communicate with the FC-8. (It is assumed that a wireless network adapter
is installed and operating on the host system.)
To configure the host system for first-time wireless operation:
1. Power on the FC-8 by connecting its 12V DC power supply.
Verify that the ON LED lights.
2. The host automatically detects the wireless adapter and displays an icon in
the lower-right corner showing that a wireless network was detected.
3. Click the wireless network icon, then click View Available Wireless
Networks.
The Wireless Network Connection window appears (see Figure 4). You
should see your wireless network listed with the network name
Kramer-FC8. If you don't see the network, click Refresh network list in
the upper-left corner.
4. Make sure the status Connected is shown.
If the network status is not Connected, click Kramer-FC8, and click
Connect in the lower-right corner.
