WLAN Profiles
WLAN Quick Connect allows users to add a WLAN profile from a list of available networks that refreshes
automatically every 60 seconds. Since details of the selected network are pre-populated, users do not need
to configure the connection. Users can test the network connection before they add it to the pool of WLAN
profiles.
A WLAN profile defines all of the settings needed to establish a wireless connection. This is true when in
infrastructure mode for an access point, as well as another wireless client. A maximum of eight profiles can
exist on the Wireless Print Solutions Adapter at a time. All enabled profiles are active.
The Wireless Print Solutions Adapter supports dynamic profiles and prioritization of the profiles. Dynamic
Profiles are created using WPS or Quick Connect. Profiles are assigned numbers based on priority. For
example, dynamic profiles list in reverse order of creation, followed by choice-list profiles, then any
remaining profiles.
Configuring WLAN Profile Settings
On the Network page, you can edit, create, or delete a WLAN profile.
