b) Profile Tab
Profile settings are radio and security
settings that are stored in the registry as
part of a configuration profile. When a
profile is selected as the active profile on
the Main tab, the settings for that profile
become active. An administrator can
define up to 20 profiles, edit them, and
delete them on the Profile tab in SCU.
Profile changes made on the tab are
saved to the profile only when the
Commit button is pressed.
Unless it is modified, the Default profile
does not specify an SSID, EAP type, or
method of encryption. If the Default
profile is the active profile, then the radio
will associate only to an access point
that broadcasts its SSID and requires no
EAP type and no encryption.
• Edit Profile: This is used to select the profile to be viewed or, if you are an
administrator, edited.
• Actions: Four actions are available, with the first three available only to an
administrator:
- New: Create a new profile with default settings and give it a unique name
(and then change settings using other selections on the tab).
- Rename: Give the profile a new name, one that is not assigned to another
profile.
- Delete: Delete the profile, provided that it is not the active profile.
- Scan: Open a window that lists access points that are broadcasting their
SSIDs. Each time you tap the Refresh button, you view an uPDTted list of
APs, with each row showing an AP’s SSID, its received signal strength
indication (RSSI), and whether or not data encryption is in use (true or
false). You can sort the list by clicking on the column headers. If you are
authorized as an administrator, select an SSID in the list, and tap Commit,
you return to the Profile tab to create a profile for that SSID.
• Radio: Radio attributes in the list box can be selected individually. When an
attribute is selected, the current setting or an appropriate selection box with
the current setting highlighted appears on the right.
• Security: Values for the two primary security attributes, EAP type and
encryption type, are displayed in separate dropdown lists, with the current
values highlighted. When you as an administrator select an EAP type, the
Credentials button appears; when you tap it, a dialog box appears that
enables you to define authentication credentials for that EAP type. When
