Chapter 1 Introduction

Getting to Know the Adapter

This section contains a quick description of the Adapter’s external features.

Front Panel

The Adapter’s front panel contains two lights (LEDs): Power and Wireless.

Power Light

The Power light glows green when the Adapter is powered on, and remains off

(or dark) when no power is present.

Wireless Light

The Wireless light glows solid green when the Adapter is connected to a wireless

network, and remains off (or dark) when not connected to a network. When the

Wireless light flickers, data traffic is moving across the wireless network.

Rear Panel

The Adapter’s rear panel contains three ports (Power, Antenna [unlabeled], and

Ethernet), as well as the Reset button.

types of antenna to the Adapter. The antenna included in the Adapter package

connects to the Antenna port.

Ethernet Port

The Ethernet Port is used to connect the Adapter to a computer or gaming con-

sole via the yellow Ethernet cable.

Understanding the

Wireless Network

Wireless local area networks (WLAN) perform the exact same functions as wired

local area networks (LAN). Each device in the WLAN uses a data radio device to

connect to the network, and all devices in the network share the same frequency

and method for identifying wireless devices. Wireless local area networks differ

from wired local area networks only in their operating mode. The two operation

modes are Ad Hoc and Infrastructure.

Ad Hoc Mode

Ad hoc mode is a networking framework by which wireless devices or stations

communicate directly with each other, without the need for an access point or

wireless router/gateway.

Ad hoc mode is also called peer-to-peer mode or independent basic service set

(IBSS). This mode is used when playing heat-to-head games, in which all the par-

ticipants are playing against each other in the same room, or at least within range

of the wireless network adapters.

Actiontec 54 Mbps Wireless Game Adapter User Manual

Infrastructure Mode

Infrastructure mode is a networking framework where devices communicate

with each other by first going through an access point or wireless router/gateway.

Infrastructure mode lets wireless devices communicate with each other or with a

wired network. With this type of network, and a router connected to the internet,

online games can be played, with participants in the same room and/or across the

internet.

Two types of service can exist while in infrastructure mode:

Basic Service Set (BSS) - An access point connected to a wired network and a

set of wireless stations.

Extended Service Set (ESS) - A set of two or more basic service sets forming a

single subnetwork.

Connecting the

Adapter

This chapter details the steps involved in connecting the Adapter to a game console

or computer, including installing the antenna and connecting the yellow Ethernet

cable and black Power cord.

☞ Note: The Adapter is designed with the utmost care for the

safety of those who install and use it. However, special attention

must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electric-

ity when working with electronic equipment. All guidelines of

this manual and of the computer manufacturer must be fol-

lowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the equipment.

Connecting the Adapter

To connect the Adapter to a network:

1. Get the Adapter from the package.
