Disconnecting from a Network
To disconnect from a network, turn the radio to OFF from the General page in PROSet.
Switching the Adapter Off and On
When your laptop is switched on, the adapter radio is constantly transmitting signals. In certain
situations, such as in a plane, signals from the radio may cause interference. This software
function allows you to use your laptop with the radio switched off.
To switch off the adapter radio from the General page (next to Wireless Device) click the Off
button for the following results:
• The wireless adapter is not associated with the network.
• PROSet can be used to edit or add profile contents.
To switch on the adapter radio on from the General page (next to Wireless Device), click the On
button for the following results:
• With PROSet active, the wireless adapter will try to associate with the network access
point using the last profile. If the adapter cannot connect to the access point, the
Configuration Service will attempt to find an available network. Refer to Configuration
Service above for more information.
Switching Between Wired and Wireless Adapters
Adapter switching enables your computer to automatically switch between wired and the Intel
PRO/Wireless LAN 7100/2100 3B Mini PCI adapter, so your laptop computer can maintain the
best possible connection to the network while moving from one location to another. When
Adapter Switching is enabled, DHCP is disabled on all other wired adapters except for the
adapter currently being used. However, connection is possible using another wired adapter using
an auto IP address setting.
Adapter switching switches between wired and wireless adapters for the following Intel PRO
adapters:
• Wired LAN adapters. This type of adapter connects to a network through an Ethernet
network cable. Adapter Switching supports adapters in the PRO/100 family, including the
PRO/100 Mobile Adapters.
• Intel PRO/Wireless LAN Mini PCI adapter. This adapter send data to and from the
network through the adapter's antenna.
By default, adapter switching uses the wired Ethernet adapter when both wired and wireless
adapters are present and working. If you detach the wired adapter, adapter switching
automatically switches to the wireless adapter. When you attach an Ethernet cable again, adapter
switching automatically switches back to the wired Ethernet connection.
