Overview

While the Wireless Notebook Adapter can be set up with the Setup Wizard and
Window XP's Zero Configuration Tool, the Adapter also comes with a WLAN
(for Wireless Network) Monitor tool. The WLAN Monitor can be used to check
link information, search for available wireless networks, or make additional
configuration changes.
Important for Windows XP users: Windows XP has a built-in
configuration tool. Use the Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration
(in the system tray at the bottom of your screen) to configure the
Adapter. See "Chapter 4: Driver Installation and Configuration for
Windows XP."

After installing the Adapter, the WLAN Monitor icon will
appear in your system tray (shown in Figure 5-1). Double-
click this icon to open the WLAN Monitor.
The Link Information screen, shown in Figure 5-2, will appear, displaying the
settings for your current wireless connection. To search for available wireless
networks, click the Site Survey tab. To perform configuration changes, click
the Profiles tab.
