Connecting to a Wireless Network
After you install your Card for the first time, it will connect to your wireless

a network. To manually connect to a wireless network, see the steps below.
1. Open the Utility by double-clicking the system tray icon ( ) or the
desktop shortcut. ( )
2. All networks in your area will be displayed in the “Available Networks”
window. Select the network that you want to connect to by clicking the
name (under the SSID column) of the network. Once you have selected the
network, click the “Connect” button.
Note: If the network that you are attempting to connect to is using encryption,
you will be prompted to enter the network key. If you don’t know the key, you
will need to obtain it from the system administrator. Also, see the section of
this manual called “Creating and Using a Profile” for advanced encryption
setup options.
3. The name of the network will appear in the “Connected to” window and the
Signal Strength indicator will show the network’s signal strength. Your
computer is now connected to the wireless network.
