About the MA521 SysTray Application

The SysTray (System Tray) resides on one end of the taskbar in the Microsoft Windows

Desktop. It displays interface icons for memory-resident applications that execute continuously

in the background, such as the clock, speaker volume, and virus detection.

Once you have completed the utility installation, the Windows SysTray will show the icon in

different colors, as described here:

Double-click the Wireless Adapter SysTray icon to activate the wireless Configuration Utility

for the MA521 Wireless PC Card. You can click any of the folder tabs in the NETGEAR

MA521 Wireless Configuration Utility dialog box to view the current status or modify

operational parameters.

For detailed information on wireless networking, refer to Wireless Network Fundamentals, on

page 16.

The MA521 Configuration Utility contains six sections:
