Chapter 3 - Software Installation and
Network Settings
This chapter describes how to install the Wireless LAN Access Point software and set
new settings for your network.
Installing Software
Choosing Your Computer
Decide on which of your wireless computers you are going to install the software.
This computer will be your administrative station and, once the software is installed,
it will allow you to change the settings for your wireless network. You can install the
software on any computer, as long as it has:
• A USB Wireless LAN connected to your PC
• At least 5MB of free hard disk space
• Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows 2000
• If you are planning to connect external equipment to the Ethernet port of your
Wireless LAN Access Point, ensure that the equipment is close to the device.
NOTE
Installing the software on more than one computer allows you to change the network
settings from more locations. However, it is recommended that you do not install the
software on all the computers in your wireless network as it increases the chances
of the settings being changed regularly by all members of the wireless network.
