What is a Network Profile?

A network profile is a saved configuration for connecting to a particular network. Some profiles, such as the profile used to establish a Sprint Mobile Broadband connection, are predefined. Additional network profiles for other types of connections can be created in the Network Profiles window.

Network profiles have the following advantages:

●You can configure Sprint SmartView to automatically connect to a network profile whenever the associated network is available.

●If the last network you connected to is not available, the Sprint SmartView software uses the priorities of all defined network profiles to select a network to connect to, regardless of whether it is in automatic or manual connection mode. In manual mode, the selected network is presented as the default for manual connection. This allows the same easy, one click connection to an alternate network.

●You can automate steps in the connection process, such as entering an encryption key or logging into a VPN, so that you don't have to perform these actions each time you connect.

Moreover, you must have a profile to connect to:

●Closed WiFi networks. (See “Accessing a Closed Network” on page 38.)

●A mobile broadband network. (Sprint SmartView creates a profile for you automatically when you connect a Sprint Mobile Broadband Device.)
