confiGuration
The conguration utility — which displays automatically once the card
is connected — is a powerful application that helps you congure the
card and monitor link status and statistics during the communication
process. This card/adapter will auto-connect to the wireless device that
has the better signal strength and no wireless security setting. The
conguration utility appears as an INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS
icon in the Windows system tray while the adapter is running. You
can open it by double-clicking on the icon.
Conguration of the Wireless G PC Card is done by selecting the options
and establishing the settings on the various screens made available when
you click on any of the six menu tabs: General, Prole, Available Network,
Advanced, Status and Statistics. The options and settings are presented
in detail below.
Each screen in the conguration utility displays a pair of option lines:
one at the top (above the six menu tabs) and one at the bottom (to the
left of the “Close” button).
