Introduction

PENTAGRAM horNET is a high-performance, easy-to-install PCI or USB 32 bit wireless network adapter. The adapter can be used in ad-hoc mode to establish peer-to-peer connections with other adapters for file sharing, or in infrastructure mode to provide Internet access on home or office networks using an access point or a router.

PENTAGRAM horNET PCI/USB supports 802.11g connectivity with a maximum data rate of 54 Mbps (or up to 108 Mbps when connecting to other Super G-compliant devices). With a rich feature set, it can also interoperate with 802.11b (11 Mbps) products in home or office environments, and with public hotspots. Additionally, support for eXtended Range enables increased coverage for networks based on this technology. Regardless of the mode, your data remains secure due to robust WPA encryption.

This manual contains information required to install and configure the adapter, and use your network for Internet access. Step-by-step instructions will guide you through the steps required to operate the device.

Troubleshooting

This section describes methods which can be used to solve problems which may appear during the installation and operation of the PCI/USB wireless network adapter. Please read the description below for troubleshooting.

1. The PCI/USB adapter does not operate correctly.

- Replace the adapter in the computer's PCI slot or USB port.

- Right-click the My Computer icon and select Properties. Select Device Manager and locate the network adapter. Verify whether the adapter is installed correctly in the system. A yellow exclamation mark means that a resource conflict has occurred. Check the adapter's status. If you notice a yellow exclamation mark, do the following:

- Make sure that your computer has an available IRQ (Interrupt Request) number.

- Make sure you have installed the right adapter and driver. If the adapter does not work properly despite completing the above steps, remove it and proceed as follows:

- Uninstall the adapter's driver from the computer.

- Restart the computer, and then reinstall the hardware and software as described in this manual.

2. No communications with other computers over Ethernet in infrastructure mode.

- Make sure that the computer with which the adapter is associated is switched on. - Make sure that the card is configured to operate on the same channel and with the same security options as other computers using infrastructure made.

3. The computer with the adapter cannot connect to a wireless network and/or the Internet.

- Check whether LEDs on the broadband modem indicate normal operation. If not, a problem with the modem may have occurred.

- Check whether LEDs on the router indicate normal operation. If not, make sure the router is connected to ports and that Ethernet ports are properly attached.

- Verify whether the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS settings are configured correctly for the network.

- When using the infrastructure mode, check whether the network ID (SSID) is identical for clients and access points

- In ad-hoc mode, both computers must have the same SSID. Please note that it may be necessary for one of the clients to establish a BSS (Basic Service Set). Wait for the settings to be synchronized between all clients. This will allow you to avoid multiple BSSs being set by different computers at the same time, which may cause several independent BSSs to exist instead of a single BSS containing multiple clients.

- Check whether the wireless network connection is configured correctly.

- If data encryption is enabled, make sure appropriate keys are provided in both the adapter's and the access point's configurations.
