Addendum for Wireless Network Monitor Utility
Reminder: This is a USB 2.0 device. To utilize the full data throughput you must connect it to a PC with a USB 2.0 port and not a USB 1.1 port.
READ THIS ADDENDUM ONLY IF YOU CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY CONNECT TO YOUR NETWORK.
This only applies to users who use multiple access points in the same area or those who have problems finding the access point/ad-hoc network they want to connect
to using the Network Monitor Utility.
When using the Utility to perform a Site Survey to connect to an access point in your wireless network, note that two limitations exist on the Utility: only a range of channels can be scanned at one time, and only a maximum of five access points and/or Ad-hoc networks will appear in the list of access points. So, if the access point or Adhoc network's channel is outside the range of the monitor, it will not appear in the site survey window even if you click the Refresh button. And if there are more than 5
access points and/or Ad-hoc network in the range, only the strongest signal will appear in the Site Survey tab.
If you want to connect to an access point or Ad-hoc network that does not appear in the list, you will need to change your profile settings in the Utility. Follow these
instructions:
1. Open the Utility. To do this, double-click on the Wireless network Monitor Utility icon on your system tray.
2. Open "Chapter 5: Using the Wireless Network Monitor" of the User Guide on the CD-ROM.
3. Follow the instructions for the option that applies to your situation:
Option A.
Option B
If you know the wireless network settings (SSID, security, etc.) of the access point or Ad-hoc network you wish to connect to, click on the
Profiles tab, and create a new profile (refer to “Creating a New Profile” section in the User Guide) or click the Edit button to edit the existing profile with
the appropriate settings for the access point or Ad-hoc network. Next, you can save, and activate the profile. You should now be connected to the
access point/network if all the information you entered is correct. You can click the Link Information tab and click More Information to check the status of the connection. If you still cannot connect to your network, follow option B.
If you don't know the wireless network settings of the access point or Ad-hoc network you want to connect to, or you need to scan through a
range of channels that is not displayed by the Site survey of the Utility, we recommend that you create a new profile. Or you can edit your existing profile
(all settings in the profile will be changed when you save your new settings).
To create a new profile, click on the Profiles tab in the Wireless Network Monitor, and follow the instructions in the “Creating a New Profile” section in
the User Guide, using the default settings, but with the following exceptions:
1. Network Settings screen. Use the default setting Obtain network setting automatically (DHCP)
2. Wireless Mode screen. Select Ad-Hoc Mode. Enter the network name for the SSID or create one if you haven’t already done so.
3. Ad-Hoc Mode Settings screen. Select Channel 1 for the channel.
After completing the instructions and saving and Connecting to Network to activate the profile, return to the Site Survey tab, click Refresh, and you
should see a list of access points/Ad-Hoc networks using channels 1 to at least channel 4 (you’ll see your PC with the SSID you created as an Ad-Hoc
network in the site survey screen). You can highlight the access point or Ad-hoc network you want to connect to and click the Connect button to connect
to it (if security is enabled, you must enter the proper security settings). Save this profile as your default profile.
If the Access point or Ad-hoc network you were looking for does not appear, modify the profile you created and go to the Ad-Hoc Mode Settings screen.
Change the channel to 6. If your problems continue, change the channel to 11.
