Wireless-B Notebook Adapter

Chapter 3: Getting to Know the

Wireless-B Notebook Adapter

The Adapter has two LEDs to let you know how the card is functioning. Here

are a description of those LEDs:

Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the PC Card is pow-

ered on.

Link Green. The Link LED lights up and stays solid when the

Adapter is inserted correctly and a link is established with

the notebook. The LED flashes when data is transmitted or

received..

The Adapter’s LEDs

Instant Wireless

Series

If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only

with the other computers on the wireless network, then the ad-hoc mode can

be used. (See Figure 2-2.) Ad-hoc mode allows computers equipped with wire-

less transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other, elimi-

nating the need for an access point. The drawback of this mode is that, in Ad-

Hoc mode, wireless-equipped computers are not able to communicate with

computers on a wired network. And, of course, communication between the

wireless-equipped computers is limited by the distance and interference direct-

ly between them.
