Configuring a Network Profile You can configure a network based on an AP in range, create a new network, or modify the default (see page 5-9) network. Both methods start on the Wireless Networks Tab (see page 5-9) and open the Profile Info, WEP Mgmt, and WPA Settings tabs on which you configure the network profile and save the settings. • Profile Info Tab on page 5-11 • WEP Mgmt Tab on page 5-12 • WPA Settings Tab on page 5-13 Note: The settings on these tab windows are interrelated. This means that selecting one may disable access to others. To configure a network to an AP in range, double-tap one of the networks in the Configured Networks list (to make sure the AP you want is in the Configured Networks list, select it in the Available Networks list and tap Move to Configured.) When the Profile Info tab opens, information from the AP autofills some fields on these tabs. To add a network that is not in the Available Networks or Configured Networks list, tap Add. When the Profile Info tab opens, it contains the default (see page 5-9) settings. Profile Info Tab Field Network Profile Network Name Peer-to-Peer Group Do active scan Authentication Profile Description If you are configuring a network from the list, the name that appears in this field is the same as the name in the Configured Networks list and, by default, is the same as the broadcast SSID. This name cannot be changed. If you are adding a new network, this field is configurable. This is the SSID of the AP. If the AP broadcasts its SSID, then this value is retrieved from the Available Networks list and this field is completed automatically. If the SSID does not broadcast, then the field will be active and you must manually enter the value here. Select this option to have two or more client workstations communicate with each other without the benefit of an AP, otherwise known as ad hoc mode. You should also select Do Active Scan and, on the WEP Mgmt tab, select Use key for data encryption while entering a common key for both sides. WPA is not supported in this mode. Select this option whenever the AP (or client, for ad hoc mode) is not broadcasting its SSID. Note: This option is not available when Associate with any available network is selected. Select the authentication profile associated with this network and tap View. The drop-down list contains client profile names created in the User tab of the client configuration area; see User Tab on page 5-5. default is the default authentication profile.
