The RangeLAN2 792x Ethernet Adapter was designed to be a
“plug and play” product. External rotary switches allow you to
configure your Ethernet Adapter manually. In many cases, you
will not even need to run any software to configure it. However,
if you need to change the software parameters, you will find the
configuration tool easy to use. In no time, you will have a
wireless connection to your network’s application software,
printing, e-mail, and other network services!
