Using the Wireless Network Monitor Icon

After installing the Adapter, the Wireless-G USB Network Adapter Wireless Monitor icon will appear in your
system tray. If the Wireless Network Monitor is enabled, the icon will be green. If the Wireless Network Monitor is
disabled or the Adapter is not connected, the icon will be gray.
If you right-click the icon, you will see these choices:
• About - Click About to view the version information for the driver and Wireless Network Monitor.
• Use Windows XP Wireless Configuration (Windows XP only) - If your computer is running Windows XP, this
choice will be available. If you want to use Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration to control the Adapter—
instead of using the Wireless Network Monitor— select Use Windows XP Wireless Configuration.
If you want to switch back to the Wireless Network Monitor, right-click the Wireless Network Monitor icon,
and select Use Linksys Wireless Network Monitor.
• Turn Monitor on - Select Turn Monitor on to enable the Wireless Network Monitor.
• Turn Monitor off - Select Turn Monitor off to disable the Wireless Network Monitor.
