Windows Connect Now

   Also found in: Acronyms 0.04 sec.

Software from Microsoft that is used to propagate configuration and security settings from a wireless access point to the wireless clients. Running under Windows XP, Service Pack 2, the settings are written to a USB flash drive, which is manually transported and plugged into client devices such as laptops and printers for the exchange. Windows Connect Now (WCN) is designed to work with non-WCN access points; however, access points that support WCN and have a USB port enable a more automatic operation.

Transfer Via USB
Windows Connect Now uses a USB flash drive such as this USB FlashCard (UFC) from Lexar for transferring settings to client devices. (Image courtesy of Lexar Media, Inc., www.lexar.com)
