3 Configuration Utility

The Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you configure the HWU54DMA and monitor the link status and statistics of your wireless connection.

Each time you insert the Hawking Hi-Gain card the Hawking Wireless Utility should automatically load. In the case that it doesn’t you may manually load the Utility by using “FINDER” to view your “APPLICATIONS” folder and selecting the Hawking Wireless Utility Icon displayed on the left.

3.1Site Survey

When you open the Configuration Utility, the system will scan all wireless channels to find all access points/stations within the accessible range of your card and automatically connect to the wireless device with the highest signal strength. When using the “Site Survey” option, all nearby networks will be listed. You can change your connection to another network or you may add one of the networks to your own profile list.
