Description

Enter the name of this record. This is the name that appears in the Configured Networks list and, by default, is the same as the broadcast SSID. Note that there is nothing special about the name "default". You could configure any other record similarly and it would behave the same way.

This is the SSID of the AP. If the AP broadcasts its SSID, then this value may be derived from the Available Networks list. If the SSID does not broadcast, then you must manually enter the value here.

Select this option to have two or more client workstations communicate with each other without the benefit of an AP. You should also select Do Active Scan and, in the WEP Management page, enable Use key for data encryption while entering a common key for both sides. WPA is not supported in this mode.

Select this option whenever the AP (or client, for ad hoc mode) is not broadcasting its SSID.

Select the Client Configuration (user) profile associated with this network. The drop-down list contains client profile names created in the User tab of the Client Configuration Area; see User Tab on page 9- 22.

To open the selected profile, select it in the drop-down list and tap View. The User tab opens displaying the profile details. If you tap OK (to save changes) or Cancel, you are returned to the Profile Info tab.
