WLAN Card Configuration via Serial Mode
The WLAN card must be configured via a serial connection before it can communicate with your network. After
initial serial configuration, more detailed configuration can be performed using the Windows-based DeviceInstaller
program included on the CD. Initial configuration is performed using a PC connected via a serial cable to the J2
connector on the card (see Table 1) and a terminal program (e.g., HyperTerminal, Procomm, Putty).
