Configuration of the WLAN Device

The WLAN device can be configured to establish wire- less network connectivity using the Intel PROSet for Wireless utility. The Intel PROSet for Wireless utility allows for multiple profile setup and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions is contained in this software.

FLOW OF OPERATIONS

1.Activate the WLAN Device (See Activating the WLAN Device on page 91 for more information).

2.Configure the Wireless Network parameters (See Configuration Using Intel PROSet for Wireless Utility, below).

Enter the network name (SSID)

Choose the appropriate WLAN architecture (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure)

Choose Authentication method: Open, Shared, WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA- Personal, or WPA2-Personal.

If using static WEP keys, enter static WEP key and choose key index.

3.Configure network settings

TCP/IP settings
