Chapter 2 Installation Guide  
2.1 Hardware Installation  
1. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Adapter.  
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port on your computer. Because the  
Adapter gets its power from the host, there is no external power supply. The LED should light  
up when the Adapter is plugged in and the PC is on.  
Note:  
)
The Adapter can also be plugged into the USB port on your computer directly.  
2.2 Software Installation  
2.2.1 Overview

Windows 2000, XP and Vista.  
Before you install the software, please plug the adapter into your PC. After that, you will be  
prompted “Found New Hardware Wizard”, click the Cancel button, and run the Setup Wizard  
program on the CD-ROM.  
The Setup steps for Windows 2000, XP and Vista are very similar, so the following installation  
guide takes Windows XP for example.

Appendix A: Glossary  
802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input  
multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased  
data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity,  
perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium  
(EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a  
technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking  
(WLAN) products  
802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using  
direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio  
spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as  
Wi-Fi networks.  
802.11g - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence  
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed  
radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP  
encryption for security.  
Ad-hoc Network - An ad-hoc network is a group of computers, each with a wireless adapter,  
connected as an independent 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad-hoc wireless computers operate on a  
peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other without the use of an access point.  
Ad-hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer  
mode, and is useful at a departmental scale or SOHO operation.  
DSSS (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) - DSSS generates a redundant bit pattern for all data  
transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code). Even if one or more bits in the chip  
are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the receiver can recover  
the original data without the need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears  
as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most narrowband receivers. However,  
to an intended receiver (i.e. another wireless LAN endpoint), the DSSS signal is recognized as the  
only valid signal, and interference is inherently rejected (ignored).  
FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) - FHSS continuously changes (hops) the carrier  
frequency of a conventional carrier several times per second according to a pseudo-random set of  
channels. Because a fixed frequency is not used, and only the transmitter and receiver know the  
hop patterns, interception of FHSS is extremely difficult.  
Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or other devices,  
each with a wireless adapter, connected as an 802.11 wireless LAN. In infrastructure mode, the  
wireless devices communicate with each other and to a wired network by first going through an  
access point. An infrastructure wireless network connected to a wired network is referred to as a  
Basic Service Set (BSS). A set of two or more BSS in a single network is referred to as an  
Extended Service Set (ESS). Infrastructure mode is useful at a corporation scale, or when it is  
necessary to connect the wired and wireless networks.  
Spread Spectrum - Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique  
- 24 -

TL-WN827N Wireless N USB Adapter User Guide  
developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is  
designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other words,  
more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off  
produces a signal that is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the receiver  
knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to  
the right frequency, a spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two main  
alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread  
Spectrum (FHSS).  
SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key  
identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate  
with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the  
configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless  
Access Point and to the wireless network name.  
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit shared  
key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.  
Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless  
promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.  
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
