Wireless-G Notebook Adapter with SRX
Wireless Zero Configuration
The Site Survey list in the Utility window displays the security advertised by the AP.
The Utility supports configuration of WEP or shared key options for authentication and WEP or None options for
encryption. In the Profile window, you can select WEP or open security for the radio connection between your PC
and the access point and enter choices for encryption and authentication within the selected security framework.
For instructions, see Working with Profiles.
Windows XP users can connect to networks that support WPA security provided that the appropriate Microsoft
security updates have been installed. When WZC is managing the device, the profile features of the Utility are
automatically disabled; however, it is still recommended to use the Utility to view scanned networks.
To use WZC to configure security settings:
1. Select Use Windows to configure my wireless networks in the Utility main window.
2. Click OK.
Now use WZC to configure security settings:
1. Right-click the wireless icon on the system tray.
2. Select View Available Wireless Networks.
The appearance of the next dialog box depends upon whether your computer has Windows XP Service Pack 1 or
Service Pack 2 installed.
For Service Pack 2, the following window opens. (Figure 6-7)
1. Select the network, and click Connect.
2. If the network requires a security password or key, you are prompted to enter the key. This occurs, for
instance, if WPA-PSK security is currently used in the network.
3. The system connects the Adapter to the network and presents a star icon, indicating that a successful
connection was made. A balloon message also appears in the system tray.
For Service Pack 1, a window opens to show the list of available networks. (Figure 6-8)
1. Select your network, and click Advanced to open the Wireless Network Connection Properties window,
Wireless Networks tab.
