Chapter 3 Using the Utility

The Configuration & Monitor Utility is a powerful application that helps you to
configure the network card and monitor the statistics of the communication link. This
application permits the configuration for parameters while the card is operating. It also
offers more configuration options and supports Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP. It appears as
an icon in the task bar at the bottom right corner of screen whenever the card is operating
(see Figure 3-1). The icon can tell you the received signal strength by four small lights.
You can open it by double-clicking on this icon.
