Currently SecureW2 Client runs on the following (minimal) set-ups:
- Windows XP (Service Pack 1 recommended)
- Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4
If you are using the SecureW2 Client for WIRELESS 802.1X authentication
please make sure your Wireless Ethernet card is 802.1X compatible.
NOTE: You must use Windows Wireless Zero Config and not your adapters
own connection manager. To make sure check that you have started the
“Wireless Zero Config” service and set the startup-type to
“Automatic”
The installation is then as follows:
- Unzip the securew_xxx.zip file to a temporary directory.
- Double click on the setup.exe file.
- Follow the online instructions.
- After the installation is complete, reboot the computer as
instructed by the set-up.
- To configure the SecureW2 Client please refer to the SecureW2
Users Guide.
Configuration
The SecureW2 Client v3.x module can be used for wired and wireless
connections. The following section shows how to configure your wireless
network adapter for 802.1X. For wired connections you can skip this
section and continue with the section Configuring 802.1X for SecureW2.

“Network Connections” folder. Right-Click on your wireless
adapter and select “Properties”.

Make sure the
“Show icon in notification area when connected” is selected.
In Windows XP you must use the Windows XP wireless client to configure
your wireless network adapter. In Windows 2000 you must use the client
software provided with your wireless Ethernet card, as there is no
standard wireless client. Please refer to the manual for your wireless
network adapter for more information on how to configure for 802.1X.
The following steps show how to configure your adapter using the
Windows wireless client in XP. Windows 2000 users can skip this
section.
Using
WindowsXP to configure your wireless adapter
Select the “Wireless Networks” tab.
||||SCREENSHOT||||
Make sure the “Use Windows to configure my wireless
network settings” is selected.
The “Available networks” box shows the available access
points. Select the one you wish to connect to and click on
“Configure”.
You are now presented with the “Wireless Network
properties” window.

Here you can configure the basic wireless setting for your
adapter. If you wish to use 802.1x you must configure the adapter to
use Data encryption (WEP). To do this select “Data encryption
(WEP enabled)” and “The key is provided for me
automatically”.
When configured, the access-point will appear in the “Preferred
networks” box as shown in the Wireless Networks tab.
SecureW2 Client
NOTE: Only users with Administrators privileges on the local
computer can configure the SecureW2 Client properties.
To use the SecureW2 Client you must enable 802.1x for the
wired/wireless adapter. To enable 802.1x select the
“Authentication” tab in the “Wireless
properties” window, see the Wireless properties window.
NOTE: The location of the "Authentication" tab can differ between
different versions of Windows. In Windows XP and Windows 2000 the
"Authentication" tab is located in the "Wireless properties" window,
see the Wireless properties window. In Windows XP Service Pack 1 the
"Authentication" tab is located in the "Wireless Network" window, see
the Wireless Network Properties window.
