SAFETY GUIDELINES

For the protection of equipment users and connected devices, follow these safety

guidelines:

1. This adapter is designed for indoor use only; do not place this adapter outdoors.

2. Do not place or use this adapter in excessively hot or humid environments.

3. Do not yank any connected cables.

4. Firmly secure this device if it’s placed at any signicant height to prevent

damage or injury should it fall.

5. Keep this device out of the reach of children.

6. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the adapter. If the adapter is not

working properly, contact your dealer (place of purchase) and ask for help. Do

not disassemble the adapter, as doing so will void the warranty.

INSTALLATION

1. With the computer on, gently insert the adapter into a USB 2.0 port.

2. The Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard screen will display

automatically. Click “Cancel” to continue.

3. Insert the included setup CD and run the “Setup.exe” program. Read the

license agreement that displays; select “I accept the terms of the license

agreement” and click “Next” to continue.

4. On the Setup Type screen, select “Install driver and Manhattan WLAN

Utility.” Select “Install driver only” if you prefer to use the Windows integrated

WLAN function. Click “Next.”

INSTALLATION

5. In Windows XP, a “Microsoft Zero Conguration Tool” option displays. It’s

recommended that the alternative “Manhattan Conguration Tool” option be

selected, as it features more functions. Click “Next.”

6. Once the software installation is complete, select “Yes, I want to restart my

computer.”

CONFIGURATION

The conguration utility — which displays automatically once the adapter is

connected — is a useful utility that helps you congure the adapter and monitor

link status and statistics during the communication process. This adapter will auto-

connect to the wireless device

that has the best signal strength

and no wireless security setting.

The conguration utility icon appears in the Windows systems tray while the

adapter is running. You can open it by double-clicking on the icon.

NOTE: On some systems, the icon may only

be visible when you view hidden icons:

Right-clicking the icon reveals several

choices (which may vary depending on the

operating system used):

CONFIGURATION

Launch Cong Utility

This starts the conguration utility. It performs the same function as double-

clicking the icon.

Switch to Client + AP Mode

In this mode, the Manhattan Wireless 450N Dual-Band USB Adapter acts as

both a wireless network adapter for your computer and an access point for other

wireless devices to connect to the network. In most cases, this function is not

needed and should not be activated.

Switch to AP Mode

In this mode, the wireless USB adapter acts as an access point for other wireless

devices to connect to the network, but it does not function as a regular wireless

network adapter. In most cases, this function is not needed and should not be

activated.

Windows Zero Conguration Tool (not shown)

In Windows XP, there is a Windows Zero Conguration Tool (WZC) option for

setting up wireless clients. When it’s selected, you will not use the Manhattan

WLAN conguration utility to connect to any wireless network. Instead, you

will use the Windows integrated so-called “Zero Cong” function. If you are

experienced in the use of the Windows Zero conguration function, you can use it

instead of the

Manhattan WLAN conguration utility. Unless you plan on using the AP mode

function of the WLAN adapter, there are no disadvantages to using Windows Zero

conguration over the Manhattan WLAN conguration utility. (This user manual

only includes instructions for the Manhattan WLAN conguration utility, however.)

Manhattan WLAN Utility Main Screen

CONFIGURATION

After you launch the utility, you’ll be

presented with the main screen. The

screen provides you with information

about your current wireless connection, such as the name (SSID) of the network the

computer is connected to, the current data rate and the computer’s IP address.

It also provides links to the various functions that the utility provides.

Wi-Fi Direct

Wi-Fi Direct is a standard that allows Wi-Fi devices to connect to each other

with no need for a wireless access point. It is similar to the older Ad-Hoc mode,

but it is easier to set up and provides more functionality. Refer to the detailed Wi-Fi

Direct section (Page 20) for details on how to use it.

Available Networks

Click this button to have the Manhattan wireless adapter scan for and display

a list of all wireless networks in range. Double-click an entry on that list to

establish a connection to that network. Read more in the Connecting to a Wireless

Network section (Page 10).

Link Information

Click for detailed information about the current wireless connection, which

some might even nd interesting.

Prole List

Whenever you establish a connection to a Wireless network, you can add

the connection to your prole list, enabling you to later quickly join the network

without having to provide the security credentials again. Read more on this in the

Prole List section (Page 11).

Advanced

Access to advanced settings is possible via this function. It is not needed

under normal circumstances to make any changes here. See the Advanced

Settings section (Page 18) for details.

About

This screen displays information about the software version of the WLAN

utility.

CONFIGURATION

Connecting to a Wireless Network

Click on the Available Networks button

for a list of available wireless networks.

Locate your wireless network in the list, and double-click it. In case the wireless

network is protected by a security key, a screen will show up asking you to conrm

the wireless settings. The example below uses WPA2-PSK authentication and

AES encryption. If you do not know what this means, or if you do not know which

values your wireless network uses, don’t worry: The utility detects the settings

automatically for you, and under normal circumstances there is no need to make

any changes. Simply click on the circled right arrow — and don’t waste your time

wondering why this screen is even here.

The next step is to enter the actual password of the wireless network. This is often

referred to as the passphrase. It is important not to confuse this with the WPS

PIN code, which is explained later in this manual. You need to type in the correct

password and click on the right arrow to connect to the wireless network.
