User's Manual

● Select a Device to Device (ad hoc) network in the Wireless Networks list. Click
Connect. The Intel PROSet/Wireless software automatically detects the security
settings for the wireless adapter.
NOTE: Device to Device (ad hoc) networks are identified with a notebook image ( ) in
the Wireless Networks and Profiles list.
❍ Authentication:
■ If no authentication is required, the network connects without a prompt to
enter any log-on credentials. Any wireless device with the correct network
name (SSID) is able to associate with the network devices.
■ If Data Encryption is required, select WEP. You are asked to select either a 64-
bit or 128-bit encryption level Security Password (Encryption Key) and a Key
Index. These values must match the various devices in your ad hoc network, or
data is not transferred.
NOTE: If you need to edit or change the wireless network settings, refer to Profile
Management for more information.
To create a profile for a wireless network connection with no encryption:
1. Click Profiles on the Intel PROSet/Wireless main window.
2. On the Profile page, click Add to open the Create Wireless Profile General Settings.
