Step 3: Configure the base station and network

1. Continue to follow the Setup instructions to establish your
wireless network settings:
• You will be given an opportunity to enable wireless security
(WEP). It is recommended that you choose to enable WEP.
For more information, click Help on the WEP security page, or
see Chapter 1 and Chapter 6 of this manual.
• When you are asked, you can save your network settings to a
floppy disk for use in subsequent setups. A blank floppy disk
is provided for this. If you don't choose to save to a disk, you
will be given a list of network settings to print or write down.
2. Click Finish to exit Setup.
3. Remove the Setup CD-ROM from the CD-ROM drive and the
floppy disk (if used) from the floppy disk drive. You can use the
same CD-ROM and floppy disk to set up additional computers.

Step 4: Test your network

1. View the status of your network in the Broadband Network
Utility. Ensure that you can see your base station and the
computer that is connected to it in the utility's status screen.
