Installing the Driver and Client Utility

For Mac OS X, follow the instructions in the Initial Configuration Settings for Mac OS X section.

Initial Configuration Settings for Mac OS X

When your Macintosh completes the power-up process following a successful install, the client adapter

setup assistant activates. The setup assistant guides you through the initial configuration options of your

client adapter or it allows you to manually select the screens by clicking the configuration tabs. Each

screen contain descriptive information to assist you in configuring your client adapter.

Note You can click underlined words or blue colored words on the setup assistant screens to obtain

additional descriptive information. You can also click the Back button to return to a previous screen.

Follow the steps below to complete the initial configuration settings for your wireless system:

Step 1 If the Introduction screen is not visible, click the Introduction tab. Read the screen information and

click Start to continue to the Client Name screen.

Note Click the Done button (on any screen) to exit the setup assistant and to manually configure

your client adapter using the client utility.

Step 2 Read the Client Name screen information and enter the client name (case-sensitive) for your client

adapter. Click Next to continue to the Network Name screen.

Step 3 Read the Network Name screen information and enter the Network Name or SSID (case-sensitive) for

your wireless network. Click Next to continue to the Network Type screen.

Step 4 Read the Network Type screen information. Click the up and down arrows next to the Network Type field

and perform one of the following operations:

• If your computer connects to an access point, select Computer to Access Point in the dialog box.

Click Next to continue to the Power screen.

• If your computer connects to another computer in a peer-to-peer (ad hoc) network, select Computer

to Computer in the dialog box. Click the up and down arrows next to the Channel field and select

the operating frequency channel for the computers on your network. Click Next to continue to the

Power screen.

Step 5 On the Power screen, read the power mode information, click the up and down arrows next to the Power

Mode field and select one of the following modes in the dialog box:

a. Constant Awake Mode—provides the least power savings because your client adapter is always

powered on. This is the typical setting for desktop systems with AC power.

b. Power Save Mode—provides some power savings because your client adapter is occasionally turned

off. This setting is typically used for battery powered systems that need quicker response and have

sufficient battery capacity to support higher usage.

c. Maximum Power Save Mode—provides the greatest power savings because your client adapter is

only occasionally turned on to receive and send data. This setting is typically used for battery

powered systems that have limited battery capacity and can tolerate delayed transmissions.
