Connecting via Windows XP

The following sections detail connecting the Adapter to a wireless network on a

available access point appears. To connect to another unsecured access point:

1. Locate the wireless network (double computer) icon corresponding to the

Adapter by moving the cursor over the network icons in the system tray. When

the correct icon is located, a dialog box similar to the one below appears.

2. Once the correct icon is located, right-click on it and, from the menu that

appears, select View Available Wireless Networks.
