Chapter 1 Getting Started

In case you prefer to set up a small independent wireless workgroup without an AP, use the 
Ad-Hoc mode.

Ad-hoc mode does not require an AP or a wired network. Two or more wireless clients 
communicate directly to each other. 

Figure 2   Application: Ad-Hoc 

Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install the ZyXEL Utility and make 
hardware connections.

To configure your ZyXEL G-260, use one of the following applications:

• Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) (recommended for Windows XP)
• ZyXEL Utility 
• Odyssey Client Manager (not supplied) 

Note: Do NOT use the Windows XP configuration tool or the Odyssey Client Manager 

and the ZyXEL Utility at the same time.

Refer to the Odyssey Client Manager documentation for more information.

You must disable WZC if you want to use the ZyXEL utility. Refer to the appendices on how 
to deactivate WZC or how to use WZC to manage the ZyXEL G-260.

Note: When you use the ZyXEL Utility, it automatically disables the Windows XP 

wireless configuration tool.
