 Double-clicking on the D-Link AirPro Configuration Utility in the task

tray will open the main configuation utility. This utility can be used to

verify that your DWL-AB650 Cardbus Adapter is working properly, and

it can be used to change any of the configuation settings for you Cardbus

Card.

 When a valid connection is made between your Cardbus Adapter and the

selected AP, a small blue circle appears at the top of the icon to the left of

the SSID (name) of the selected AP under the heading Preferred WLANs.

This indicates that a valid connection (link) has been established between

the selected AP and your Cardbus Adapter.

 Note that in the above example, WEP is disabled on both the selected AP

and on the Cardbus Adapter (there is no encryption of the data transferred

between the AP and the Cardbus Adapter). WEP settings can be entered

here, or later, using the configuration utility. For an explanation of WEP

settings, see the section, Connecting to the Wireless Network below.

 Configuring WEP as disabled is the easiest way to connect to an AP and

gain access to network resources, but is not secure. For WEP to work, all

of the WEP settings must be exactly the same on the AP as they are on

the Cardbus Adapter.

 You have completed the installation of the DWL-AB650.
