Using the Setup Wizard
This chapter will guide you through the setup process for your Microsoft
Networking Wireless Base Station. The procedures described in the Typical Setup
section of this chapter will help you set up your base station by using the wizard on the
Setup CD. Typical Setup is recommended because the Setup Wizard identifies and
configures a variety of Internet and wireless network settings.
To use the Typical Setup steps, you will need:
A computer that has an Ethernet port and is running Microsoft Windows
Windows Millennium Edition, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows 98, or
Windows 98 SE operating system.
An external broadband modem with an Ethernet port.
You should not use the Typical Setup steps if any of the following apply to you.
You don't have a computer with an Ethernet port. See "Setting Up the Base Station
Wirelessly" later in this chapter.
You have an existing network with a base station, gateway, or router and you want
to use this wireless base station to add wireless connectivity or extend your
network's wireless range. See "Access Point Setup" in Chapter 3.
You want to set up the base station from a computer that isn't running Windows.
See Chapter 3.
You don't want to run the Setup Wizard to set up the base station. See Chapter 3.
Typical Setup
The steps in this section correspond to the steps that you will go through in the Setup
Wizard on the Setup CD. If possible, you should use the Setup Wizard whenever you
set up a Microsoft Broadband Networking product on your network.
Note You can use the Setup and Network Utility (v.2.0) CD that comes with this base
station to install all current and previous versions of Microsoft Broadband Networking
products. If you have other Microsoft Broadband Networking products on your network,
you do not need to keep multiple copies of this CD and you can discard earlier versions
of this CD.
