Save the new Profile and name it (Anypoint, for example).
I am trying to install a Wireless II adapter into an Intel
PRO/Wireless network
Use the following instructions if you have an existing 802.11 network
(other than an AnyPoint Wireless II network) and you want to add one or
more AnyPoint Wireless II adapters to the network.
To install a laptop with an AnyPoint Wireless II adapter into a Pro-
Wireless network:
1
On the PRO/Wireless PC, start the Profile Manager software (WLAN
places) and write down the following settings from the profile.
• Profile mode (Peer-to-Peer or Infrastructure)
• Encryption Code (Enabled or Disabled. If the encryption is Enabled,
then the specific encryption keys must match the Wireless II code
• Channel
• SSID Network ID name (sometimes referred to as ESSID)
• Header length (short or long)
• TCP/IP addressing
2 On the PC with the AnyPoint Adapter, install the AnyPoint software
and restart your PC.
3 Start the AnyPoint Connection Manager.
4 Click the Profile Manager tab.
5 Click New to create a new profile.
6 Select the Wireless Profile.
7 Enter the same values printed from the 802.11b network. All adapters
in the network must match these 802.11b settings.
8 Save the new profile, then click Activate.
Note: If the PC card is not an Intel PRO/Wireless adapter, then
you will need to change settings in another manner.
Note: These instructions are generic and will work with most
models in the PRO/Wireless series.
