What is a Profile?
A profile is a saved group of network settings. Profiles are displayed in the Profile List. Profiles are useful
when moving from one wireless network to another. Different profiles can be configured for each wireless
network. Profile settings include the network name (SSID), operating mode, and security settings.
A profile is created when you connect to a wireless network.
1. Select a network from the Wireless Networks list.
2. Click Connect.
3. If the wireless network requires a WEP password or encryption key, enter the password. To change
the security options, click Advanced to open the Profile Wizard Security Settings.
4. Click OK to connect. A profile is created and added to the Profiles list.
The Profile Management Wizard guides you through the settings required to connect with the wireless
network. At completion, the profile is saved and added to the Profiles list. Since these wireless settings are
saved, the next time you are in range of this wireless network you are automatically connected.
Profiles List
The profile list displays a list of existing profiles. When you come in range of a wireless network, Intel
PROSet/Wireless scans the Profile List to see if there is a match. If a match is found, you are automatically
connected to the network.
