Getting Connected with 3Com Wireless LAN Manager

The Advanced Connection Settings button will allow you to specify additional information including:

Profile settings such as profile name, if you just want to save the profile instead of connecting, and automatic profile selection behavior.

After you complete the connection, the connection information will be stored in a profile with the network name of that connection.

From the 3Com Launcher application, you can return to the profile you have just created by clicking on the Options Menu ( ) button and selecting that profile from the menu. After you have created multiple profiles, you can also switch between them with the Options Menu ( ) button. Selecting the “Automatic Profile Selection” option allows Wireless LAN Manager to try to choose the best profile for you depending on your location.

The Profile Manager ( ) button activates the Wireless LAN Profile Manager application. You can use this application to activate profiles, edit profiles, create new profiles, and import or export profiles. You can also determine which profiles will be used if the “Automatic Profile Selection” option is selected, and in what order they will be tried.

The Edit Current Profile ( ) button allows you to make changes to the currently selected profile. You can also make changes to a profile from the Wireless LAN Profile Manager, or by creating a new connection for the network name (which will overwrite the current profile).

The Diagnostics ( ) button will display information about the wireless LAN adapter, current connection, and visible networks. The Help ( ) button will display help information about the status of the current connection.
