CONFIGURATION
CONFIGURATION
The conguration utility — which displays automatically once the adapter is
connected — is a useful utility that helps you congure the adapter and monitor
link status and statistics during the communication process. This adapter will auto-
connect to the wireless device
that has the best signal strength
and no wireless security setting.
The conguration utility icon appears in the Windows systems tray while the
adapter is running. You can open it by double-clicking on the icon.
NOTE: On some systems, the icon may only
be visible when you view hidden icons:
Right-clicking the icon reveals several
choices (which may vary depending on the
operating system used):

CONFIGURATION
Launch Cong Utility
This starts the conguration utility. It performs the same function as double-
clicking the icon.
Switch to Client + AP Mode
In this mode, the Intellinet Wireless 450N Dual-Band USB Adapter acts as both a
wireless network adapter for your computer and an access point for other wireless
devices to connect to the network. In most cases, this function is not needed and
should not be activated.
Switch to AP Mode
In this mode, the wireless USB adapter acts as an access point for other wireless
devices to connect to the network, but it does not function as a regular wireless
network adapter. In most cases, this function is not needed and should not be
activated.
Windows Zero Conguration Tool (not shown)
In Windows XP, there is a Windows Zero Conguration Tool (WZC) option for
setting up wireless clients. When it’s selected, you will not use the Intellinet WLAN
conguration utility to connect to any wireless network. Instead, you will use the
Windows integrated so-called “Zero Cong” function. If you are experienced in the
use of the Windows Zero conguration function, you can use it instead of the
Intellinet WLAN conguration utility. Unless you plan on using the AP mode
function of the WLAN adapter, there are no disadvantages to using Windows Zero
conguration over the Intellinet WLAN conguration utility. (This user manual only
includes instructions for the Intellinet WLAN conguration utility, however.)
Intellinet WLAN Utility Main Screen

CONFIGURATION
After you launch the utility, you’ll be
presented with the main screen. The
screen provides you with information
about your current wireless connection, such as the name (SSID) of the network
the computer is connected to, the current data rate and the computer’s IP address.
It also provides links to the various functions that the utility provides.
Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other
with no need for a wireless access point. It is similar to the older Ad-Hoc
mode, but it is easier to set up and provides more functionality. Refer to the
detailed Wi-Fi Direct section (Page 20) for details on how to use it.
Available Networks
Click this button to have the Intellinet wireless adapter scan for and display
a list of all wireless networks in range. Double-click an entry on that list to
establish a connection to that network. Read more in the Connecting to a Wireless
Network section (Page 10).
Link Information
Click for detailed information about the current wireless connection, which
some might even nd interesting.
Prole List
Whenever you establish a connection to a Wireless network, you can add
the connection to your prole list, enabling you to later quickly join the
network without having to provide the security credentials again. Read more on
this in the Prole List section (Page 11).
Advanced
Access to advanced settings is possible via this function. It is not needed
under normal circumstances to make any changes here. See the Advanced
Settings section (Page 18) for details.
About
This screen displays information about the software version of the WLAN
utility.

CONFIGURATION
Connecting to a Wireless Network
Click on the Available Networks button for a list of available wireless networks.
Locate your wireless network in the list, and double-click it. In case the wireless
network is protected by a security key, a screen will show up asking you to conrm
the wireless settings. The example below uses WPA2-PSK authentication and
AES encryption. If you do not know what this means, or if you do not know which
values your wireless network uses, don’t worry: The utility detects the settings
automatically for you, and under normal circumstances there is no need to make
any changes. Simply click on the circled right arrow — and don’t waste your time
wondering why this screen is even here.
The next step is to enter the actual password of the wireless network. This is often
referred to as the passphrase. It is important not to confuse this with the WPS
PIN code, which is explained later in this manual. You need to type in the correct
password and click on the right arrow to connect to the wireless network.
