Note
The wireless LAN software allows for the configuration of profiles for different wireless
network configuration support on the same notebook computer. This allows a user of the
notebook to travel to areas where the wireless network configuration may be different.
This may include different company offices or different buildings. Due to the built-in
security in Windows NT only administrators are allowed to change network settings. To
allow people who are defined as users or power-users on the local system to switch
wireless profiles they must be predefined by the administrator. So, during the
configuration of a PC, the local administrator should define all the needed wireless
profiles the users will require. These user and power-user accounts may change the
wireless settings if needed for remote troubleshooting purposes but the settings will not
be saved when the user logs off the system or reboots.
