CONFIGURATION

The conguration utility — which displays automatically once the adapter
is connected — is a powerful application that helps you congure the

adapter and monitor link status and statistics during the communication
process. This adapter will auto-connect to the wireless device that
has the better signal strength and no wireless security setting.

CONFIGURATION

The conguration utility appears as an icon in the Windows system tray
while the adapter is running. You can

open it by double-clicking on the icon.

In Windows XP, there is a “Windows Zero

system tray and select “Use
INTELLINET Conguration
utility.”

enabled, you can only
congure the advanced
settings or check the
link status and statistics
from the conguration
utility of the adapter.

NETWORK

When you open the conguration utility, the system scans all the channels
to nd access points/stations within the accessible range of the adapter

and automatically connect to the wireless device with the highest signal
strength. On the Network screen, all the networks nearby are listed.

You can change the connection to another network or add one of the
networks to your own prole list.
