The SWLSDI-1100 is a compact size wireless card for the PDA's and other mobile
computing devices that support SD cards. The card supports various wireless LAN
security protocols. It supports open, 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryptions. Its Power
saving features to maximize battery life makes it one of the best cards.
The only requirements are PDA/Pocket PC/Mobile Computing device with an SDIO slot
running SDIO Now! and it can be used to access the Internet, email, and corporate
servers.
You can access enterprise and public Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b) Wireless LAN systems from
your Pocket PC/PDA/Mobile Computing device using the smallest and lightest form
factor available. SWLSDI-1100 SDIO Low Power Wireless LAN Card is an industry
leading SDIO card with state of the art technology that lets you wirelessly connect to
Wi-Fi networks to access the Internet, email, and corporate servers.

• PDA with WinCE 4.2, Windows® Mobile 2003/2003 (Second Edition) with at least
32 MB memory
• Secure Digital (SDIO) slot (Assuming SDIO host controller and driver are already
installed)
• Microsoft® Active Sync® should be installed
• An IEEE802.11b or Wi-Fi approved Access Point/Base station
The SDIO WLAN Card is a wireless network card that complies with the IEEE 802.11b
standard on wireless LANs (Revision B).
Wireless stations can be equipped with the SDIO WLAN Card, but also with other WLAN
PC Cards. Both the SDIO WLAN Card and the WLAN PC Card share the same wireless
functionality.
Home Networking
With SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card, wireless access to the Internet or other devices is at
your fingertips. All you need to do is connect the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card to an
existing access point that may be connected to the external Cable or xDSL modems and
you are ready to:
Enterprise Networking
The SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card CD-ROM contains both software and documentation for
the WLAN Card
1. Connect your PDA to your computer and make sure Active-Sync® has
established for a connection between the two devices.
2. Insert the CD-ROM to your PC, The main Screen will appear, choose Install
driver.
3. Choose the appropriate drivers for installation i.e. Generic drivers if you have PDA
other then Toshiba e400, or specific Toshiba driver if you have Toshiba e400 PDA.
Note: Do not insert the SDIO WLAN Card into the card slot of your PDA until the
Driver (Step 1) and Utility (Step 2) installations have been performed
Tx Rate The current transmit rate. This can be 1 Mbps, 2 Mbps and 5.5 Mbps.
Rescan Searches for all available networks. Clicking on the button, the
device will start to rescan and list all available sites.
WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) shows the current WEP used in the
AP. WEP can be enabled or disabled.

6.1 Introduction
This chapter provides typical problems with their own specific troubleshooting tips.
If you encounter difficulty using and/or installing your SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card product,
the error may be related to various causes :
- Out-of range situation, which prevents the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card from
establishing a wireless connection with the network.
- Configuration mismatch, which prevents the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card from
establishing a wireless connection with the (correct) network.
- Absence of, or conflict of the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card Driver .
- A problem or conflict with the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card socket from powering
on.
- A conflict of the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card hardware with another device.
The starting point to troubleshoot problems with your SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card is
looking at the LED activity of the SDIO WLAN Card.
LED Activity
• The power LED will be blank when the SDIO WLAN Card is properly inserted but
not transmitting/receiving data.
• The Act LED will be blinking Green when transmitting/receiving wireless data.
If your SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card seems to be working fine, but you are not able to
connect to the network, this error might be due to a configuration mismatch.
For example if LED of your SDIO WLAN Card lights, the problem is likely to be caused by
a configuration mismatch of :
- No driver loaded.
- Station not authorized to access network.
- SDIO WLAN Card defect.
The most common cause is simple mistake. First check whether the card is inserted
properly or not. Check whether any AP’s are available or not. If you see many AP’s, select
any of one those AP’s and click connect. If you don't see any AP’s click Rescan Button. If
you still don’t see AP list after rescanning, it is possible that no active AP is nearby. You
may be in the dead zone. Move around or change the PDA orientations. It may help.
Check the available access point in the neighborhood by clicking the Site Survey tab in
the utility. If the access point requires WEP key, input the same WEP key then try to
connect again. If you do not know the WEP key, contact the system administrator to
obtain the appropriate key.
For identifying the specific AP, check the wireless networks available in the neighborhood.
If the AP shows ESSID, use the same ESSID to connect the AP. ESSID is assigned to the
specific AP for that purpose.
Some devices with non-powerful CPU may suffer their performance significantly. If the
system is very slow, check
SWLSDI-1100 WLAN Card Does Not Operate After Returning From the
Stand-by or Sleeping Mode
This may happen when the driver is not functioning. Reinstall the SWLSDI-1100 WLAN
Card driver again.
