The Profile Manager enables you to create, modify and delete the profiles that the

Profiles Pool: A list of inactive profiles, that is, profiles that cannot currently be
used for making a connection.
Active Profiles: A list of active profiles, that is, profiles that can be used for
making a connection.
Each profile in the Active Profiles list has a priority based on its location in the list.
The higher in the list, the higher the profile’s priority.
When the station tries to connect to a network with a specific SSID, the station first

station cannot connect using the first profile, the station tries to connect using the
next-highest profile, and so forth.
Likewise, when the station loses the connection with the current network, the station
