connection attempt is successful, a new wireless location profile will be created using the detected wireless network name and default settings. You can also manually create a location profile for a detected wireless network if you know the appropriate settings. v Automatic switching of location profiles If a network associated with your currently applied location profile becomes unavailable, Access Connection can search for available networks and automatically switch to a matching location profile. You can automatically switch between wireless location profiles, and Ethernet location profiles. You can establish a wireless priority list that allows you to define which wireless location profile will be made active when your computer is in range of multiple wireless networks, or when more than one location profile uses the same wireless network name. v Create location profiles for remote deployment administrator only An Access Connections administrator can define location profiles for export to the client computers. Access Connections provides an icon in the system tray which allows you to launch the application, view the status of the current location profile, and switch between profiles. Considerations for deploying Access Connections Collecting information about the various places where users might attempt to connect and the kinds of connections available in those locations will help you develop pre-configured profiles that users can import and use right away. By capturing working configurations in profiles which can be deployed with the initial image, support calls can be reduced and users can immediately take advantage of their network connections without intervention. The Administrator Feature Enabler tool available with version 4.0 or later simplifies the task of deploying location profiles, global settings, and control policies to individuals or groups of individuals running Access Connections in a corporate environment. The deployment of profiles and settings can be accomplished during the initial system deployment as part of the preload image or after systems are in the field using standard remote deployment methods.
