Installing the Driver and Client Utility

Step 6 On the Power screen, read the screen information, click the Transmit Power up and down arrows, and select the desired client adapter transmit power level. To help minimize cell overlaps, you should strive to use the lowest power setting that supports full coverage of your wireless cell. Click Next to continue to the Security screen.

Step 7 Read the Security screen information on wireless network security options. If your wireless network uses these security options, click the Enable WEP or Enable LEAP check boxes.

Note For computer-to-access point configurations, you must check with your corporate or enterprise network administrator for the appropriate security settings. For computer-to-computer configurations, you must only determine if WEP is used by the other computers because WEP is not available.

a.If the configuration options are correct, click OK and go to Step 10.

c.Click Quit to exit the setup assistant and to manually configure your client adapter using the client utility.

a.If you previously selected the Enable WEP option, click the Hexadecimal or ASCII check box and enter your WEP key in the entry box. Click OK.

b.If you previously selected the Enable LEAP option, enter your LEAP username and password in the entry boxes. Click OK.

A screen drops down to indicate your client adapter is being configured and trying to associate to an access point. When the test process completes, one of four screens will appear:
