3. Configuration Guide
3.1. For Windows XP
802.11/B/G/N USB DONGLE can be configured by Wireless Client Utility (WCU) in
Windows XP & 2000. This chapter describes how to configure your Adapter for wireless
connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security
encryption features.
The configuration of the adapter in Windows XP is similar with that of Windows 2000.
This User Guide takes Windows XP for example.
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon
will appear in your system tray. It
appears at the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength using color and the
received signal strength indication (RSSI).
If the icon is gray, there is no connection.
If the icon is red, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is less than 5dB.
If the icon is yellow, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is between 5dB and
10dB.
If the icon is green, there is good signal strength and the RSSI is between 10dB and
20dB.
If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength and the RSSI is more than 20dB.
Double-click the icon and the WCU will run. You can also run the utility by clicking the
Start→ Program→ Wireless→
30BWireless Client Utility→ Wireless Client Utility. The
WCU provides some integrated and easy tools to:
 Display current status information
 Edit and add configuration profiles
 Display current diagnostics information
The section below introduces these above capabilities.
