8 | Utility Configuration
When the utility program is running, there will be a quick launch icon in the lower right-hand
corner of the task bar. The icon will be GREEN if you have a good connection to a wireless
network. If it is red, you will need to verify the network settings and check to be sure that the
Wireless Access Point on your network is turned on. You may also need to re-position the Access
Point and place it in a higher position so that you are able to gain more wireless signal strength.
Double-click the quick launch icon in the system tray to bring up the Configuration Utility. This
provides quick access to management statistics and adapter settings.
Figure 8.0
The Configuration Utility includes the following tabs:
Status: Allows you to view/monitor network status, throughput, wireless mode, and TCP/IP
Information.
Site Survey: Displays all the Access Points within range of the wireless adapter's signal. Allows
you to configure and modify Profiles.
About: Shows the driver and utility version information.
Section 8.1 | Status
When the Configuration Utility is initialized, the Status window will be immediately shown. This
will show you the connection status of the wireless adapter. When you are connected to the
network, you will see the oscillating bars next to Signal Strength and the Status field will show
that it is "Associated" as well. The Network Connection will display "AP (Infrastructure)" when the
client is configured to connect to an Access Point. It will display "Ad Hoc" when the client is
configured to connect wirelessly to another wireless client.
