section of this guide. The WLAN Access Point Utility program icon in the
system tray will change from red to green when a Wireless Access Point

Step 4. Configuration of the Wireless Access Point
After the Wireless Access Point is installed, click Windows Start, Programs,
and WLAN Access Point Utility to launch the Access Point Configuration
Utility. Click AP in the toolbar and then click Scan.
This will search for the Wireless Access Point in the network. If a Wireless
Access Point is detected, the WLAN Access Point Utility will display the
Wireless Access Point information. By default, all Wireless Access Points
are named WLAN01. After you successfully connect to the WLAN Access
Point Utility, you can change the name of the Wireless access Point.
If you are using multiple Wireless Access Points, you must know the MAC
address of the Wireless Access Point you are currently configuring. The
MAC address is located on the bottom of the Wireless Access Point case
and in the Utility tool in the State field. Locate the correct Wireless Access
Point in the list that appears. If the listed Wireless Access Point does not
match the MAC address on the bottom of the correct Wireless Access
Point, refer to the Troubleshooting section in this guide or in the User
Guide on the Installation CD-ROM for more information.
Double-click the correct Wireless Access Point in the list.
If the Wireless Access Point in the list has an IP address, the Access Point
Web Configurator will launch in your default Web browser.
Congratulations! You have finished installing your hardware and the
necessary software. You should now be able to connect your Wireless
Access PC Cards and PCI Adapters to the Wireless Access Point.
If the Wireless Access Point in the list does not have an IP address,
proceed to the Assigning an IP address to the Wireless Access Point
section in this guide.
