The installation procedure described in Section 3, Installation
assumes default settings for HomeRF parameters. Default network
settings are sufficient for most installations. In other words, the
installation procedure is designed so that you do not need to
know anything about wireless networking to install these products

However, if you have an existing wireless network or a more complex
network at home, you may need to manually configure the wireless
security code, also known as a network ID, for your wireless adapter.
You do not need to explicitly configure the security code for
s i m p l e f i, since s i m p l e f i learns and adapts to the security code of
the wireless adapter connected to your PC.
If you're having a problem with discovering s i m p l e f i, your problem

Appendix D, Configuring IP Address Information. Also, read
Appendix C, Troubleshooting.
