When you installed your AnyPoint™ Wireless II adapter, you configured
your adapter settings to work in your primary network. For desktop PCs,
you rarely need to change these settings. For laptop PCs that you want to
use in different locations, you need to change the settings everytime you
connect to another network.
This chapter describes various tasks you might encounter when managing
your Wireless II network.
Using the AnyPoint Connection Manager
You can use the AnyPoint Connection Manager to edit wireless settings,
create profiles, and connect to any network profile. You can use one of two
tabs:
Wireless Control Panel tab
Use the Wireless Control Panel (WCP) tab to view or edit current
wireless settings, such as Network ID code (SSID), Mode (Peer-to-peer or
Infrastructure), channel, header, and encryption keys. This tab is the first
screen you see when you open the AnyPoint Connection Manager.
On desktop PCs, you can view and edit the settings on this tab when you
are changing your network, such as adding a new PC or gateway. On laptop
PCs, you can easily change settings on this tab to connect to a different
network.
Profile Manager tab
Use the Profile Manager tab to create, edit, and switch profiles. Profiles
contain all the wireless settings and operating system settings such as
shared drives, printers, browsers, TCP/IP addressing, and windows
settings. You can also use this tab to
Scan
for other networks. See Scan for
public access points on page 42 for details.
