4. Connect to Wireless Access Point 1. After installation is complete, an “Atheros Wireless Network Connection Manager Utility” shortcut will show on the desktop. You can double click it to start the “Atheros Wireless Network Connection Manager”. 2. When “Atheros Wireless Network Connection Manager” appears, please double click the item which you want to start “AWiC”.

4. You could follow the steps to connect to the AP which you want to connect. a. Click the “Browse nearby wireless networks” icon to see the site survey table.
PAGE 16
b. You could choose one of the APs in the list to connect; on this sample, we will connect to the AP called “1591” with WPA2-PSK/AES Security/Encryption type, we just need to double click on the AP named “1591”, and the “create new profile” window will appear automatically. c. Click the “Advanced security setting” icon to modify the Security/Encryption type manually in the “Wireless Network Properties” window, and then enter the “Network security key”.
PAGE 17
d. Click "OK" to save the profile, and then click “Connect” to connect to the AP you choose. You will see your profile shows in the AWiC, and there showns the module has “connected” to AP. Be careful, if the “Network security key” was entered incorrect, you won’t be able to exchange any data frames, even though the AP can be connected.
