(Figure 5-3) The Wireless On/Off switch has no effect on non-Wireless LAN models. Wireless LAN On/Off Switch Figure 5-3. Wireless LAN On/Off Switch Location Deactivation using Atheros Client Utility software 1. Choose Action and click Disable Radio. 2. ACTIVATING THE WLAN DEVICE Activation of the WLAN device can be accomplished using the same methods as the deactivation process Using the Wireless On/Off Switch In Windows using the Atheros software 56 W I r e l e s s L A N U s e r 's G u i d e Configuration of the WLAN Device The WLAN Device can be configured to establish wireless network connectivity using the Atheros Client Utility. The Atheros Client Utility software allows for multiple profile setups and supports automatic profile switching. Support for most industry standard security solutions is contained in this software. If this is your first time using this utility, highlight the profile [Default] and Click the [Modify] button, otherwise Click the [New] button. From the General page, enter a profile name in the Profile Name field. If you wish to create a profile that can connect to up to 3 different wireless networks, SSID's can be entered in the SSID2 and SSID3 fields as well. The Security tab allows for the configuration of the Security modes listed in the table below.
