1. Windows Wireless Utility
1.1 Windows Zero Configuration for XP
1.1.1 Ralink Wireless Utility and Windows Zero Configuration
Windows XP includes a wireless configuration utility named "Windows Zero
configuration" (WZC) which provides basic configuration functions to the Ralink
Wireless NIC. Ralink's utility (RaUI) additionally provides WPA functionality. To
make it easier for the user to select the correct utility. RaUI will let users make a
selection when it first runs after windows XP boots.
Right-clicking the icon will bring up the selection window and allow the user to make
a selection.
Figure 1-1 RaUI.exe
RaUI can co-exist with WZC. When coexisting with WZC, RaUI only provides
monitoring functions, such as surveying the link status, network status, statistic
counters, advanced feature status, WMM status and WPS status. It won't interfere
with WZC's configuration or profile functions. It is shown as Figure 1-2.
Figure 1-2 Select WZC or RaUI
If "Use RaConfig as Configuration utility" is selected, please jump to Section 2 on
running RaUI.
If "Use Zero Configuration as Configuration utility" is selected, please continue.
We will explain the difference between RaUI and WZC. Figure 1-3 shows the RaUI
status when WZC is activated as the main control utility.
Figure 1-3 RaUI status with WZC active

When activating WZC, there are several difference with the RaUI status, compared to
the RaUI status without WZC running.
The profile button will be gray. Profile functionality is removed since the NIC is
controlled by WZC.
The Connect and Add Profile function will be gray. Profile functionality is
removed since the NIC is controlled by WZC.
Please read through this document for full details on the other functions provided by
RaUI.
