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.

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

location
profiles,
global
settings,
and

policies
to
individuals
or

running
Access

in
a

environment.
The
