Introduction & Form Factors Introduction The Wireless LAN Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you to configure USI MP-B-IP-00 WLAN Mini-PCI card and monitor the statistics of the communication status. Unlike the standard method of configuring the card via the operating system utilities, this application permits the dynamic modification of the configuration parameters while the card is operating. It also offers more configuration options.

You may press the “Rescan” button dynamically in order to update this list and double-clicking at the one on the list once you want to associate with it.
There’s 3 property pages in the Configuration property sheet, which includes General, Encryption, and Advanced General In this page, user can configure the station card with its Network type (Infrastructure/Ad hoc), SSID (up to 32 characters), channel (only in Ad hoc mode, and its range is according to the regulatory domain setting in the EEPROM), and the Desire Tx Rate (Automatic/ 1 Mbps/1 Mbps/ 2 Mbps/ 5.5 Mbps/ 11 Mbps) Figure 1-3.
Statistics This option enables you to view the available statistic information with its Tx counts (Tx success, Tx error), Tx Throughput, and its Rx counts (Rx success, Rx error), Rx Throughput. You may reset the counters by pressing its RESET button. Figure 1-6. Statistics page About By choosing this option, you can view basic information about the Utility such as the Driver and Utility Version.
