D-Link DWL-120+ [12/38] Using the configuration utility

Using the Configuration Utility

D-Link AirPlus DWL-120+ uses the Configuration Utility as the management

software. The utility provides the user an easy interface to change any settings

related to the wireless adapter. When the computer is started, the

Configuration Utility starts automatically and the system tray icon is loaded

in the toolbar (see illustration below.) Clicking on the utility icon will start the

Configuration Utility. Another way to start the Configuration Utility is to

click on Start>Programs>D-Link DWL-120+.

If you are using Windows XP, you can use either the Zero Configuration Utility

or the D-Link Configuration Utility. To use the D-Link Configuration Utility with

XP, click on the Zero Configuration Utility in the taskbar in the lower corner of

your computer screen and uncheck the box in the properties window that

enables windows configuration. After you have done this, you can then use the

D-Link Configuration Utility with XP.
