Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters Installation and Configuration Guide for MS-DOS
The Cisco Aironet Wireless LAN Client Adapters, also referred to as adapters, are radio modules that provide transparent, wireless, data communications between fixed, portable, or mobile devices and other wireless devices or a wired network infrastructure. The adapters are fully compatible when used in devices supporting Plug-and-Play (PnP) technology. Host devices can be any device equipped with a PC Card Type II or Type III slot. These devices include:
• Desktop systems
• Portable laptops
• Notebook computers
• Personal digital assistants
• Pen based computers
• Other data collection devices
The primary function of the adapters is to transfer data packets transparently through the wireless infrastructure. The adapters operate similarly to a standard network product except that the cable is replaced with a radio connection. No special wireless networking functions are required, and all existing applications that operate over a network can operate using the adapters. The PC Card can also be built into peripheral devices such as printers to provide them with a transparent wireless connection to a wired network.
