Configuration
The Wireless Adapter can be configured by Wireless Client Utility (WCU). This chapter describes how to
configure your Wireless Adapter for wireless connectivity on your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
and use the data security encryption features.
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter’s tray icon will appear in your system tray. It appears at
the bottom of the screen, and shows the signal strength using color and the received signal strength
indication (RSSI).
If the icon is gray, there is no connection.
If the icon is red, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is less than 5dB.
If the icon is yellow, there is poor signal strength and the RSSI is between 5dB and 10dB.
If the icon is green, there is good signal strength and the RSSI is between 10dB and 20dB.
If the icon is green, there is excellent signal strength and the RSSI is more than 20dB.
Double-click the icon and the WCU utility will run. You can also run the utility by clicking the
Start>Program>Wireless>Wireless Client Utility. The WCU utility provides a complete and easy to
use set of tools to:
 Display current status information
 Edit and add configuration profiles
 Display current diagnostics information
The section below introduces these above capabilities.
