This kit facilitates simple access to a Liberty-i
public WLAN network. Primarily it is intended for
use for Liberty-i networks, however you may use
the same kit to access other operator networks.
In the event that you do you will have to alter
the settings in the software to suit that network
e.g. the SSID or network identity name. |

The Liberty-i CD software installer for the WLAN
card is largely intuitive and does the majority
of the hard work for you in getting you ready to
connect to the Internet via the Liberty-izone in
the building or campus you are located. Once it
has completed loading, it will automatically invoke
your Internet Browser (Internet Explorer). The software
is completely safe to load. The following instructions
