Using the Mobile Companion Utility
Spectrum24 Wireless LAN Adapter Users Guide A - 15
A.4.6 Available WLAN Networks Property Page
Select Find WLANs from the Mobile Companion main menu to display the
Available WLAN Networks property page.
Use the Available WLAN Networks property page to list those Spectrum24
networks (access points or networked peers) available to the adapter for
association. The network name reflects the ESSID of that access point. Each
network displays a signal strength indicator similar in appearance to the
Mobile Companion icon displaying in the Windows taskbar.
If a network displays a key to the left of the signal strength indicator, the
network is using an encryption algorithm. The adapter is required to use an
identical encryption scheme to interoperate with that access point or client. If
the encryption scheme is unknown, ask the system administrator.
Networks with a signal of Good (3 Green bars out of 5) or better should be
considered for connection. Click a network and click the Connect icon to
interoperate with the access point representing that network. Once
connected, the Mode, Encryption, IP Config and Power property pages
display the ESSID, security settings, IP configuration and power level.
Click the Refresh icon to update the list of networks available to the adapter.
