Creating and Managing Network Profiles
Creating and Managing Network
Profiles
Network Profiles are networks that you have saved at connection time
using the auto-connect options or have manually added to the Network
Profiles network list.
Creating Network Profiles have the following advantages:
You can configure the client to automatically connect to a Network Profile
whenever that network is available.
If the last network you connected to is not available at a particular location,
the Motorola Connection Manager software will display a network from
your list of network profiles in the main window. This allows the same
easy, one click connecting to an alternate network.
You can automate steps in the connection process like entering an
encryption key or logging into a VPN so that you don't have to perform
these actions each time you connect.
You must have a profile for the following:
• You cannot connect to a closed WiFi network unless you create a "closed
network" Network Profile.
• You must have a network profile for each WiFi, WiMAX or Ethernet
network that you wish to connect to.
Creating a Profile for a WiFi Network
Follow these steps to create a WiFi Network Profile:
1. Click the
Profiles button in the main window of the Motorola
Connection Manager software. The Network Profiles window will now
be displayed.
2. Click on the WiFi heading in the left pane of the window.
3. Click the Add button to bring up the WiFi page of the new profile
wizard.
4. In the SSID field, enter the broadcast name of the network profile.
Note that the name entered here must match the SSID (Service Set
Identifier) used by the network exactly.
