You should not have to do anything further to connect to a network. To manually connect to a wireless network, see the steps below. Open the Utility by double-clicking the system tray icon ( ) or the desktop shortcut. All networks in your area will be displayed in the "Available Networks" window. Select the network that you want to connect to by clicking the name (under the SSID column) of the network. Once you have selected the network, click the "Connect" button. Note: If the network that you are attempting to connect to is using encryption, you will be prompted to enter the network key. If you don't know the key, you will need to obtain it from the system administrator. Also, see the section of this manual called "Creating and Using a Profile" for advanced encryption setup options. The name of the network will appear in the "Connected to" window and the Signal Strength indicator will show the network's signal strength. Your computer is now connected to the wireless network. 13 THE BELKIN WIRELESS NETWORK MONITOR UTILITY Using the Quick Connect Screen The Utility was designed to offer you two methods of connecting to a wireless network. The Card ships with the Utility configured so you use Configuration view to select wireless networks. A second option allows you to choose to have the Utility open to the Quick Connect screen. The Quick Connect screen (pictured below) is a simplified window that shows you the names of the available networks only, excluding other information like signal strength, MAC address, network type, channel, etc. Available Networks Displays the available networks and their settings. Network Name This is the name of the wireless network. Connect Button Select a network from the Available Networks window and click to connect to the network. From the factory, Belkin has also created one profile called "Default". This is a special profile that will connect to the first wireless network that the Card detects.
