Getting Connected with 3Com Wireless LAN Manager
Your 3Com Wireless LAN Product has been initially setup as follows:
■
This has been set to allow you to connect to any Access Point without encryption or
authentication.
■
Encryption: No encryption has been enabled.
If 3Com Wireless LAN Manager does not show an active connection or you want to
connect to a different wireless LAN network then you will need to create a new
connection.
NOTE: Wireless LAN Manager defaults to automatically connect to any wireless
network with no security. This default allows a basic connection to an open access
point.
