User's Manual

4-2 Using the Network
The Bodega Device Manager introduces the “Profiles” concept. Profiles
allow a user to store specific settings for a particular situation or
environment. A user may have an “Office” profile in which the node
operates in Wi-Fi mode and a “Home” profile for Multimedia mode, for
instance. Profiles will help the user manage the appropriate settings
including network IDs, WEP, and operating mode.
Profiles can be created, managed (for editing) and activated from the
Device Manager application by selecting the Profiles menu.
When creating a new profile from this menu, the software will ask the
user to select either a Wi-Fibased or a Multimedia-based profile.

Figure 2 Creating a Multimedia Profile
Figure 2 shows the screen to create a new Multimedia profile. Both
settings that are common between Wi-Fi and Multimedia mode (such
as Profile Name and encryption setting) and any settings unique to
Multimedia mode can be set here. Unique settings include the “Auto”
setting for the channel selection and the Channel Agility sensitivity
setting (both unique to the Channel Agility feature). Another
Multimedia-only setting is the “Fix as Master” option, which forces a
particular node to be the network coordinator.
