To connect to an existing Access Point/wireless network adapter (ad hoc mode), proceed as follows:

1.Double-click the Network Connection icon on the system tray.

2.When the Connect to Wireless Network window pops up, you will see all the Ac- cess Points or wireless network adapters (ad hoc mode) that are available. Select the wireless network you want to connect to.

3.If the target Access Point/wireless network adapter (ad hoc mode) has been set with WEP key, you must enter the same WEP key in the Network key field. Otherwise leave it blank.

If you want to use encryption in infrastructure mode, please proceed as follows:

◆Ensure that encryption is activated on the Access Point.

i◆ Convert your passphrase for the Access Point to HEX format and type the key values into the appropriate field.

Using the HEX format makes sure that the keys are the same, even if wireless devices use different procedures to convert passphrases.

4.Click Connect, then you will join the target network and this dialog window will dis- appear. When your wireless connection is established, the Network Connection icon appears as below:

If the wireless connection can’t be established, double-click the Network Connection icon and then click Properties. Go to the Authentication tab i first to make sure that you are using the correct authentication type for the Gigaset USB Adapter 11. For more information, refer to "Authentica-
