About Wireless Communication
The LI-8100A is a Wi-Fi-enabled device that allows for wireless communication
between other Wi-Fi-enabled devices, such as many handhelds. Wi-Fi (short for
"wireless fidelity") is the term for a high-frequency wireless local area network
(WLAN), such as an 802.11b network. The 802.11b (Wi-Fi) technology operates in
the 2.4 GHz range, offering data speeds up to 11 megabits per second. The
LI-8100A requires the 802.11b standard for wireless communication.
This section details how to use your handheld device to communicate with the
LI-8100A, using wireless (Wi-Fi) communication.
Wireless Network Cards for the LI-8100A
The LI-8100A uses a fixed wireless networking Type II PC card. The currently
supported card (Model #AIR-PCM352, Cisco Systems) is an 11 Mbits/s wireless
networking card (802.11b) that features an extended form factor, low power
consumption, and built-in antenna.
The wireless PC card fits into either of the two PC card slots in the LI-8100A
Analyzer Pack (see Section 2, Initial Setup).
