Figure 5-3. The WLAN Adapter Tab

i Set the Interrupt Number, IO Port Address, and Memory Base

Address options to the same values you recorded for the

Spectrum 24 adapter in Step 5 on page 37 and click OK.

NOTE: Occasionally, Windows NT may have some difficulty installing

the wireless adapter’s driver even after allocating free resources. If this

happens, try changing some of the resource settings for the card (IRQ,

I/O Port, or Memory address) to other free resources.

The other tabs in the Symbol Spectrum24 WLAN Advanced

Properties dialog box let you specify settings for the Spectrum 24

adapter when used as a normal wireless LAN adapter (ESSID,

WEP keys, and so on; see your Symbol Spectrum documentation

for details). The settings in this dialog box do not affect the adapter

when used in promiscuous mode by the Sniffer software.

- If you will only use the Spectrum 24 adapter for the Sniffer

software, you do not need to make any other changes in this

dialog box.

- If you will use the Spectrum 24 adapter as a normal wireless LAN

adapter (in addition to its network analysis role), use the provided

tabs to specify configuration information for the Spectrum 24

adapter when used as a normal wireless adapter (see your

Symbol Spectrum documentation for details).

k When you have finished configuring the options in the Symbol

Spectrum24 WLAN Advanced Properties dialog box, click OK.
