Finding a Network

During the WG511v2 software installation, the Smart Wizard lists the available networks. After

installation you can use the Find a Network button on the Network tab at any time to view the

available networks and select the one that you want to use.

Follow the steps below to Find a Network.

The Smart Wizard initiates your wireless connection. You can use the Status Bar to verify your

network connection. For more information, see “The Smart Wizard Status Bar” on page -9.

Note: Make sure that you know the security settings for the network that you want to use.

For example, if WEP is used then you need to know the WEP key. If you use

secure networks frequently, set up profiles for each network with the wireless

network and security settings.

1. Use the icon to open the

Smart Wizard.

The Settings tab page opens.

2. On the Networks tab page,

click Find a Network.

3. Select a network from the drop

down list. If you select a hidden

network then you must enter

the SSID. Click Next.

4. Follow the steps of the wizard

to specify the wireless security

if used, and to create a profile.

5. Review you settings, and click

Finish.
