Draft IEEE 802.11n Interoperability

Dell Wireless 1500, 1505 and 1510 cards are 802.11n Draft 2.0 certified. At the time of product release, these cards were validated through testing to work with the following 802.11n wireless routers/APs:

·                      Netgear WNR834B FW 1.0.1.4 and later

·                      Netgear WNR350N FW1.0 and later

·                      Linksys WRT300N FW 0.93.3 and later

·                      Buffalo WZR-G300N FW 1.43 and later

·                      BelkinF5D8231-4

NOTE:

•  Regardless of the make of wireless router/AP, wireless clients should always be able to connect to the wireless router/AP at legacy link speeds. You should check with the wireless router/AP vendor for AP firmware and client software updates.

Setting Advanced Properties

Wake-Up Mode

The Wake-Up Mode property enables or disables the capability of the Dell wireless WLAN card to wake up the computer from a low-power state when the wireless WLAN card receives a network wake-up packet.

All. Loss of Link, Magic Pattern, and Net Pattern are considered in wake pattern matching.

LossOfLink. Wakes up the machine if the wireless STA loses its association with the AP in Wake mode. Loss of link is detected by three events:

* The wireless STA receives a deauth/disassoc frame from the AP.

* The wireless STA stops receiving a beacon from the AP for a pre-specified interval (8 seconds).

                          * The wireless STA receives a retrograde timing synchronization function (TSF) in the AP beacon.

Magic & WakeUp Frame (default). Both Magic Pattern and Net Pattern are considered in wake pattern matching.

Magic Frame & LossOfLink. Both Magic Pattern and Loss of Link are considered in wake pattern matching.

Magic Packet. Only Magic Pattern is considered in wake pattern matching.

None. Pattern Matching is disabled.

Wake Up Frame. Only Net Pattern is considered in wake pattern matching.

Wake Up Frame & LossOfLink. Both Net Pattern and Loss of Link are considered in wake pattern matching.

InstallShield Documentation

InstallShield has a number of command line options. None of the options listed below is case sensitive, and each may be used with a hyphen (-) or a forward slash (/). Separate multiple command-line switches with a space, but do not put a space inside a command-line switch (for example, /r /f1Install.iss is valid, but /r/f1 Install.iss is not). When you use long path and file name expressions with switches, enclose the expressions in double quotation marks. The double quotation marks indicate to the operating system that spaces within the quotation marks are not to be treated as command-line delimiters. Command line switches not listed will be ignored by the installer. 

   -on

Turns Windows Wireless Zero Configuration Service off and configures the Broadcom tray utility to manage the network.

   /wlconfig:[file to import]

      Imports preferred network profiles at the end of installation.

      This option does not support the hyphen (-) prefix.

   -l[language ID]

Specifies the language in which the setup runs. [language ID] is a numeric language ID of the form 0xnnnn or simply nnnn.

Note: Refer to http://helpnet.installshield.com/robo/projects/HelpLibDevStudio9/IHelpGlobLangIdentifiers.htm for supported language IDs. See the “Identifier (InstallScript)” column in the following table.

InstallShield supported languages are listed in the following table.

The setup runs in this language regardless of the default setup language specified in the IDE or the default language of the target system.

This switch has no effect when the setup is running silently and a

Lang key is set in the [Application] section of Setup.iss.  Recording a response file (by running Setup.exe with the -r switch) sets the Lang key automatically; for the -l switch to affect a silent setup, this key must be deleted from the Setup.iss file.

   -pnsnap

   /pnsnap

An install using this switch forces the utility to make a connection based on the order of preferred network list after the user has logged on in a non-single sign-on case.

By default, this option is turned off, and a preferred network low in the list could be connected before the user logs on.

   -r

Causes Setup.exe automatically to generate a silent setup file (.iss file), which is a record of the setup input, in the Windows folder.

   -s

      Runs InstallShield Silent to execute a silent setup.

   -f1[path\ResponseFile]

Specifies an alternate location and name of the response file (.iss file). If this option is used when running InstallShield Silent(-s option), the response file is read from the folder/file specified by [path\ResponseFile]. If this option is used along with the -r option, the response file is written to the folder/file specified by[path\ResponseFile].

   -f2[path\LogFile]

Specifies an alternate location and name of the log file created by InstallShield Silent. By default, the Setup.log file is created and stored in the same directory as that of the Setup.inx file.

   -verbose

      Provides more detailed information when a Setup.exe error occurs.

   -sso:

will disable the checking for 3rd party GINAs that override the default system GINA (MSGINA).

   -UseAdvNetwork

When user click on Add button, the default will be launching advanced dialog.
