Parameter		Description
Profile Name		The name assigned to the configuration profile.
		Range: You can key in up to 32 ASCII characters.
Client Name		A logical name for your workstation. It enables an administrator to
		ascertain which devices are connected to the access point without
		having to memorize every MAC address. This name is included in the
		access point’s list of connected devices. The client name is filled in
		automatically but can be changed.
		Range: You can key in up to 16 ASCII characters.
		Default: The name of your computer
		Note Each computer on the network should have a unique client
		name.
SSID1		The service set identifier (SSID) identifies the specific wireless
		network that you want the client adapter to access.
		Range: You can key in up to 32 ASCII characters (case sensitive).
		Default: A blank field
		Note If you leave this parameter blank, your client adapter can
		associate to any access point on the network that is configured
		to allow broadcast SSIDs. If the access point with which the
		client adapter is to communicate is not configured to allow
		broadcast SSIDs, the value of this parameter must match the
		SSID of the access point. Otherwise, the client adapter is unable
		to access the network.
		Note You must enter an SSID if this profile is configured for use in
		an ad hoc network.
