Configuring you Wireless LAN Card Utility
The Wireless LAN Card Utility is used to configure and monitor the NetComm NP7042 - Wireless LAN USB Adaptor for all Windows operating systems. It functions in the same way for Windows 98, Millennium (ME) and Windows 2000.
Note: Users of Microsoft Windows XP do not need to use this Utility as Windows XP has inbuilt support for WLAN devices and will automatically configure them where possible. You may still install the Wireless LAN Utility, as it may be useful for diagnosing problems, but some of the options shown in these pages will not be available; they are configured by Windows XP. Please refer to the section on Microsoft Windows XP on page 21.
We strongly suggest you also use Windows XP
Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000
To install the Wireless LAN Card Utility:
1.Go to the Start menu and select Run.
2.Type in the location of the setup.exe program, usually D:\Software\WLan Utility\setup.exe (where D:\ is the letter of your CD ROM drive), or browse to the setup file. Click OK.
The setup program will install all the files necessary and create Start Menu and desktop icons, if selected.
Note: If the setup program detects that the Wireless LAN Card Utility has been previously installed, it will prompt you to either remove the previous installation or repair the current installation. We recommend that you remove the existing installation if you are experiencing difficulties and are reinstalling the software.
3.If prompted, restart your computer.
The Wireless LAN Card Utility should now be available on the Start Menu.
Click on the icon and, once the Wireless LAN Card Utility has started, the following screen appears:
