Chapter 4 Using the Profile Manager
Modifying a Profile
Note This option is available only if two or more profiles are included in auto profile selection
and if the client adapter is using PCM/LMC/PCI card driver version 8.01 or greater (or
mini PCI/PC-Cardbus card driver version 2.20 or greater).
Note Login scripts are not reliable if you use auto profile selection with LEAP. If you LEAP
authenticate and achieve full network connectivity before or at the same time as you log
into the computer, the login scripts will run. However, if you LEAP authenticate and
achieve full network connectivity after you log into the computer, the login scripts will
not run.
• Allow Windows To Configure My Wireless Network Settings – This option, which is available
only on Windows XP, allows Windows to configure the client adapter and disregard any ACU profiles.
You must select this option if you are configuring your card through Windows XP but want to use ACU’s
diagnostic tools. Refer to Appendix E for information on configuring your client adapter through
Windows XP.
Step 3 Click OK or Apply to save your selection. The client adapter starts using a profile based on the option
selected above.
Modifying a Profile
This section provides instructions for modifying an existing profile. Follow the steps in the
corresponding section below to edit, set to default values, rename, or delete a profile.
Editing a Profile
Step 1 Open ACU; then click the Profile Manager icon or select Profile Manager from the Commands
drop-down menu.
Step 2 From the Profile Management drop-down box, select the profile that you want to edit.
Step 3 Click Edit. The Properties screens appear with the name of the profile in parentheses.
Step 4 Follow the instructions in Chapter 5 to change any of the configuration parameters for this profile.
Step 5 If you want this profile to be included in auto profile selection, make sure the Include Profile in Auto
Profile Selection checkbox on the Profile Manager screen is selected.
Note If your profile is configured to use LEAP, it can be included in auto profile selection only if
it has a saved LEAP username and password.
Step 6 Click OK or Apply to save your configuration changes.
