300Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter – APPPCI300

Chapter 3. Configuration Guide

APPPCI300 can be configured by APPPCI300 Wireless N Client Utility (AWCU) in Windows®
XP & 2000. This chapter describes how to configure your Adapter for wireless connectivity on
your Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and use the data security encryption features.
The configuration of the adapter in Windows® XP is similar with that of Windows® 2000. This
User Guide takes Windows® XP for example.
After Installing the Adapter, the Adapter's tray icon
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 AWCU will run. You can also run the utility by clicking the Start→
Program → Approx → APPPCI300 Wireless N Client Utility. The AWCU provides some
integrated and easy tools to:
Display current status information
