3.1 About the setup utilities
After you have installed the WiFi-AP Solo drivers and utilities to your system,
you are now ready to setup the WiFi-AP Solo in your network.
Make sure that you have selected the most appropriate conguration for
your wireless network before you proceed. Refer to section 1.4 for details.
Make sure you have connected the supplied antenna to the antenna
connector on the motherboard, or the WiFi-AP Solo may not be able to
detect other wireless devices in your environment.
The WiFi-AP Solo provides two conguration approaches: the setup wizard
and the setup utility. The former scheme provides an easy approach to the
most frequently used functions while the latter allows conguring all the
functions, including the advanced settings.
For normal users, the setup wizard helps to:
1. congure the WiFi-AP Solo as an access point, or wireless station (in either
Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode); and
2. create a network prole (when setting up Ad-hoc).
For advanced users, the setup utility helps to:
1. congure the WiFi-AP Solo as an access point, or wireless station (in either
Infrastructure or Ad-hoc mode);
2. create, edit and delete a network prole;
3. switch to Windows
®
Zero Conguration Service (Windows XP only) to
congure the wireless station function;
4. enable or disable the WiFi-AP Solo; and
5. show statistics.
