Configuring a Network Profile
To configure a network profile, on the main screen, tap and hold on the port, tap Configure, then tap Add. The Network Profile
screen opens displaying the Profile Info tab.
Note: The settings on these tab windows are interrelated. This means that selecting one may disable access to others.
Profile Info Tab
Field Description
Network Profile Enter the name of this record. This is the name that appears in the Configured Networks list and, by
default, is the same as the broadcast SSID. Note that there is nothing special about the name "default".
You could configure any other record similarly and it would behave the same way.
Network Name This is the SSID of the AP. If the AP broadcasts its SSID, then this value may be derived from the
Available Networks list. If the SSID does not broadcast, then you must manually enter the value here.
Peer-to-Peer
Group Select this option to have two or more client workstations communicate with each other without the
benefit of an AP. You should also select Do Active Scan and, in the WEP Management page, enable
Use key for data encryption while entering a common key for both sides.
WPA is not supported in this mode.
Do active scan Select this option whenever the AP (or client, for ad hoc mode) is not broadcasting its SSID.
Authentication
Profile Select the Client Configuration (user) profile associated with this network. The drop-down list contains
the profile names created on the User tab of the Client configuration area.
To open the selected profile, select it in the drop-down list and tap View. The User tab opens displaying
the profile details. If you tap OK (to save changes) or Cancel, you are returned to the Profile Info tab.
