support for other Operating Systems may be downloaded from the Ralink Support website

www.ralink.com.tw

. These drivers have not been tested and are not supported by

Netopia.

Start the Netopia 3D REACH Utility

When you start the Netopia 3D REACH Utility and select “Use Netopia 3D REACH as Con-

ﬁguration utility” for the ﬁrst time, the system will connect to the Access Point with best

signal strength and matching security setting. When you start the Netopia 3D REACH Util-

ity, it will issue a scan command to the wireless adapter. After two seconds, the list will be

updated with the results of the BSS list scan. The list includes the most commonly-used

ﬁelds, such as SSID, signal percentage, current channel, encryption status, authentication

mode, and network type. The green handshake icon indicates the connected BSS or IBSS

network, as shown in ﬁgure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 First page shown when starting the Netopia 3D REACH Utility

While the Netopia 3D REACH Utility is running, there is also a small Netopia 3D REACH Util-

ity icon appearing within the Windows taskbar as shown in ﬁgure 2-2. You can double click

it to display the main menu, if you chose to close the Netopia 3D REACH Utility menu ear-

lier. You can also right-click on it and select the option Exit to exit the Netopia 3D REACH

Start the Netopia 3D REACH Utility

[Windows XP users only, Note:]

When the Netopia 3D REACH Utility exits from the system,

it will restore WZC to its initial state before starting Netopia 3D REACH Utility, for example,

if WZC is stopped before the Netopia 3D REACH Utility started. WZC will stay stopped after

the Netopia 3D REACH Utility terminated. If WZC is running before the Netopia 3D REACH

Utility is started, it will be re-enabled after the Netopia 3D REACH Utility exited.
