Implementing SecureW2 for Using the Wireless Networks
DESY and eduroam
Introduction
This short reference guide describes which settings are needed to implement the pre-configured
SecureW2 client. This tool is pre-configured for the “DESY” and “eduroam” WLAN, and it is
available for download at www-it.desy.de → Services → Networks → WLAN → WLAN-
Instruction. It should normally be sufficient to run the installation. The necessary network
configuration will be done automatically.
Install SecureW2
Note:
Please make sure at the beginning that your Wireless network card is enabled. The
procedure for this is different for each device. Support on this topic can be taken
from the manual of your notebook.
Windows must be activated for the WLAN management and for the automatic WLAN
configuration. If you have not installed any other WLAN-Client, this configuration is done
automatically as soon as the WLAN card is enabled. If there exists an active WLAN client on your
device it has to be deactivated. The WLAN management in Windows will then be activated
automatically.
After downloading the file „SecureW2_for_DESY_and_eduroam.exe“, the installation will be started
with a doubleclick. Complete the following step to choose your language and confirm with „OK“.

Click on „Next“ if the assistent for the set-up routine window pops-up.
Confirm the terms of licence GNU General Public License, with „I Agree“.

Leave the choice of components as default and start the installation by clicking „Install“.
In the registration mask that now opens indicate your DESY user name and the assigned WLAN
password. Confirm the settings with „OK“.

To complete the installation click on „Finish“. The computer has to be rebooted.
Connecting to the WLAN
After the SecureW2 Client had been installed and the computer was rebooted, the connection will
be established automatically, if the WLAN card is enabled and provided that you are within reach of
the WLAN.
Note: If the connection should not be established automatically, we recommend to read
the documentation „Windows XP unter Verwendung von SecureW2 für die Nutzung
der Drahtlosnetzwerke DESY und eduroam einrichten“ and to check the network
settings. During the installation old devices or old drivers could also cause
misconfiguration.
