Adding Network Adapters 27
Chapter 4
Managing Network Adapters
This chapter describes how to add or remove a wired or wireless network adapter
in an OAC configuration and how to connect to a network using that adapter.
You can set up one or more network adapters by opening the Configuration folder
in the OAC Manager sidebar and selecting Adapters. The adapter must be installed
on your computer before you can configure it in OAC. To select more than one
adapter at a time, hold down Ctrl on the keyboard and select the entries using your
mouse. At the top of the sidebar, the Adapters folder shows all of the network
adapters configured currently in OAC.
Adding Network Adapters
When you add an adapter to the OAC configuration, OAC has control of that
adapter as long as it is still configured in OAC. This means that you cannot use
other software to connect to a network with that adapter unless you remove the
adapter from the OAC configuration. See “Removing an Adapter” on page 28.
You can configure an external wireless adapter in addition to the built-in adapters
on your machine and, thus, have multiple wireless adapters configured at the same
time. You can use each adapter to connect to the same or to different networks. See
“Configuring Multiple Simultaneous Network Connections” on page 31.
To add a network adapter:
1. Install or insert the network adapter card in your computer. If you are using a
laptop computer, most current models have wired and wireless network
adapters built in.
2. Open the Configuration folder in the sidebar on the left and click Adapters.
3. Click Add. The Add Adapter dialog appears. Note that only adapters that you
have not yet added to the Adapters dialog appear in the display.
4. Select the adapter to be added from the list and click OK.
NOTE: If you do not see your wireless adapter in the list, select All Adapters. Make
sure that each of the adapters that you select under the Wireless tab is wireless.
You cannot configure OAC for wireless connections unless you have a wireless
adapter.
