INTRODUCTION SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

1-2

System Requirements

The following are the minimum system requirements in order to

use the USB adapter.

 PC/AT compatible computer with a USB interface.

 Windows 2000/XP/Vista or MAC OS operating system.

 30 MB of free disk space for installing the USB adapter

driver and utility program.

Applications

EnGenius wireless LAN products are easy to install and easy to

use. The following list describes some of the many applications

made possible through the EnGenius wireless LAN products:

 Difficult-to-wire environments

 Temporary workgroups

 Accessing real-time information

 Frequently changing environments

 Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) networks

 Wireless extensions to Ethernet networks

 Wired LAN backup

 Training and Educational facilities

Network Configuration

To better understand how the wireless LAN products work

together to create a wireless network, it might be helpful to

depict some of the possible wireless LAN PC card network con-

figurations.

EnGenius wireless LAN products can be configured as:

 Ad-hoc (or peer-to-peer) for departmental or SOHO LANs.

 Infrastructure for enterprise LANs.

Ad-hoc (peer-to-peer) Mode

This is the simplest network configuration with several comput-

ers equipped with the PC Cards that form a wireless network

whenever they are within range of one another. In ad-hoc

mode, each client is peer-to-peer, would only have access to

the resources of the other client and does not require an access

point. This is the easiest and least expensive way for the SOHO

to set up a wireless network. The image below depicts a net-

work in ad-hoc mode.

Infrastructure Mode

The infrastructure mode requires the use of an Access Point

(AP). In this mode, all wireless communication between two

computers has to be via the AP. It doesn’t matter if the AP is

stand-alone or wired to an Ethernet network. If used in stand-

alone, the AP can extend the range of independent wireless

LANs by acting as a repeater, which effectively doubles the dis-

tance between wireless stations.

2.1.1 Before you Begin

During the installation, XP may need to copy systems files from its installation CD. Therefore, you may need a copy of the Windows

installation CD at hand before installing the drivers. On many systems, instead of a CD, the necessary installation files are archived

on the hard disk in C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\CABS directory.
