7.2 Configuring the Spectrum24 Adapter in
Windows XP
To configure the Spectrum24 WLAN adapter in Windows XP:
1. Right-click the Mobile Companion task tray icon to display the Mobile
Companion menu.
2. Select Find WLANs.
The Available WLAN Networks page appears with the access point or
Ad Hoc (peer-to-peer) networks available to the adapter displayed.
Use the signal strength bar to the left of each network as a signal
strength and performance indicator for the network. Networks with a
signal strength of Good (3 Green bars out of 5) or better should be
considered for connection. A (!) symbol displays to the left of networks
currently out of range.
3. Select a network and click Connect.
If an icon with a key displays to the left of a network, the network is using an
encryption algorithm for additional security. To connect, the user is required
to enter the 40-bit shared key, 128-bit shared key or Kerberos encryption
algorithm set for the target access point or networked client in the Encryption
property page. Consult with the Network Administrator if the encryption
algorithm is unknown.
If there is nothing displayed in the Available WLAN Networks property
page, there are no available access points within proximity that can be heard
by the MU or access points are using multi ESS mode. In multi ESS mode,
non primary ESSIDs do not display.
