HP Presario X1000 Compaq Notebook Series - Setting Up Wireless Devices

Setting Up Wireless Devices

Your notebook model may have a Bluetooth device, an Intel PRO/Wireless

2100 LAN, both devices, or neither device.

To determine which the wireless LAN devices are preinstalled on your

notebook, use either of the following methods:

■

Look for a wireless device logo label on the keyboard area of

your notebook. For example, an Intel Centrino label indicates

that your notebook contains an Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 device.

■

Display the names of any preinstalled wireless LAN devices in

Device Manager: Select Start > My Computer. Right-click on the

My Computer window, then select Properties > Hardware tab >

Device Manager > Network Adapters.

Setting Up a Bluetooth Device

To set up a Bluetooth device, install the Bluetooth software preloaded on

your notebook: select Start > All Programs > Software Setup. Select the

Bluetooth software, then follow the set up instructions on the screen.

For more configuration information and instructions, refer on

the

Documentation Library—Bluetooth

CD included with your notebook

to the

Bluetooth Getting Started

guide and to the

Bluetooth User’s Guide.

Setting Up an Intel Device

To set up an Intel WLAN device, you may use the Intel ProSet software

preloaded on your notebook or the default Windows XP wireless network

connection utility. For optimal functionality, use the Intel ProSet software

and read the Caution at the end of this section.

■

To set up an Intel WLAN device using the default Windows XP

wireless network connection utility, follow the online instructions

in your operating system documentation.

■

To install the Intel ProSet software, select Start > All Programs >

Software Setup. Select the Intel ProSet software, then follow the

setup instructions on the screen.
