The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software 15
3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control
Software
With the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick you can set up wireless net-
work connections (WLANs) with various WLAN devices. The
FRITZ!WLAN control software assists you in setting up such a
network. Using FRITZ!WLAN you can establish and clear
WLAN connections and view information about the status of
your connections. With FRITZ!WLAN you can make all addi-
tional settings necessary for your connections.
3.1 Operating FRITZ!WLAN
FRITZ!WLAN offers two different views for operating and con-
figuring all WLAN connections.
The Program Icon in the Notification Area of the Task Bar
After FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick is installed and connected to a
WLAN remote site, FRITZ!WLAN appears as a program icon in
the notification area of the task bar. All of the basic functions
of the program can be operated using the context menu of
this icon. Connections between the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick
and known WLAN access points are established automatical-
ly as long as a successful connection to this device has al-
ready been configured and the device is turned on.
The green program icon indicates active WLAN connections.
If no active WLAN connection exists, this is indicated by a
gray icon:

Establishing a WLAN Connection
16 FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software
The FRITZ!WLAN Console
The console of the FRITZ!WLAN control software displays the
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick, the remote site, and the connection
between these devices as icons. The individual icons have
their own context menu. The context menus of these icons
can be used to establish or clear connections and to view the
properties of all WLAN devices and connections. Double-
click the FRITZ!WLAN program icon in the status area of the
Windows taskbar to open the control software. See the sec-
tion “The Console” on page 21 for more information.
3.2 Establishing a WLAN Connection
With FRITZ!WLAN you can establish WLAN connections to
WLAN remote sites (access points), which can provide ac-
cess to DSL, to printers, to mobile phones, to PDAs, and even
to other WLAN clients. Direct connections between two
FRITZ!WLAN USB Sticks are also possible. No matter which
device you want to connect to, connecting with FRITZ!WLAN
is always based on the same principle: search, find and con-
nect. There are two basic types of WLAN connections:
Ad-hoc Network
When parties connect directly to the WLAN, that is, in a
point-to-point connection, without using an access point like
FRITZ!Box WLAN, they have established an ad-hoc network.
This kind of direct connection is practical when WLAN users
in the immediate vicinity want to exchange data with each
other quickly and directly. In the FRITZ!WLAN control soft-
ware, this type of connection is designated by the ad-hoc
icon.
Infrastructure Network
When WLAN users connect with a WLAN access point like
FRITZ!Box WLAN, they establish what is called an infrastruc-
ture network. While the parties to an ad-hoc network must
share the available bandwidth, the WLAN access point in an
infrastructure network manages bandwidth so that each par-
ty receives the optimum amount. Then the access point can

Requirements for a Successful WLAN Connection
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software 17
be used to establish connections to a cable-connected net-
work or the Internet. The access point can thus be used to
connect wireless networks with cable-based ones. In the
FRITZ!WLAN control software, this type of connection is des-
ignated by the infrastructure icon.
Requirements for a Successful WLAN
Connection
Note the following to establish a WLAN connection between
two or more computers using the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick:
zMake sure that the resources to be made available for
network access are enabled for sharing on all comput-
ers. Such resources may include folders, drives, print-
ers or Internet connections.
zMake sure that the IP addresses of all parties are auto-
matically assigned by Windows (default setting in
Windows). Refer to the description of the settings re-
quired for automatic IP address assignments. Refer to
the section “Checking the IP Settings” on page 32.
Establishing a Connection with a WLAN Access
Point (Infrastructure Network)
This section describes the example of a connection between
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick and an AVM access point.
To establish a connection, perform the following steps:
1. Double-click the program icon FRITZ!WLAN in the notifi-
cation area of the Windows task bar. The FRITZ!WLAN
window opens.
2. Click the “Find” button to search for new WLAN devices.
All devices found are displayed in the “Find and Select
WLAN Devices” dialog.
3. Select an access point to which you would like to estab-
lish a connection and confirm your selection by clicking
“Select”.

Connecting Two WLAN Parties Directly (Ad-hoc Mode)
18 FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software
4. Enter the key of the access point in the “WLAN key”
field and click “OK”. The access point is displayed in
FRITZ!WLAN as a known WLAN device and a connection
to the device is established automatically.
The WLAN key for an AVM WLAN Access Point is printed
on the base of the device and on the CD jewel case.
Connecting Two WLAN Parties Directly (Ad-hoc
Mode)
Offering an Ad-hoc Connection
Work through the following steps to offer other WLAN parties
an ad-hoc connection:
1. Double-click the FRITZ!WLAN program icon in the notifi-
cation area of the task bar.
The FRITZ!WLAN console opens.
2. Select the “Create Ad-hoc Network” command in the
context menu of the WLAN remote site. The “Ad-hoc
Network” window opens.
3. One ad-hoc network has already been configured, only
a WLAN key must be defined to complete its settings.
All WLAN users must enter this key to make a direct con-
nection.
See the encryption instructions in the section “Encryp-
tion” on page 27.
Click the “Edit” button to adjust the preconfigured set-
tings as desired.
4. Confirm with “OK”.
The ad-hoc network is now ready for operation and awaits
other WLAN users. In the FRITZ!WLAN control software, yel-
low waves in the ad-hoc network icon indicate that it is ready
to establish ad-hoc connections.

Connecting Two WLAN Parties Directly (Ad-hoc Mode)
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software 19
FRITZ!WLAN control software: ready for ad-hoc connections
Participating in an Ad-hoc Network
Perform the following steps to offer other parties an ad-hoc
connection:
1. Open the FRITZ!WLAN control software on all of the
computers to be connected to the ad-hoc network. To
do this, double-click the FRITZ!WLAN icon in the notifi-
cation area of the task bar.
2. Click the “Find” button to search for WLAN devices at
your location.
3. An ad-hoc network for direct connections is designated
by the ad-hoc icon in the “Find and Select WLAN De-
vice” window.
4. Select the desired ad-hoc party in the list of WLAN de-
vices found. Then click the “Apply” button.
5. Next, enter the shared WLAN key in the “Ad-hoc Net-
work” window and confirm your entry by clicking “OK”.
See the encryption instructions in the section “Encryp-
tion” on page 27.
6. The ad-hoc network is displayed on the FRITZ!WLAN
console as a known device and the WLAN connection is
established.
The process of automatically assigning IP addresses can
take up to three minutes and is signaled by a flashing IP traf-
fic light on the user console. Automatic IP address assign-
ments work the same way in all Windows versions
(Windows XP, Windows Me, Windows 2000 and
Windows 98 SE).

Establishing a WLAN Connection Using AVM Stick & Surf Technology
20 FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick – 3 The FRITZ!WLAN Control Software
3.3 Establishing a WLAN Connection
Using AVM Stick & Surf Technology
If you have an AVM WLAN product from the FRITZ!Box family,
equipped with a port for USB devices (USB host function),
then you can transfer the security settings for this port to the
FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick quickly and conveniently using AVM
Stick & Surf technology. To establish a connection, perform
the following steps:
1. Insert the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick in the USB port on
FRITZ!Box to be used for transmission.
FRITZ!Box WLAN 3050 port for USB devices
2. The FRITZ!Box “INFO” LED begins flashing to indicate
that the WLAN security settings are being transmitted to
the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick.
3. When data transmission has been completed success-
fully, the “INFO” LED stops flashing on the FRITZ!Box
and remains lit.
4. Remove the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick from the FRITZ!Box
USB port.
This completes transmission of the WLAN security settings.
As soon as you connect the FRITZ!WLAN USB Stick to your
computer, the security settings of your WLAN are implement-
ed in the FRITZ!WLAN control software. The AVM Stick & Surf
logo appears and a WLAN connection to FRITZ!Box is estab-
lished automatically.
