User's Manual

As Windows XP does not allow for the use of the Linksys Passphrase feature
with the wireless PC adapters, you will need to manually enter the key gener-
ated in the previous section.
The following steps will help you enable WEP and enter the encryption key
manually for your wireless PC cards, in order to enable your Windows XP sys-
tem to communicate with the Router wirelessly.
These steps assume that your CD-ROM drive is letter D and that you are run-
ning Windows XP in the default mode.
Be sure you have the WEP Key generated by the Router.
