4.2Using the Wireless Network Manager

When the Installer Wizard is complete the Wireless Network Manager program will be available in the Programs section of your Windows Start menu.

The first time the Wireless Network Manager runs it presents the Wireless Configuration Wizard that will help you make the appropriate settings for the various elements of your wireless system.

Fig. 23. The Wireless Configuration Wizard.

Follow the instructions of the wizard.

NOTE: The Wireless Configuration Wizard can discover any locally attached Access Points. If you select a discovered AP for re-configuration, and enter the AP’s valid password, it will be reset (even if you do not actually make any changes to its configuration).

NOTE: The default password for an AP is “root”. See Appendix A-1 for other AP default settings.

NOTE: The Wireless Configuration Wizard will be redisplayed every time that the Wireless Network Manager is run until it successfully completes the particular configuration that is requested.

Once the Wireless Configuration Wizard has finished the Wireless Network Manager program will run. Initially the Wireless Network Manager is shown “minimised” as a yellow icon in the system tray of the Windows task bar.
