Step 4: Configure the Base Station

1.Continue following the instructions in the Setup Wizard to:

O Select wireless security options. For more information about wireless security, see “Making Your Network More Secure” in Chapter 5.

O Save your wireless network settings. You can use the provided floppy disk for this.

OSet up file and printer sharing on your computer.

Note If your computer is a member of a domain, the Setup Wizard detects this and skips the file and printer sharing part of setup.

2.When you reach the end of the Setup Wizard, click Finish. By default, the Broadband Network Utility starts automatically.

3.Remove the Setup CD from the CD drive and the floppy disk (if used) from the floppy disk drive. You will use the CD and floppy disk to set up your adapter.

Note If you want the computer that you used to set up the base station to make a wireless connection instead, remove the blue Ethernet cable between the base station and the computer, leaving the modem connected to the base station. Then continue following these steps to set up the adapter on this computer instead of on a second computer.
