is called a client. In a wireless LAN

(WLAN), a client that has an Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B

LAN adapter installed is called a wireless client. A wireless

client communicates with the WLAN without cables. It sends

and receives information through a path in the air called a

channel.

A wireless client operates in either infrastructure mode or peer-

to-peer mode.

Infrastructure Mode

In infrastructure mode, a wireless client sends and receives

information through one or more access points. The Intel®

PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter operates with Intel®PRO/

Wireless 2011B LAN Access Points and IEEE 802.11b

compliant access points sold by other vendors.

Peer-to-Peer Mode

In peer-to-peer mode, also called Ad Hoc, wireless clients send

and receive information to other wireless clients directly

without using an access point. This type of WLAN typically

contains only wireless clients.

Identifying a WLAN

A Service Set Identifier (SSID) identifies a WLAN. There are

several kinds of SSIDs. For simplicity, this guide uses the term

Network Name (SSID) in place of other terms such as ESSID

and IBSSID. For either an infrastructure or peer-to-peer

WLAN, the SSID indicates what WLAN you are

communicating with. When installing a wireless adapter, the

software asks you to enter this information. All devices in a

WLAN must use the same Network Name (SSID).

Information About Wireless Networks

Security

In a WLAN, wireless clients send and receive information

through the air. Without implementing security, it is possible

for an unauthorized person to intercept the information.

A common way of implementing security and protecting

information is encryption. Before sending information over a

WLAN, the wireless device uses an encryption key to scramble

information before it is transmitted over a WLAN. The device

receiving the information uses the same key to decrypt or

unscramble the information. It is only readable to WLAN

devices that have the correct encryption key. You must use the

same key and encryption method for all wireless devices in the

WLAN. Otherwise, they cannot communicate with each other.

The network administrator provides encryption keys, either

directly or from an external key management service. The

administrator must propagate any changes to these keys to all

access points and wireless clients in a WLAN. Changing the

key on just one access point or wireless client, and without the

authority to do so, disconnects it from the rest of the network.

There are two Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption

methods: 40/64-bit and 128-bit. To implement security, use

either one of these methods.

Installation Steps

Installation Steps

Step 1: Read About the Installation

Installing an Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter is part

of the bigger process of installing a wireless LAN (WLAN).

The steps in this guide are for installing the adapter only.

If the Wireless Network Is Up and Running

It is likely that part of the wireless network is already installed.

If you are not sure, ask your network administrator.

If the wireless networks uses access points, these access points

are probably installed and it is your job to simply install the

adapter.

If you are setting up your computer to communicate with other

computers in a peer-to-peer network, the other computers are

set up and again it is your job to simply install the adapter.

In either case, continue with step 2 in this guide.

If It Is Your Job to Set Up the Entire Wireless Network

If the access point(s) are not installed yet and the wireless

network requires them, it is important to set up the access

point(s) first before installing adapters. Follow the installation

instructions shipped with the access point and then return to

step 2 in this guide.

If you are the first person to set up your computer in a peer-to-

peer wireless network, you establish the settings for the

wireless network when you set up your adapter. Continue with

step 2 in this guide, but be aware that other computers that join

the wireless network must use the same adapter settings.

The Steps Outlined

Step 2: Attach regulatory compliance labels.

Step 3: Install the hardware for the Intel®PRO/Wireless

2011B LAN Adapter. This adapter is most likely a PC card.

Step 4: Install the driver software.

Step 5: Install the Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Software.

Step 6: Configure the adapter.

Step 7: Make sure that the adapter is installed correctly.

Installation Steps

4 Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter Quick Installation Guide

For steps 2 through 7, read the subsection entitled “Before You

Start.”Failure to read this subsection could result in the

adapter not functioning in the network.

To install the Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter, you

must log onto a computer with an administrative account. If

you log onto the computer with an account that does not have

administrative privileges, the installation fails.

Step 2: Attach the Regulatory Compliance Label

A sheet of peel and stick regulatory compliance labels is

shipped with the adapter. Follow the directions on the sheet

and affix the appropriate label to the adapter.

Step 3: Install the Hardware

Before You Start

If the hardware is already installed, go to step 4.

Notebook Requirements

Installing the Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter in a

notebook computer requires the following minimum

configuration:

•233 MHz Pentium II

•64 MB RAM

•A CD-ROM drive

•A video card capable of 256 colors

•One of the following operating systems: Microsoft

Windows†95B, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows

ME or Windows 2000.

If you are unfamiliar with these terms, check with your

network administrator to make sure that your computer meets

these minimum requirements.

Installation Steps

Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter Quick Installation Guide 5

If the installation fails, the following information may be

useful to a network administrator. You do not have to be

familiar with these terms to continue with the installation.

However, if you encounter a problem during the installation,

present this information to your network administrator.

•A Type II PC card slot

•An available interrupt request line (IRQ)

•An available input/output (I/O) port address

If You Are Running Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98,

or Windows 2000

Installation and removal methods vary for different notebook

computers. Refer to your owner’s manual for specific

instructions.

1. Slide in the PC Card until it firmly seats. Align the card

properly when inserting. Insert the card firmly without

forcing. You may have to press very firmly.

2. Insert the PC Card in the notebook computer as shown

below.

Installation Steps

6 Intel®PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN Adapter Quick Installation Guide

3. When fully inserted the PC Card antenna and LED

protrudes as shown below.

4. If the power to the computer is off, turn the power on.

5. The computer automatically assigns resources to the

adapter and displays a wizard for the driver software.

If You Are Running Microsoft Windows CE

Make sure that the Windows CE device has the hardware

capability to accommodate a Type II PC Card. You do not

need to insert the card into the Windows CE device yet.

Obtain the following information from your network

administrator. You need this information to complete the

installation.

•Network Name (SSID)

•Encryption Mode Open / 40-bit / 128-bit

•Encryption Keys if Encryption Mode is 40-bit or 128-bit

•Encryption Key Number (1, 2, 3, or 4)

•DHCP (Yes / No)

•IP Address if the DHCP setting is No

•Subnet Mask

•Default Gateway Address

•Primary DNS Server Address

•Secondary DNS Server Address

•Primary WINS Server Address

•Secondary WINS Server Address
