Setting Up Wireless Devices

Your notebook model may have a Bluetooth device, an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 LAN, both devices, or neither device.

To determine which the wireless LAN devices are preinstalled on your notebook, use either of the following methods:

■ Look for a wireless device logo label on the keyboard area of

your notebook. For example, an Intel Centrino label indicates that your notebook contains an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 device.

■ Display the names of any preinstalled wireless LAN devices in

Device Manager: Select Start > My Computer. Right-click on the My Computer window, then select Properties > Hardware tab > Device Manager > Network Adapters.

Setting Up a Bluetooth Device

To set up a Bluetooth device, install the Bluetooth software preloaded on your notebook: select Start > All Programs > Software Setup. Select the Bluetooth software, then follow the set up instructions on the screen.

For more configuration information and instructions, refer on the Documentation Library—Bluetooth CD included with your notebook to the Bluetooth Getting Started guide and to the Bluetooth User’s Guide.

Setting Up an Intel Device

To set up an Intel WLAN device, you may use the Intel ProSet software preloaded on your notebook or the default Windows XP wireless network connection utility. For optimal functionality, use the Intel ProSet software and read the Caution at the end of this section.

■ To set up an Intel WLAN device using the default Windows XP

wireless network connection utility, follow the online instructions in your operating system documentation.

■ To install the Intel ProSet software, select Start > All Programs >

Software Setup. Select the Intel ProSet software, then follow the setup instructions on the screen.

For additional configuration information and instructions for using your Intel WLAN device, open the Intel ProSet software, then select Help on the menu bar.

Installing the preloaded Intel ProSet software disables the Windows wireless network connection utility.
