4.2.3.2 Creating and Using a Profile
A profile lets you easily connect to the same wireless network again later. You can
also configure different profiles for different networks, for example if you connect
a notebook computer to wireless networks at home and at work.
This example illustrates how to set up a profile and connect the wireless client to
an AP configured for WPA-PSK security. In this example, the SSID is
“SSID_Example3”, the profile name is “PN_Example3” and the pre-shared key is
“ThisismyWPA-PSKpre-sharedkey”. You have chosen the profile name
“PN_Example3”.
1 Open the ZyXEL utility and click the Profile tab to open the screen shown next.
Click Add to configure a new profile.

2 The Add New Profile screen appears. The wireless client automatically searches
for available wireless networks, and displays them in the Scan Info box. Click
Scan if you want to search again. You can also configure your profile for a wireless
network that is not in the list.

3 Give the profile a descriptive name (of up to 32 printable ASCII characters). Select
Infrastructure and either manually enter or select the AP's SSID in the Scan
Info table and click Select.
