Available Wireless Networks
This screen provides two options for setting up the
Adapter.
SecureEasySetup This Adapter features SecureEasySetup.
This means that you can set it up with just the press of
a button when connecting to wireless routers or access
points that also feature SecureEasySetup. Both points
on the network must feature SecureEasySetup for this to
work.
Available Wireless Networks (For most users.) Use this
option if you already have a network set up. The networks
available to this Adapter are listed on this screen. You
can choose one of these networks and click Connect
to connect to it. Click Refresh to update the Available
Wireless Networks list.
Manual Setup If your network is not listed on this screen,
select Manual Setup to set up the adapter manually.
This method of setting up the Adapter is intended for
Advanced Users only.
The setup for each option is described, step by step, under
the appropriate heading on the following pages.
Click Exit to close the Setup Wizard and set up the Adapter
later.
SecureEasySetup
While using the Monitor, you might see the
SecureEasySetup button on the right-hand side of the
screen. This button can be used to set up the Adapter, if
this has not already been done. With SecureEasySetup,
setting up the Adapter is as simple as pushing a couple
of buttons. Before you press any buttons, though, you
should locate the SecureEasySetup button on the device
you’re connecting the Adapter to, such as a wireless router
or access point.
