CONFIGURATION

Launch Cong Utility

This starts the conguration utility. It performs the same function as double-

clicking the icon.

Switch to Client + AP Mode

In this mode, the Manhattan Wireless 450N Dual-Band USB Adapter acts as

both a wireless network adapter for your computer and an access point for other

wireless devices to connect to the network. In most cases, this function is not

needed and should not be activated.

Switch to AP Mode

In this mode, the wireless USB adapter acts as an access point for other wireless

devices to connect to the network, but it does not function as a regular wireless

network adapter. In most cases, this function is not needed and should not be

activated.

Windows Zero Conguration Tool (not shown)

In Windows XP, there is a Windows Zero Conguration Tool (WZC) option for

setting up wireless clients. When it’s selected, you will not use the Manhattan

WLAN conguration utility to connect to any wireless network. Instead, you

will use the Windows integrated so-called “Zero Cong” function. If you are

experienced in the use of the Windows Zero conguration function, you can use it

instead of the

Manhattan WLAN conguration utility. Unless you plan on using the AP mode

function of the WLAN adapter, there are no disadvantages to using Windows Zero

conguration over the Manhattan WLAN conguration utility. (This user manual

only includes instructions for the Manhattan WLAN conguration utility, however.)
