2. Profile Tab
The Profile tab is used to configure the various profiles available to you for
wireless connections. The Profile tab contains some of the same fields as the
Status tab, but unlike the Status tab, all of the fields in the Profile tab are alterable.
Figure 2 shows the screen layout of the profile tab.
Profile Name
Allow to give a name to the profile. Any user can add 9 different profiles at
most if he wishes. After assigning a new profile name and complete related fields
shown below it, you then can press Apply to save the profile. Click “Apply” or “OK”
to activate the options that you have set.
Defaults
Pressing this button restores each field in the panel to its default value. The
default value for each field is as below.
SSID
The identification of BSS (Basic Service Set) is associated with the current
profile. The default value is “ANY”. This allows your wireless client to automatically
associate to any access point in the vicinity of your wireless client.
Mode
This field allows you to select from a list of supported network mode. The
modes displayed will have “Access Point” and “Peer-to-Peer”. The default value
is “Access Point”.
Transmission Rate
The transmission rate is the rate at which the data packets are transmitted by
the client of the access point. You can set this to 1Mbps, 2Mbps, Auto 1 or 2Mbps,
5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, or Fully Automatic. The default value is “Fully Automatic”.
Peer-to-Peer Channel
Changing the channel is only effective in Ad-Hoc networks. Networking
operating infrastructure mode can automatically scans for a channel. Be aware that
when the peer-to-peer mode is selected, be sure to set your wireless stations with
the same channel.
