You have finished installing your hardware and your drivers! The
22 Mbps Wireless PC Card is set to Auto Detect mode by default, which allows it to scan for
and connect to an existing wireless network or other wireless networking products in the
area.
You should now see a small icon for the Configuration
Utility in the system tray by your clock. The Configuration
Utility is used to change or verify the configuration
information that relates to your 22 Mbps Wireless PC
Card or PCI Adapter. The Configuration Utility icon will be
colored to indicate the status of your wireless network:
red for disconnected, yellow for connected with poor
quality, and green for connected with good quality.
You must now configure each computer that has a 22 Mbps Wireless PC Card or PCI
Adapter in order to share Internet connectivity, files, and a printer. Refer to the User
Guide on the Installation CD for this information.
802.11b AdHoc mode is used for peer-to-peer network configurations. Infrastructure mode
is used to add a Wireless Access Point to the wireless network configuration for extended
range and increased number of computers that can join the network. Auto Detect mode
allows the Configuration Utility to search for a wireless network and automatically
connect to it. Each 22 Mbps Wireless PC Card or PCI Adapter in the wireless network must
have the correct mode selected within the Configuration Utility. The 22 Mbps Wireless
Cards and PCI Adapters are set to Auto Detect by default.
