to observe basic safety rules or precautions.
An accident can often be avoided by
recognizing potentially hazardous situations
before an accident occurs. A person must be
alert to potential hazards. This person should
also have the necessary training, skills, and
tools to perform these functions properly.
Improper operation, lubrication,
maintenance, or repair of this product can
be dangerous and could result in injury or
death.
Do not operate or perform any lubrication,
maintenance, or repair on this product until
you have read and understood the

Safety precautions and warnings are provided
in this manual and on the product. If these
hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury
or death could occur to you or to other
persons.
The hazards are identified by the “Safety Alert
Symbol” and followed by a “Signal Word” such
as “DANGER”, “WARNING”, or “CAUTION”.
The Safety Alert “WARNING” label is shown
below.
The meaning of this safety alert symbol is as
follows:
Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety is
Involved.
The message that appears under the warning
explains the hazard and can be either written
or pictorially presented.
Operations that may cause product damage
are identified by “NOTICE” labels on the
product and in this publication.
Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible
circumstance that might involve a potential

IMPORTANT NOTE:
To comply with US and Canadian regulatory
requirements, read, understand, and follow
the guidelines in the Regulatory Information
section in this manual when configuring
and operating the 317-7493 Wireless Radio
(W-CA3) and related components.
The 317-7492 Wireless Radio Kit connects to

order to create an 802.11 wireless connection
to an Electronic Technician enabled PC.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
When the 317-7492 Wireless Radio Kit is
purchased, it is deactivated by default.
Before operating the wireless radio (W-CA3)
for the first time, it must be configured for the
country it will be used in. Perform the steps
in the “Viewing/Changing the Internal
Settings of the W-CA3” section. Once
complete, return to this section to proceed
with the setup of the CA3 and wireless radio.

Configuring the PC for Communication
With the W-CA3
NOTE: The W-CA3 does not need to be
connected to the PC in order to configure
communication between the W-CA3 and the
PC.
The W-CA3 can be used with any 802.11a or
802.11b/g enabled wireless card. In order to
communicate with the W-CA3, a “Profile” in the
“Wireless Client Utility” must be set up for the
wireless card. The following is one example
for configuring this profile.
NOTE: These steps are shown as an example
and may not appear exactly the same on the
PC being used. There are numerous wireless
card and software manufacturers on the
market and Caterpillar cannot accurately
portray every example here. The important
thing to remember is that
eeaacchh
of these steps
MUST be completed in the “Wireless Client
Utility” for the PC being used in order for Cat
ET to be able to communicate through the
wireless radio (W-CA3).
NOTE: It is advisable to consult with the
IT Department of the dealership to complete
these steps. Many users may not have the
authority to make the changes documented.
The IT Department should also be involved in
evaluating whether the use of the W-CA3 radio
will interfere with the wireless network for the
dealership/business. If the settings for the
W-CA3 radio need to be changed to account
for this interference, proceed to the section
“Changing the Internal Settings of the W-CA3”
of this manual.
Default Settings for the W-CA3:
• SSID: W-CA3
• Wireless Band: 802.11 b or g
• Wireless Mode: Ad-Hoc (Auto IP enabled
check box is found under network
settings)
• Channel Number Search: Channel 11
(eleven)
• Security: WEP (104/128 bit)
• Security Key:
35373c57222750362a334c6a71
Creating a Wireless Profile on the PC
In order for the Cat ET enabled PC to
communicate with the W-CA3 radio, the PC
wireless card must be set up appropriately.
These steps are shown for reference only, and
the instructions listed here may not be the
same for every PC.
1. Open the “Client Manager Utility” for the
wireless card that is intended for use with
the W-CA3. The example shown here is for
a Dell D610 laptop. The “Client Manager
Utility” can be opened in one of two ways.
Choose one of the methods to open the
utility.
a. Right click on signal strength bars icon
(a) on the task bar. Click “Open Utility.”
(a) Signal Strength Bars.
8
b. Go to “Start” >> “All Programs” >> “Dell
Wireless” >> “Dell Wireless WLAN Card
Utility.”
2. When the utility opens, click “Add.”
NOTE: Variations on different computers
might include the following: “New,” “New
Profile,” “Add Profile,” “Create New
Connection,” and others not listed here.
NOTE: Many wireless client utilities provide
the ability to “Scan” or “Monitor” for available
networks. In this example, there is an
“Available Networks” box that will show the
W-CA3 radio is available for connection. If
“W-CA3” is double-clicked, the “Add” menu
appears and automatically completes all of the
necessary settings, except for the security
settings. The security settings listed in the
“Configuring the PC for Communication With
the W-CA3” section can be added to complete
the profile.
9
3. W-CA3 appears in the “Available Networks”
area of the Dell Wireless WLAN Card Utility
window.
a. Double-click on “W-CA3” to add.
b. When ready, click “OK.”
4. From the “Wireless Network Properties”
screen:
a. Enter 35373c57222750362a334c6a71 in
Network key field
b. Enter 35373c57222750362a334c6a71 in
Confirm key field.
c. Click “OK.”
10
5. If the wireless client utility did not provide
the functionality described in Steps 3 and
4, proceed with the following steps. If the
utility did provide the functionality and
created the profile, proceed to Step 12.
6. Enter W-CA3 into the “SSID” area of the
Wireless Network Properties window. This
is sometimes called “Network” or “Network
Name.”
7. Select “Open” for the “Network
Authentication.”
11
8. Select “WEP” for “Data Encryption.” This is
sometimes called “Security Type” or
“Encryption Method.”
9. Enter 35373c57222750362a334c6a71 for
“Network Key” and again for “Confirm Key.”
This is sometimes called “WEP Key,”
“Security Key,” or “Pre-Shared Key.”
NOTE: Some wireless client managers do not
accept lower case letters, so the use of capital
letters is acceptable.
