To use the WLAN 11n USB Client Adapter with a computing device, the WLAN
Adapter must be equipped with a proper Interface. All drivers and supporting
software for the WLAN Adapter must be installed and congured rst.
Ask your system administrator for the following information, which you may need to
provide during driver installation:
• Your Wireless Client Name: Your personal computer’s unique client name and
workgroup name. For your network account, your user name and password.
• Your Wireless SSID: Your IP address, gateway address, and subnet mask if
you’re not using a DHCP client.
Any personal computer on a network is identied by a unique network address.
There are two methods to assign a network address to a personal computer on a
TCP/IP network :
• Static IP addressing.
• Dynamic IP addressing (DHCP Client).
In network with static IP addressing, the network administrator manually assigns
an IP address to each personal computer. Once a static IP address is assigned, a
personal 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. Network using static IP address is easy to set up and do not require
additional network management software.
In network 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 address requires setting up and running a DHCP Server.
