SSID profiles for access points that you want your station to associate with.
Fields
Preferred Profiles A list of preferred profiles for access points (AP) in the network created by the user, or added from
the Active SSIDs table is located at the top of the Config window. When the radio is turned on, it
searches for the APs with which to associate in the order of the listed profiles. For each profile in the
table, one can make changes by using the icon tools at top of the table: New, Edit, Delete, Up, and
Down (Operation buttons on page 5-4). This table is blank after the initial HHP software installation.
It can be kept blank with no automatic association preference.
