Wireless adapter configuration
Introduction
After your 802.11b wireless adapter is installed in your computer, you must configure it to communicate
with the HomePortal. This guide describes how to configure the following wireless Ethernet (IEEE
802.11b) adapters to operate with the HomePortal:
• Agere (ORiNOCO PC Card Silver or Gold)
• Cisco (Aironet 340 Series 11Mbps Wireless LAN Adapter)
• D-Link Air DWL-650
• Apple AirPort card
• Other third-party wireless Ethernet cards
Note: The instructions for Agere, Cisco, and D-Link cards are for computers running Windows 98. The
instructions for the Apple card are for computers running MacOS 9.0. Because not all Windows and
Macintosh versions respond to new hardware in the same way, screens may appear in a different order and
may have a slightly different appearance than the screens shown in these instructions.
Locate the serial number and wireless encryption key
Your HomePortal is configured with unique security parameters that must be configured into your wireless
adapter.
On the bottom of your HomePortal you will find two important pieces of information required for
configuring your adapter: the serial number and the wireless encryption key.
After you have located the serial number and wireless encryption key, perform the following steps to
configure your wireless adapter.
