3 Configuration Utility

The Configuration Utility is a powerful application that helps you configure the HWU54DMA and

monitor the link status and statistics of your wireless connection.

Each time you insert the Hawking Hi-Gain card the Hawking Wireless Utility should
automatically load. In the case that it doesn’t you may manually load the Utility by
using “FINDER” to view your “APPLICATIONS” folder and selecting the Hawking
Wireless Utility Icon displayed on the left.

When you open the Configuration Utility, the system will scan all wireless channels to find all access

listed. You can change your connection to another network or you may add one of the networks to your

own profile list.
