Testing the Configuration Now that the configuration of both the Xirrus Array and the amigopod appliance is complete, the following steps can be followed to verify the configuration. Step 1 - Connect to the amigopod wireless network Using a test laptop with a compatible 802.11 based wireless card attempt to connect to the advertised amigopod wireless network. The screen capture below shows the interface used on a Windows XP SP2 based laptop. Although the process differs from laptop to laptop depending on the wireless card drivers installed and different operating systems in use, the basic premise of connecting to the unsecured Guest Wireless network should be fundamentally the same. Refer to your laptop manufacturer's documentation on the procedure for connecting to wireless networks if you experience basic connectivity. Note: If the Amigopod wireless network is not visible from the test laptop, double check the configuration of the Xirrus Array and potentially source a second wireless test device to see if the problem is laptop specific.
