3.2.8 Auto Profile Selection Management

Including a profile in the auto selection feature allows the wireless adapter to automatically select that

profile from the list of profiles and use it to connect to the network.

Including a profile in auto profile selection:

1. On the Profile Management tab, click the Order Profiles button.

2. The Auto Profile Selection Management window appears, with a list of all created profiles in the

Available Profiles box.

3. Highlight the profiles to add to auto profile selection, then click Add. The profiles appear in the Auto

Selected Profiles box.

Ordering the auto selected profiles:

1. Highlight a profile in the Auto Selected Profiles box.

2. Click Move Up or Move Down as appropriate.

The first profile in the Auto Selected Profiles box has highest priority, and the last profile has lowest

priority.

3. Click OK.

4. Check the Auto Select Profiles box.

5. Save the modified configuration file.

When auto profile selection is enabled by checking Auto Select Profiles on the Profile Management tab,

the client adapter scans for an available network. The profile with the highest priority and the same SSID

as one of the found networks is the one that is used to connect to the network. If the connection fails, the

client adapter tries the next highest priority profile that matches the SSID, and so on.
