Section 4 - Knowledge Base

Using Window XP

Windows

XP users may use the built-in wireless utility (Zero Conguration Utility). The following instructions are for Service Pack 2 users. If you are

using another company’s utility or Windows

2000, please refer to the user manual of your wireless adapter for help with connecting to a wireless

network. Most utilities will have a “site survey” option similar to the Windows

XP utility as seen below.

If you receive the Wireless Networks Detected bubble, click on the

center of the bubble to access the utility or right-click on the wireless

computer icon in your system tray (lower right corner next to the time).

Select View Available Wireless Networks.

The utility will display any available wireless networks in your area. Click

on a network (displayed using the SSID) and click the Connect button.

If you get a good signal but cannot access the Internet, check you TCP/

IP settings for your wireless adapter. Refer to the Networking Basics

section in this manual for more information.

It is recommended to enable WPA on your wireless router or access

point before conguring your wireless adapter. If you are joining an

existing network, you will need to know the WPA key being used.

1. Open the Windows XP Wireless Utility by right-clicking on the wireless

computer icon in your system tray (lower-right corner of screen). Select

View Available Wireless Networks.

2. Highlight the wireless network (SSID) you would like to connect to

and click Connect.

3. The Wireless Network Connection box will appear. Enter the WPA-PSK

passphrase and click Connect.

It may take 20-30 seconds to connect to the wireless network. If the

connection fails, please verify that the WPA-PSK settings are correct. The

WPA-PSK passphrase must be exactly the same as on the wireless router.
