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 access point. If the access point 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 (ad hoc
mode): Select this option to have two or more client workstations communicate with each other without the
benefit of an access point. 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 access point (or client, for ad hoc mode) is not broadcasting its SSID.
Authentication
Profile

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.
