Honeywell 7900 manual Config Tab

Config Tab

The Config tab provides a list of all APs and peer stations in range. Its configuration tool enables you to create and edit SSID profiles for APs that you want your station to associate with.

Preferred Profiles	This Preferred Profiles section displays a list of preferred profiles for AP in the network created by the
	user, or added from the Active SSIDs table. When turned on, the radio searches for the APs in the
	exact order shown in the list of profiles. This section is blank after the initial installation and each hard
	reset thereafter. This section remains blank if there no automatic association preference selected.
	This section contains several icons that enable you to add and configure APs.

Icon	Name	Description
	New	This button is always active. Tap it to create a new profile on a series of
		screens; for instructions, see To Create a New Profile on page 9-7.

The following buttons activate only when an Active SSID in the Preferred Profile list is selected.

Edit	Tap this button to open the configuration screens for the selected SSID.
Delete	Tap this button to delete the selected SSID from the Preferred Profile list.
Up	Tap this button to move the selected SSID up one place in the Preferred
	Profile list.
Down	Tap this button to move the selected SSID down one place in the
	Preferred Profile list.

Remember that the terminal accesses the SSIDs in this list in the exact order that they appear; moving an SSID up or down in the list determines the order of contact.

Active SSIDs	The Active SSIDs table lists all APs or peer stations (creator of IBSS) in the vicinity of the host. It
	displays only those SSIDs that accept broadcast associations.
	Each record displays information in the following six columns (The screen may not display all the
	fields in the following table. Use horizontal scroll bar to view all):
