Step 1: Insert the Driver, Utility and Documentation CD.

Step 2: Click [Start], click [Run] and type [?:\Utility\setup.exe] (Note: The ? equals the letter of your CD-ROM drive. In most cases, this is D.)

Step 3: The installation wizard will begin.

Step 6: Please set the selection to [Yes] and click [Finish] to reboot the machine. Then once the OS is back up and running, you should see a new icon in your system tray that launches the wireless card utility

Continue to the Utility Configuration section for documentation on how to use the utility application for your adapter.

Utility Configuration

When the utility program is running, there will be a quick launch icon in the lower right-hand corner of the task bar. The icon will be GREEN if you have a good connection to a wireless network. If it is white, you will need to verify the network settings and check to be sure that the AP is turned on. You may also need to reposition the AP and possibly place it in a higher position so that you are able to gain more wireless signal strength.

Double-click the quick launch icon in the system tray to bring up the Configuration Utility. This provides quick access to management statistics and adapter settings.

The Configuration Utility includes the following tabs:

Link Info: Allows you to view/monitor network status and throughput.

Configuration: Allows you to make changes to the wireless card settings such as the Preamble, BSS Type (Mode), and SSID.

Site Survey: Displays all the Access Points within range of the wireless adapter's signal. Encryption: Provides Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security control. About: Shows the version information.

Link Info

When the Configuration Utility is initialized, the Link Info window will be immediately shown. This will show you the connection status of the wireless adapter. If you are connected to the network in Infrastructure mode, you should see the oscillating bars next to Signal Strength and Link Quality. The Status field will show that it is "Associated" as well.

Settings cannot be changed on this tab. This tab gives you the data you need to determine which wireless network you are connected to and your connection speed. It also shows the SSID and Channel of that network, and it gives you throughput and link quality statistics.

Configuration

To change the settings, simply enter the new desired values and click the [Apply] button. Note that when configured in Infrastructure mode, you cannot change the Channel. The wireless adapter will automatically sync to the same channel that the Access Point is using. The SSID should be configured to the same value as that of the Access Point.

BSS Type: Set the station operation mode to "Adhoc" for network configurations that do not include an Access Point (i.e. - Peer-to-Peer networks). Set the operation mode to "Infrastructure" for configura-tions that utilize an AP for wireless connectivity to an Ethernet LAN. ("Infrastructure" is the default setting.)

Channel: If you are setting up an Adhoc wireless LAN, set the channel number to the same value on all wireless clients. However, if you are connecting to a network via an AP, then the channel will be automatically set to the channel of the AP.

SSID: Input an SSID for the wireless network to which you want to connect. If you will be roaming among multiple Access Points with different BSSID's, set the SSID to "ANY" to allow connection to any access point.

Tx Rate: Indicates the data transmission rate. To optimize performance and range, it is best to set this value at Auto. Lower speeds will usually allow you to gain more range. When set to Auto, the adapter will auto-sense the speed and provide the highest through-put that your environment allows.

Preamble: It is highly recommended that you leave this value at default.

Power Mode: The choices are "Continuous Access Mode", "Maximum Power Save", and "Fast Power Save". The Power Mode is set to Continuous Access Mode by default. When enabled on a laptop, the power saving mode can reduce power consumption by the wireless PC card and extend the battery life of your laptop.

Encryption

For more secure data transmissions, set encryption to "256 bits", "128 bits" or "64 bits". The 256-bit setting gives the highest level of security. The setting must be the same for all clients in your wireless network. By default, the WEP is disabled. For HEX

"Key Format", the security is enabled by entering 10-digit keys for the 64-bit WEP configuration, 26-digit keys for a 128-bit WEP configuration or 58-digit keys for a 256-bit WEP configuration. For ASCII "Key Format", the security is enabled by entering 5-letter keys for 64-bit WEP, 13-letter keys for 128-bit WEP or 29-letter keys for 256-bit WEP.

Site Survey

The Site Survey tab scans and displays all Access Points in the wire-less LAN. To choose a network, simply highlight it and click the [Connect] button on the right. The Site Survey shows the MAC address of the wireless network, the SSID, the encryption status, and the channel the network is using. If the "AP" option shows NO, then this means that there is no Access Point on that network - or in other words, it is an Adhoc network. If the "AP" option shows YES, then there is an Access Point on that particular wireless network.

When you press [Connect], you will be able to verify the settings and enter the required WEP keys, if any. If the network does not require WEP, the encryption portion will be grayed out. You can also set up different Profiles by changing the "Profile Name". By default, the "Profile Name" is the same as the SSID.

Troubleshooting

Common Installation Problems

Problems are often caused by conflicts with other devices installed in the same computer, or software that has been configured incorrectly. If you encounter a problem with the EZ Connect TURBO 11/22 Mbps Auto-Sensing Wireless Adapters, use the following checklists to identify and correct the problem.

• If your computer cannot find the EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card, or the network driver does not install correctly, check the following items before contacting SMC Technical Support

• Make sure the card is securely seated in the PCMCIA or PCI slot. Check for any hardware problems, such as physical damage to the card.

• Try the card in another PCMCIA or PCI slot. If this fails, test the card in a completely different system or try using a second EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card in that particular slot.
• Check for resource conflicts
• Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS available. Contact the manufacturer of the laptop, motherboard for information on updating the BIOS (e.g. - Dell, Toshiba, etc)
• If there are other network cards in the computer, they may be causing conflicts. Remove all other cards from the computer and test the EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card separately.

Network Connection Problems

There may be a network connection problem if the LED on the card does not light, or if you cannot access any network resources from the computer. Check the following items before contacting SMC Technical Support.

• Make sure the correct network card driver is installed for your operating system. If necessary, try uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. To do this, first shut down your machine and remove your SMC adapter. Then boot up and open up your Start Menu, go to Programs, click the "SMC EZ Connect TURBO WLAN Adapter" program folder and choose "Uninstall". Reboot the machine when requested to do so. Then insert your Driver CD and run the Setup.exe utility again. Then shut down the computer, reinsert your SMC adapter and boot up the machine. The OS should properly reinstall the adapter during this time.
• Make sure the computer and other network devices are receiving power. If you suspect a power outlet to be faulty, plug another device into it to verify that it is working.
• If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer on the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure mode, try changing the wireless channel on the AP. Make sure the SSID is the same as that used by the AP for a station with roaming disabled, or the same as that used by the AP's in the extended service set (ESS).
• The Access Point you are trying to attach to is defective or may not be configured properly to accept your signal. Check with the administrator of your wireless network for more information on connecting to the LAN. Also run the necessary diagnostics on the AP to make sure the unit is fully operational.
• If you cannot access the Internet, be sure to check with the ISP for further instructions once the drivers for the EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card are installed properly.
