![99WIreless LAN User’s Guide Configuration of the WLAN DeviceThe WLAN Device can be configured to establish wire-less network connectivity using one of the following tools:■Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) - The WZC allows for multiple profile setup and sup-port for most industry standard security solutions. ■Intel PROSet Software - The Intel PROSet Software allows for multiple profile setup and supports auto-matic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions as well as Cisco Compati-ble Extensions (CCX) is contained in this software.■Atheros Client Utility - The Atheros Client Utility soft-ware allows for multiple profile setups and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most indus-try standard security solutions, as well as Cisco Com-patible Extensions (CCX), is contained in this software.FLOW OF OPERATIONS1. Activate the WLAN Device (See Activating the WLAN Device on page 98 for more information).2. Configure the Wireless Network parameters (See Configure Wireless Network Parameters on page 100 for more information).■Enter the network name (SSID)■Choose the appropriate WLAN architecture (Ad Hoc or Infrastructure)■Choose Authentication method: Open, Shared, WPA, or WPA-PSK■If using static WEP keys, enter static WEP key and choose key index. 3. Configure network settings (See Configure Net-work Parameters on page 100 for more informa-tion)■TCP/IP settings■Workgroup or Domain settings.CONFIGURATION USING WIRELESS ZERO CONFIGURATION TOOLThis section explains the procedure to properly configure the WLAN device using the WZC.
