Profile Parameters
Scan Opens a window that lists access points that are broadcasting their SSIDs. Tap the Refresh button to
view an updated list of APs. Each AP’s SSID, its received signal strength indication (RSSI) and whether
or not data encryption is in use (true or false). Sort the list by tapping on the column headers.
If the scan finds more than one AP with the same SSID, the list displays the AP with the strongest RSSI
and the least security.
If you are logged in as an Admin, tap an SSID in the list and tap the Configure button, you return to the
Profile window to recreate a profile for that SSID, with the profile name being the same as the SSID (or
the SSID with a suffix such as “_1” if a profile with the SSID as its name exists already).
WEP Keys /
PSK Keys
Allows entry of WEP keys or pass phrase as required by the type of encryption.
