Using Window XP
Windows
®
XP users may use the built-in wireless utility (Zero Conguration Utility). The following instructions are for Service Pack 2 users. If you are
using another company’s utility or Windows
®
2000, please refer to the user manual of your wireless adapter for help with connecting to a wireless
network. Most utilities will have a “site survey” option similar to the Windows
®
XP utility as seen below.
If you receive the Wireless Networks Detected bubble, click on the
center of the bubble to access the utility or right-click on the wireless
computer icon in your system tray (lower right corner next to the time).
Select View Available Wireless Networks.
The utility will display any available wireless networks in your area. Click
on a network (displayed using the SSID) and click the Connect button.
If you get a good signal but cannot access the Internet, check you TCP/
IP settings for your wireless adapter. Refer to the Networking Basics
section in this manual for more information.
It is recommended to enable WPA on your wireless router or access
point before conguring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an
existing network, you will need to know the WPA key being used.
1. Open the Windows XP Wireless Utility by right-clicking on the wireless
computer icon in your system tray (lower-right corner of screen). Select
View Available Wireless Networks.
2. Highlight the wireless network (SSID) you would like to connect to
and click Connect.
3. The Wireless Network Connection box will appear. Enter the WPA-PSK
passphrase and click Connect.
It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless network. If the
connection fails, please verify that the WPA-PSK settings are correct. The
WPA-PSK passphrase must be exactly the same as on the wireless router.
