This method of distribution enables you to type individual serial numbers or to create different groups of serial numbers that represent different organizations of users who need different location profiles. This optional step is designed primarily for securing the distribution of the profile location file (*.loa), when it is being sent to remote users for manual importing. Distribution control lists ensure that individuals install appropriate network connection profiles only. The Distribution Control List helps reduce unauthorized network access. Creating Groups: When creating groups of serial numbers, flat text files can be imported which contain the group of serial numbers. Figure 7. Create Group The file must be formatted such that each line contains a single serial number. These text files can be created by exporting a list that has been created with the Administrator Feature or by an asset management system if it has such capabilities. This simplifies the process of controlling distribution to a large number of computers based on their serial number. Client Configuration Policy This setting defines the Client Configuration Policy, which controls the capabilities that will be available to the user after the *.loa file is imported. Marking the box beside Do not allow clients to become an administrator: will prevent users from enabling the Administrator Feature on their installation of Access Connections. This setting is useful in large enterprise environments when you want to prevent others from creating and distributing network access profiles. You can also control a users ability to complete the following tasks: v Create, import and export location profiles. v Change global settings, see "Global settings" on page 12. v Create and apply WLAN location profiles using the Find Wireless Network function for Windows users without administrator privileges. v Automatic location profile switching. v Checking for updates.

Creating
Groups:
When
creating
groups
of
serial
numbers,
flat
text
files
can
be
imported
which
contain
the
group
of
serial
numbers.
The
file
must
be
formatted
such
that
each
line
contains
a
single
serial
number.
These
text
files
can
be
created
by
exporting
a
list
that
has
been
created
with
the
Administrator
Feature
or
by
an
asset
management
system
if
it
has
such
capabilities.
This
simplifies
the
process
of
controlling
distribution
to
a
large
number
of
computers
based
on
their
serial
number.
