1.0 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the Macsense AeroPad Mini, the 802.11g
Ethernet Adapter for Mac/PC. Welcome to the Macsense/Xsense Product
Family.
A fast growing trend today is wireless networking. By going wireless you reduce
the hassle of cable clutter, the expensive need to run cabling in the home or
office and the aggravation altogether to crawl under that desk for the last time to
see if that Ethernet cable is connected. The convenience of where and when you
want to connect to your network or Internet is now yours! Situate your computer
in the most convenient location without regards to whether there is an access
point or router nearby.
AeroPad Mini follows a WLAN standard called IEEE. The 802.11g standard has
emerged delivering speeds of up to 54Mbps and the ability to take the power of
the Internet with you. Imagine the ease and speed of which you can connect to
your wireless network and to the Internet.
The AeroPad Mini is a perfect solution for those older computers, such as the
iMac and iBook, without a wireless solution, the AeroPad Mini gives them the
wireless capability they deserve.
AeroPad Mini (WUA-800) is an improvement on its predecessor, the AeroPad
Plus (WUA-700).
AeroPad Mini is specifically designed for Small Office and Home Office needs. It
provides a complete SOHO solution for Internet surfing, and is easy to configure
