Config Tab
The Config tab provides a list of all APs and peer stations in range. Use the list to create and edit SSID profiles for APs you want
the terminal to associate with.
If you decide to use the 802.11b Wireless Security Supplement (see page 8-10) to configure the radio, you must make
sure that there are no profiles entered in the Preferred Profiles list!
Preferred Profiles
The Preferred Profiles section displays a list of your preferred profiles, the profiles you create or add
from the list of Active SSIDs below. When applied, the 802.11b radio searches for the APs in the exact
order shown in the list of profiles. This section is blank after the initial installation and each hard reset.
This section remains blank if no automatic association preference is selected.
This section contains several icons that enable you to add and configure APs.
Icon Name Description
New Always active, tap this button to create a new profile.
The following buttons activate only when an Active SSID in the Preferred Profile list is selected.
Edit Opens the configuration screens for a selected SSID in the Preferred
Profiles list.
Delete Deletes the selected SSID from the Preferred Profile list.
Up Moves the selected SSID up one place in the Preferred Profile list so that
the terminal hits it prior to the next SSID.
Down Move the selected SSID down one place in the Preferred Profile list so
that the terminal hits it after the prior SSID.
Note: Remember that the terminal accesses the SSIDs in this list in the exact order that they
appear; moving an SSID up or down in the list determines the order of contact.
Add Tap this button to add an Active SSID to the Preferred Profiles list.
Apply Tap Apply to associate with a selected SSID. The SSID selected can be
in the Preferred Profile or Active SSIDs lists. When applied, the Status tab
opens displaying the status of the wireless connection. If the association
fails, a search for another AP in the Preferred Profile list automatically
takes place, and the radio attempts to associate with the station in order
of preference.
Refresh Tap Refresh to start a new search for all available APs or peer stations in
the vicinity.
