Note:

The instructions for Agere, Cisco, and D-Link adapters are for computers running Windows 98.

The instructions for the Apple card are for computers running MacOS 9.0. Because not all Windows and

Macintosh versions respond to new hardware in the same way, screens may appear in a different order and may have a slightly different appearance than the screens shown in these instructions.

Your HomePortal is configured with unique security parameters that must be configured into your wireless adapter.

On the bottom of your HomePortal you will find two important pieces of information required for configuring your adapter: the serial number and the wireless encryption key.
