Setting up the PC

For this section, refer to the instructions supplied by the
manufacturer of the WLAN USB key to help you to find
and join the "house" network.

1 You may need to install the software for the WLAN

USB key on the PC, if this has not already been
done.

2 Plug WLAN USB key into a USB port on the PC.
3 Use the software of the WLAN USB key to detect

the network.

4 Join the network "house" once this has been

detected.

5 Now set up the WLAN network connection of your

PC.

To do this, you must configure the element
Protocol Internet (TCP/IP)
for the WLAN
connection that has been created. If this element is
set up in such a way as to obtain an IP address
automatically, you must change it to manual mode
to set up the TCP/IP address ("169.254.0.1" in our
example), the subnet mask ("255.255.0.0" in our
example) and the default gateway ("0.0.0.0" in our
example).

6 Enter OK.

To guide you through this stage, refer to the
paragraph “Setting the parameters for a
connection” in the manufacturer’s instructions.
