Installation
. Follow the instructions on the

■
When the T-Com WLAN Manager has been installed, click
Fertigstellen
(Finish) and insert the
Speedport W 100 Stick
into the free USB slot.
■
You will be asked to install the drivers for the specific operating system which you are using. When
you have done this, you must restart the computer. Pay attention to the notice about the
Windows® XP operating system's own management program.
■
Configure the
Speedport W 100 Stick
as described below.
A WLAN is particularly susceptible to privacy attacks because anyone can access such a net-
work without any great technical difficulties. Another notebook with a radio adapter is sufficient.
For this reason we strongly recommend you to change the SSID, activate the encryption and se-
lect a complex code immediately when you put your Speedport W 100 Stick
into operation for
the first time.
Double-click the symbol in the system tray (on the right-hand side of the task
bar). A window will then open with the register cards
Einstellungen (Settings),
Verbindung (Connection), IP Adresse (IP address), Netz-Übersicht (Net-
work overview)
and
Version (Version)
.
You can use the "Einstellungen" tab to make all the basic settings which are necessary in order to link up
the card to an existing WLAN. In the majority of cases it will only be necessary for you to make settings con-
cerning the encryption.
Note:
Your settings will only take effect if you click the
Übernehmen
(Apply) button. Every time you click
Übernehmen, however, the Verbindung (Connection) register card will open. For this reason, it may
be too time-consuming if you click Übernehmen after each setting. We recommend you to make all
of your settings first and then, when you have finished, to click the Übernehmen button. You can, of
course, confirm every single setting with Übernehmen.
When this tab is opened for the first time, the Allgemein (General) tab is foremost.
