Utility, please perform the following procedures to disable your native Windows XP wireless support (Wireless Zero Configuration Service)

1. Double click the icon on your desktop to start the utility.

2. Make sure that the “Windows Zero Config” checkbox is unchecked.

Ad-Hoc Mode

An Ad-Hoc mode wireless network connects two computers directly without the use of a router or AP. It is also know as a peer-to-peer network. For example, we can install this wireless adapter to two computers respectively. The communication between the two computers is an Ad-Hoc mode network.

12

To use this adapter in Ad-Hoc Mode

1. Double click the icon on your desktop.

2. Click the “Available Network” button to scan available wireless network adapters. Double click on the network adapter that you are going to connect to.

3. Click the OK button to confirm that you are connecting to an open wireless network.

4. Click OK to add this network into the profile list.

Note: This example is an open wireless network. If you are going to connect to a

Wireless adapter with security protection, you will have to configure the encryption settings in this profile to be corresponding to the other wireless adapter. Please click on the “Network Authentication” drop list to select an authentication method, and then select a “Data encryption” type. Fill in each required blanks and click

“OK”.

13

Infrastructure mode

An Infrastructure Mode network contains at least one wireless client and one wireless AP or router. This client connects to Internet or intranet by communicating with this wireless AP.

14

To use this adapter in Infrastructure Mode:

1. Double click the icon on your desktop.

2. Click the “Available Network” button to scan available access points. Double click on the AP that you are going to connect to.

3. Click the OK button to confirm that you are connecting to an open wireless network.

4. Click OK to add this network into the profile list.

15

Note:

This example is an open wireless network. If you are going to connect to an AP with security protection, you will have to configure the encryption settings in this profile to be corresponding to your AP. Please click on the “Network Authentication” drop list to select an authentication method, and then select a “Data encryption” type. Fill in each required blanks and click “OK”.

Tip: Windows XP and Windows 2000 users is also allowed to connect to your wireless network with the “RT-Set” setup wizard. Please refer to “Appendix” for more information.
