1 Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PLANET WL-8315. This card complies with IEEE 802.11g standard,
which supports up to 54Mbps high-speed wireless network connections. It can also work with IEEE
802.11b devices. When the card connects to 11b devices, the link speed will be up to 11Mbps.
This WL-8315 supports specific ways to increase the data transfer rate at a time; compress the data
and decrease the waiting time to send the next data to the Routers or APs. This feature is called Turbo
Mode. When the card is connecting to the Routers or APs with the proprietary Turbo Mode feature, the
wireless network will be more effective.
For WLAN security issues, this card supports 64/128-bit WEP data encryption that protects your
wireless network from eavesdropping. It also supports WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) feature that
combines IEEE 802.1x and TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) technologies. Client users are
required to authorize before accessing to APs or AP Routers, and the data transmitted in the network is
encrypted/decrypted by a dynamically changed secret key. Furthermore, this card supports WPA2
function, WPA2 provides a stronger encryption mechanism through AES (Advanced Encryption
Standard), which is a requirement for some corporate and government users.
The power consumption of the card is also very low. This card provides several levels of power saving
modes allowing user customizes the way of saving the power from his/her portable or handheld
devices.
