Wireless Applications 4-23
The profiles are listed in priority order for use by the automatic roaming feature. Change the order by moving profiles up or down. Edit
existing profiles by selecting one in the list and then tap-and-hold to display the menu. The menu allows the selected profile to be
connected, edited, disabled (enabled) or deleted. (Note: the Disable menu item changes to Enable if the profile is already disabled.)
Figure 4-30. Manage Profiles Context Menu
A dialog displays to confirm the users desire to delete a profile, if selected.
Changing Profiles
A completed profile is a set of configuration settings that can be used in different locations to connect to a wireless network. Creating
different profiles is a good way of having pre-defined operating parameters available for use in various network environments. When
the WLAN Profiles window initially displays, existing profiles appear in the list.
Figure 4-31. Manage Profiles
Select a profile from the list. Select Connect from the pop-up menu to set that profile as the active profile. Once selected, the mobile
computer uses the authentication, encryption, ESSID, IP Config and power consumption settings initially configured for that profile.
Editing a Profile
Select a profile from the list. Select Edit from the pop-up menu to display the Profile Wizard where the ESSID and operating mode
can be changed for the profile. Use the wizard to edit the profile power consumption and security parameters. See Profile Editor
Wizard on page 4-5 for procedure on using the wizard.
