Configuration of the WLAN Device

The optional WLAN device can be configured to estab-

lish wireless network connectivity using the Windows

Vista software or - for Windows XP systems - the

Atheros Client Utility software. The Atheros Client

Utility software allows for multiple profile setups and

supports automatic profile switching. Support for most

industry standard security solutions, as well as Cisco

Compatible Extensions (CCX), is contained in this soft-

ware.

There are two procedures outlines below. The first one is

for use with the Windows Vista operating system, and

the other is used with the Windows XP operating

system.

CONFIGURING THE WLAN

WITH WINDOWS VISTA

The WLAN device can be configured to establish wire-

less network connectivity using the software that is built

into Windows Vista. Support for most industry standard

security solutions is contained in this software.

Pre-defined parameters will be required for this proce-

dure. Please consult with your network administrator

for these parameters:

1. Click the Start button, then select Control Panel.

Classic View from the left panel. Double-click the

Network and Sharing Center icon.

3. Select “Manage wireless networks” from the left

panel.

4. Click on the [Add] button.

5. Depending upon what type of connection you

would like to make, make a selection. For an infra-

structure network, select “Manually create a net-

work profile. For ad hoc network, select “Create an

ad hoc network”.

6. Enter the required information. It may be necessary

to consult with your network administrator for

some of the information.

7. In the event you require assistance, go to the Net-

work and Sharing Center window (Start -> Control

Panel -> Network and Sharing Center), and type in

relevant keywords in the Search box.

CONNECTING TO A NETWORK
