3. CONFIGURATION
The Configuration & Monitor Utility is a powerful application that helps you to configure the WLAN CF
Card and monitor the statistics of the communication. Unlike the standard method of configuring the
card via the operating system utilities (e.g. Control Panel), this application permits the dynamic
modification of configuration parameters while the card is operating. This application also offers more
configuration options.
3.1 Under MS Windows 98/Me/ 2000/XP
The Configuration & Monitor Utility appears as an icon in the task bar of Windows while the card is
running (see Figure 3-1). You can open it by double-clicking on this icon.

some configurations that can be set shown on the screen (Status, Encryption, Site Survey, Advance,

“Change” button, you can change operating mode from Infrastructure to Ad-Hoc as you want. (Figure
