8.1.2. Hosted network on Windows 7
The hosted network feature of Windows 7 creates a software-based wireless access point (AP)
(sometimes referred to as a SoftAP) that uses a designated virtual wireless adapter. This allows the
Windows 7 PC to create a wireless network that other devices can connect to.
We have prepared some scripts that will handle all the setup work – you will find the scripts in the
Extras\LAN_HostedNetwork folder of your SIRIUS® installation USB stick. The folder contains 3 script
files – you just need to start the script ApplyHostedNetwork.bat as Administrator: See image below “Run
as administrator”. First, hold down the SHIFT key and right-click the script ApplyHostedNetwork.bat.
Then select Run as administrator from the pop-up menu.
Run as administrator
1. Read the notes and press any key to continue
2. Enter the SSID of the hosted network: you will see the SSID in the list of available networks on
your tablet
3. Enter a password to access the network.
For this demonstration we use a simple password – you should use a more secure one (maybe with
Caps, numbers and even special characters) When the script is done, everything is correctly configured
and set-up, you should already see our SBOX network in the Network list of the SBOX (See image below
“Script”).
Script
During the execution the script StartHostedNetwork.bat has been copied to the Startup folder of all
Windows users (See image below “Network”) so when you restart your PC and log on for the next time,
