Wireless LAN connection
Using Wireless Panel
Wireless Panel is software for displaying the status of wireless
communications. Normally, it runs in the background, displaying the status
of your wireless connection as an icon on the taskbar. You can get more
detailed connection information by displaying its main screen. When using
an operating system other than Windows XP, Wireless Panel is also used to
set up computers or switch between connection settings.
Notes
• To use Wireless Panel to configure a computer running Windows 2000, log on as one
of the Administrators. You cannot configure the system when logged on with any other
account.
• With Windows XP, the operating system’s built-in wireless networking software, rather
than Wireless Panel, is used to configure wireless connections. Wireless Panel is useful
under Windows XP, however, to display connection information.
