Opening the Wireless Network Monitor Utility

After you have installed the Card and the Utility, you will see an icon in the lower right corner of your screen (near the clock). This is called the system tray. The icon will be green when your Card is connected to a network and it will be red when there is no connection to a wireless network. After installation, the Card will connect to your wireless network automatically. Double-clicking on the system tray icon will open the Utility. Also, the installation software placed a shortcut icon on your desktop. Double-clicking this shortcut will open the Utility.
