Setting up Auto

Auto Network Connect ensures network association even when traversing

Network Connect

subnets. The client automatically associates with the nearest access point that has

 

compatible encryption settings and automatically obtains a valid IP address.

 

This option requires a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server. The client’s

 

network configuration must be set to obtain its IP address automatically. For more

 

information on DHCP, see the documentation for your operating system.
