Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration
Note for Windows XP users: Windows XP has a built-in configuration tool. Use Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration (in the system tray at the bottom of your screen) to configure the Adapter.
1. After installing the Adapter,
the Windows XP Wireless
Zero Configuration icon
will appear in your computer’s system tray (see Figure
6-3). Double-click the icon.
3. If WEP is enabled, the
screen in Figure 6-5 will
appear. Enter the WEP key
of your wireless network in
the Network key field, and
re-enter it in the Confirm
network key field. Then click
the Connect button, and go
to step 4.
Figure 6-3
Note: Steps 2 and 3 are the instructions and screenshots for Windows
XP with Service Pack 1 installed.
If you have not installed Service Pack 1, select the network you want,
and click the Connect button. If the network has WEP encryption
enabled, enter the WEP key in the Network key field, and then click
the Connect button.
Figure 6-5
Note: Windows XP Wireless Zero Configuration does not support
the use of a passphrase. Enter the exact WEP key used by your access
point.
4. The screen in Figure 6-6 will appear if your connection is active.
2. The screen that appears will show any available wireless network. Select
the network you want.
If this network has WEP
encryption enabled, go to
step 3.
Figure 6-6
If this network does not
have WEP encryption
enabled, then Figure 6-4
will appear. Make sure the
box next to Allow me to
connect to the selected
wireless network, even
though it is not secure is
checked. Then click the
Connect button, and go to
step 4.
For more information about wireless networking on a Windows XP computer,
click Start and then Help and Support. Enter the keyword wireless in the

screen.
4. The Network Mode screen shows a choice of two network modes. Click the
Infrastructure Mode radio button if you want your wireless computers to
communicate with computers on your wired network via a wireless access
point. Click the Ad-Hoc Mode radio button if you want multiple wireless
computers to communicate directly with each other.
Then complete the SSID field. Click the Next button to continue or the
Back button to return to the previous screen.
Figure 7-13
Figure 7-12
Infrastructure Mode - This mode allows wireless and wired networks to
communicate through an access point.
IP Address - This IP Address must be unique to your network.
Subnet Mask - The Adapter’s Subnet Mask must be the same as your wired
network’s Subnet Mask.
Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of your network’s Gateway here.
DNS 1 and DNS 2 - Enter the DNS address of your Ethernet (wired) network here.
26
Ad-Hoc Mode - This mode allows wireless-equipped computers to communicate directly with each other. No access point is used.
SSID - The SSID is the unique name shared by all devices in a wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It
is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in
your wireless network.
27
5. If you chose Infrastructure Mode, then proceed to step 6. If you chose AdHoc Mode, then the Wireless Channels screen will now appear. Select the
channel at which the network broadcasts its wireless signal. Then click the
Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.
Figure 7-15
Figure 7-14
Channel - From the drop-down box, select the appropriate channel that corresponds with your network settings. All devices in your wireless network
must use the same channel in order to communicate.
6. The Security Settings screen will appear (see Figure 7-15). Choose the
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption settings for your wireless network. If you enable WEP, enter a passphrase or WEP key. Then click the
Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.
WEP - If you do not want to use WEP encryption, keep the default setting,
Disable. To use WEP encryption (recommended to increase wireless network security), select 64-bit / 10 hex. characters or 128-bit / 26 hex. characters from the drop-down menu, and enter a passphrase or WEP key.
28
Passphrase - Instead of manually entering a WEP key, you can enter a
passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is case-sensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the passphrase of your other wireless
network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If
you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually
on those products.)
WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. If you are using 64-bit WEP encryption, then the key must
consist of exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. If you are using 128-bit WEP
encryption, then the key must consist of exactly 26 hexadecimal characters.
Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
Tx Key - The default transmit key number is 1. If your network’s access
point or wireless router uses transmit key number 2, 3, or 4, then select the
appropriate number in the Tx Key drop-down box.
