wish to use the Hawking Configuration Utility (more detailed with extra features
and tools) then follow the next step to select Hawking’s Configuration Utility:
A. Double-click the utility icon in the system tray.
B. Click “Yes” to use the utility of the USB adapter.
Position the USB Adapter so it is the front end is pointed towards your wireless access point. The
HWU54D adapter has a Hi-Gain Directional Antenna that concentrates your wireless signal into an
80 degree output radius for a stronger connection resulting in longer distances and better
performance. Adjust the orientation of the Adapter until you have the best possible signal.

Network. If your network does not appear in this window please click Refresh. If it still
Does not appear please check to see that your wireless network is set up correctly.
Displays detailed information on the network the USB Adapter is currently connected to.

of your Adapter until you find the strongest signal.
ADVANCED SETTINGS / SETTING UP SECURITY
(For more advanced wireless users, please see manual if you are unfamiliar with advanced
wireless settings or setting up security):
To adjust advanced settings such as, channel selection, manual SSID input and enabling /
disabling wireless security, please select the More Settings tab. The HWU54D is compatible with
the latest wireless security standards. Please see your network administrator to find out which type
of security your network is using and which keys to input.
ACCESS POINT MODE:
The HWU54G has a very unique feature that allows it to function as a wireless access point to
provide wireless access to nearby wireless adapters. To enable this feature, change the Mode of
the adapter to Access Point from the drop down menu on the top right corner of the Configuration
Utility. If you are interested in using this feature please refer to the User’s Manual for more detailed
instructions and explanations.
Thank you for choosing Hawking Technologies.
