Profile Name

This is used to identify the profile once it has been imported into the Wireless Network Adapter configuration software.

To set up a profile (once the Service Area Name/SSID and Encryption settings have been configured in the Gateway):

1Enter a Profile Name (up to 25 alphanumeric characters) and then click Save Profile.

2Your browser will then prompt you to enter a file name and folder location in which to save the profile. Once the profile has been saved it can be copied on to another PC and imported into the 3Com Wireless Network Adapter.

For instructions on how to import a profile, refer to the User Guide that accompanies your 3Com Wireless Network Adapter(s).

If, once the profile is imported, the Wireless Network Adapter cannot connect to the Gateway, check that:

the adapter is within range of the Gateway

if Connection Control has been enabled in the Gateway, the MAC address of the Wireless Network Adapter must be included in the list of authorised Wireless PCs.
