PART 2. Using Windows XP Configuration Utility

Windows XP operating system includes Wireless Network Connection utility for wireless

configuration and monitoring. You can choose to configure your wireless network via either

the PRISM Wireless Settings utility as described in preceding section, or Windows XP-

included wireless utility. This section only provides the essential instructions on using

Windows XP wireless utility to get your wireless network established. For more information

please refer to Windows XP on-line help.

Notice that only one configuration method can be used and Window XP utility is the default

configuration tool. In this situation, when you open the PRISM Wireless Settings utility, only

Status and About tabs are available.

If you are going to use the PRISM Wireless Settings utility, you should disable Windows XP

wireless utility as follows:

Double-click the wireless icon on system tray and click Advanced button. On the Wireless

Networks tab, uncheck the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings box

and click OK. This will restore your PRISM Wireless Settings utility with configuration tabs.
