In the first instance you need to decide if you are going to set the WFT-E1 (A) to talk directly to your
Mac’s wireless card (Ad Hoc) or whether you are going to use a wireless access point (Infrastructure).
Ad Hoc mode is useful for use outside with a laptop where an access point would be cumbersome;
however as Ad Hoc mode uses the older 802.11b wireless transmission format you will only achieve a
file transfer rate of up to 11Mbps. Using an Access point that is compatible with the 802.11g wireless
transmission format allows you to transmit files at up to 54Mbps.
From the Apple menu navigate to System Preferences pane
To set up your Network to communicate with the WFT-E1 (A) select the Network Icon from the System
Preferences pane.
If you are setting up in Ad Hoc Mode, select your adapter from the “Show” drop down menu, and select
to configure the IP address manually.
Insert your selected IP address in the IP Address box, and set your subnet mask to 255.255.255.0
If you are using Ad Hoc mode you will not need to fill in the Router box.
