Introduction
The Azurewave 802.11n + Bluetooth Adapter supports 802.11n and Bluetooth EDR2.0
operation. The card uses the Azurewave Client Utility (ACU) which is a user-mode
utility designed to edit and add profiles for selected Azurewave network interface
adapters.
System
Requirements
Laptop/ PC containing:
32-bit PCI Express
Bus
32 MB memory or
greater
300 MHz processor or
higher
Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 98
Second
Edition, Windows XP, or Windows NT 4.0 (with Service Pack
6)
Profile Management
Configure the wireless network adapter (wireless card) from the Profile Management tab
of
the Azurewave Client Utility.
Add a
profile
Edit a
profile
Import a Profile
Export a
Profile
Order profiles
Switch to a different
profile
Remove a profile
Connect
to a Different
Network
The wireless network adapter works in either infrastructure mode (which uses an access
point) or ad hoc mode (a group of stations participating in the wireless LAN).
Create or Modify a Configuration
Profile
To add a new configuration profile, click New on the Profile Management tab. To modify a
configuration profile, select the configuration from the Profile list and click the
Modify
button.
The Profile Management dialog box displays the General tab. In profile management:
Edit the General
tab.
Edit the Security tab.
Edit the Advanced
tab.
To configure a profile for ad hoc or access point (infrastructure) mode, edit the Network
Type field on the advanced
tab.
Azurewave Technologies. Inc.,
8F.,No.94,BaozhongRd.,Xiandian,Taipei,Taiwan231

Note that the ACU only allows the creation of 16 configuration profiles. After
the
creation of 16 profiles, clicking the New button displays an error message. Remove an
old profile or modify an existing profile for a new use.
Remove a Configuration
Profile
1. Go to the Profile Management
t a b .
2. Select the profile to remove from the list of configuration pr o file s .
3. Click the Remove button.
Auto Profile Selection Management
Including a profile in the auto selection feature allows the wireless adapter
to
automatically select that profile from the list of profiles and use it to connect to the
network.
Including a profile in auto profile
se l ect ion :
1. On the Profile Management tab, click the Order Profiles button.
2. The Auto Profile Selection Management window appears, with a list of all
created
profiles in the Available Profiles box.
3. Highlight the profiles to add to auto profile selection, then click Add. The
profiles
appear in the Auto Selected Profiles box.
Ordering the auto selected
p r o f il es:
1. Highlight a profile in the Auto Selected Profiles box.
2. Click Move Up, Move Down, or Remove as appropriate. The first profile in the
Auto
Selected Profiles box has highest priority, and the last profile has lowest
priority.
3. Click
OK.
4. Check the Auto Select Profiles
box.
5. Save the modified configuration
file.
When auto profile selection is enabled by checking Auto Select Profiles on the Profile
Management tab, the adapter scans for an available network. The profile with the
highest priority and the same SSID as one of the found networks is the one that is used
to
connect to the network. If the connection fails, the adapter tries the next highest
priority profile that matches the SSID, and so on.
With auto profile selection enabled, the wireless adapter scans for available networks. The
highest priority profile with the same SSID as a found network is used to connect to the
network. On a failed connection, the adapter tries with the next highest priority profile.

also provides icons that specify the signal strength for that profile.
Import and Export Profiles
Importing a
P r o f il e
1. From the Profile Management tab, click the Import button. The Import
Profile
window appears.
2. Browse to the directory where the profile is
located.
3. Highlight the profile
name.
4. Click Open. The imported profile appears in the profiles
list.
Exporting a
P r o f il e
1. From the Profile Management tab, highlight the profile to
export.
2. Click the Export button. The Export Profile window
appears.
3. Browse to the directory to export the profile
to.
4. Click Save. The profile is exported to the specified

mask. Assigning an IP address and Subnet mask allows stations to operate in access point
mode (infrastructure mode) or in ad hoc mode and to have Internet access.
Default
gateway and DNS server information is also required. IP configuration information
(DHCP to assign the IP address, gateway and DNS server IP addresses) is usually obtained
from the corporate IT
staff.
5. Click OK to
finish.
