When the utility program is running, there will be a quick launch icon in the lower right-hand 
corner of the taskbar. The icon will be GREEN if you have a good connection to a wireless 
network. If it is red, you will need to verify the network settings and check to be sure that the 
Wireless Access Point on your network is turned on. You may also need to re-position the Access 

Point and place it in a higher position so that you are able to gain more wireless signal strength. 

Double-click the quick launch icon in the system tray to bring up the Configuration Utility. This 
provides quick access to management statistics and adapter settings.

Profile Management:
