Configuring the Wireless Network
This chapter provides the procedures to configure the wireless device parameters. Before
performing these procedures, you need to install the wireless network tools as described in
Chapter 4.
• To install the drivers and utilities on the clients, refer to the RoamAbout 802.11 PC
Card Drivers and Utilities Setup and Installation Guide.
• If you are configuring a wireless infrastructure network, configure the APs first. Many
of the wireless client parameters are based on the AP settings.
• For infrastructure and ad-hoc networks, document the common settings for any clients
that join the network at a future date.
