4 Wireless Network Configuration

Several wireless devices may be installed in the Trux computer. The available devices and combinations
may vary by regulatory domain. Available devices include:
•
An 802.11 radio, either b/g or an a/b/g
•
A Bluetooth radio
•
A WAN card.

4.1 802.11 Radio

The 802.11 radio supports several options for wireless security. Select the appropriate section for your
radio type for available configuration and wireless security options.

4.1.1 802.11b/g Radio

The 802.11b/g radio is configured with the Broadcom Wireless Utility (BWU). The BWU can be
accessed by:
•
Selecting Start | All Programs | Broadcom Wireless | Broadcom Wireless Utility
•
Clicking on the BWU icon in the system tray.

4.1.1.1 Wireless Zero Config

This section assumes the BWU is used to configure the radio. However, it is possible to use the Windows
Wireless Zero Config (WZC) utility to configure the radio.
To use WZC to configure the radio:
•
Start the BWU and select the Wireless Networks tab.
•
Uncheck "Let this tool manage your wireless networks".
•
Click OK.
The Windows WZC utility can now be used to configure the radio. Please refer to the Help function in
Microsoft Windows XP for more information on using Windows to configure the wireless network
connection.
To return radio control to the BWU, restart the BWU and follow the on screen instructions.
