The following table describes the labels in this screen.
4.4 The Profile Screen
A profile is a set of wireless parameters that you need to connect to a wireless network. With a
profile activated, each time you start the NWD-170N, it automatically scans for the specific
SSID and joins that network with the pre-defined wireless security settings. If the specified
network is not available, the NWD-170N cannot connect to a network.
If you do not configure and activate a profile, each time you start the NWD-170N, the NWD-
170N uses the default profile to connect to any available network that has no security enabled.
