Config Tab
The Config tab provides a list of all access points (APs) and peer stations in range. You can create and edit SSID profiles for
access points that you want your station to associate with.
Preferred Profiles This section displays a list of preferred profiles for APs in the network, created by the user, or added
from the Active SSIDs table. When turned on, the 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. It will remain
blank if there no automatic association preference selected.
This section contains several icons that enable you to add and configure APs.
Active SSIDs The Active SSIDs table lists all access points or peer stations (creator of IBSS) in the vicinity of the
host. It displays only those SSIDs that accept broadcast associations.
Each record displays information in the following six columns (The screen may not display all the
