Configuring the Lucent Orinoco Gold/Silver

Creating a Connection Profile
The Lucent Orinoco 802.11b card requires you to select a profile to connect to a wireless network, so you will need to create a profile to use the iPass broadband service. The Orinoco software is only required when using Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT and ME.

To create a profile for connecting:

  1. On the desktop, right-click the Orinoco icon in your system tray
  2. Left click "Configuration Profile", then left click "Add/Edit Profile"
  3. In the "Add/Edit Configuration Profile" window, in the left column, select the radio button next to an empty field.
  4. In the empty field in the left column, type "iPass"
  5. In the right column, select "Access Gateway" from the drop-down list
  6. Click "OK"

Disabling WEP
Currently, all iPass Wireless Broadband Access Points require that WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) be disabled.

To disable WEP for the Orinoco card:

  1. Make sure the Orinoco card is inserted in your laptop and is active
  2. Right-click the Orinoco icon in the system tray
  3. Left click "Configuration Profile"
  4. Left click "Add/Edit Configuration Profile"
  5. Select the iPass profile and click "Edit Profile"
  6. On the "Edit Profile [iPass]" window, click the "Basic" tab, and in "Network Name", enter an appropriate network name
  7. On the Encryption tab, ensure that "Enable Data Security" is not checked
  8. Click "OK"

Identifying an SSID
A few iPass Wireless Access Points require that a specific SSID (Service Set Identifier) be identified in the 802.11b card software. If an SSID is required, the iPassConnect client will inform you of the new SSID.

To change the SSID for the Orinoco card:

  1. Make sure the Orinoco card is inserted in your laptop and is active
  2. Right-click the Orinoco icon in the system tray
  3. Left click "Configuration Profile"
  4. Left click "Add/Edit Configuration Profile"
  5. Select the iPass profile and click "Edit Profile"
  6. On the "Edit Profile [iPass]" window, click the "Basic" tab
  7. In "Network Name", enter the new SSID
  8. Click "OK"
