Using the Utility

The NDC InstantWave 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter has its own management
utility. An icon will appear in the taskbar when you click the NDC InstantWave
Utility shortcut on your desktop. The Utility includes six tabs: Settings, Statistics,
Site Survey, Encryption, Advanced, and Version.

The utility allows users to configure the wireless network type (Ad hoc or
Infrastructure), Domain name (SSID) and Security (WEP). The Site Survey tool
allows users to view existing groups (Domain name/SSID of wireless cells in a
Domain). It provides the option to manually join a particular group in the network.

Tools are also provided for viewing the network in terms of wireless signal quality,
and for monitoring the station data throughput.

Important: For Windows XP users, the NDC InstantWave 11Mbps USB Adapter

supports the Wireless Zero Configuration service and may be
configured from the Windows XP built-in wireless utility. See
Windows XP, page 32.
