Adaptec Ultra Wireless USB Adapter User’s Guide
Getting Started
This User’s Guide provides detailed instructions for installing and
configuring your Adaptec AWN-8030 Ultra Wireless USB Adapter.
See the Installation Task List on page 3 for an overview of the
installation process.
This Guide also includes a basic overview of wireless and Local
Area Network (LAN) technology (see page 42) suitable for novice
users. It assumes you have a working knowledge of your computer
and are familiar with the Windows Operating System.
Note: Your Wireless USB Adapter is only one element of your
Wireless LAN (WLAN). Installing this product alone will not
create a wireless network. See About Wireless Technology and
LANs on page 42 for information on the minimum
requirements for creating a WLAN.
