3.5Configuring the Wireless Adapter to Connect WiJET.G

3.5.1Configure the Wireless Network Adapter

Look at the banner page on the projector/monitor screen in your meeting room to determine the SSID and the channel that the WiJET.G is currently set on. The channel number ranges from 1 – 11 for the US or 1 – 13 for Europe.

By default, WiJET.G operates as an AP (Access Point). When the WiJET.G starts up, the SSID of the WiJET.G will be displayed on the upper left corner of the monitor/projector. You should configure your Wi-Fi wireless network adapter so that it connects to the SSID of WiJET.G. There are many ways to configure the wireless adapter cards. The following is an example sequence.

Open the Wireless Configuration Utility program (which may be called a different name) provided by the manufacturer of the Wi-Fi wireless network adapter and modify the settings as the following:

1.Change the network type to “the “Infrastructure” mode.

2.Change the “SSID” of the wireless network adapter so that it matches the SSID of WiJET.G

3.Observe the wireless signal indications on the wireless configuration program to make sure there is an active wireless link between the wireless network adapter and the WiJET.G.

3.5.2Configure the Wireless Adapter for Windows XP

To configure your Wireless Network Adapter for Windows XP, you must first know if your Wireless Adapter is natively supported under Windows XP. The easiest way to know this is to see if an icon is in your system tray as in Figure 3.9.

If your system tray looks like the figure shown in Figure 3.9, your wireless card is natively supported under Windows XP and you should read the rest of this section. It will instruct you on how to connect your wireless adapter to the WiJET.G under Windows XP. If you do not have the addition Wireless Network Connection icon in your system tray as shown in Figure 3.9, you should check if you have any Wireless configuration utility in your system tray instead, as in Figure 3.10.
