Creating and Managing Network Profiles

Creating and Managing Network Profiles

Network Profiles are networks that you have saved at connection time

using the auto-connect options or have manually added to the Network

Profiles network list.

Creating Network Profiles have the following advantages:

You can configure the client to automatically connect to a Network Profile

whenever that network is available.

If the last network you connected to is not available at a particular location,

the Motorola Connection Manager software will display a network from

your list of network profiles in the main window. This allows the same

easy, one click connecting to an alternate network.

You can automate steps in the connection process like entering an

encryption key or logging into a VPN so that you don't have to perform

these actions each time you connect.

You must have a profile for the following:

• You cannot connect to a closed WiFi network unless you create a "closed

network" Network Profile.

• You must have a network profile for each WiFi, WiMAX or Ethernet

network that you wish to connect to.

Follow these steps to create a WiFi Network Profile:

1. Click the Profiles button in the main window of the Motorola

Connection Manager software. The Network Profiles window will now

be displayed.

2. Click on the WiFi heading in the left pane of the window.

3. Click the Add button to bring up the WiFi page of the new profile

wizard.

4. In the SSID field, enter the broadcast name of the network profile.

Note that the name entered here must match the SSID (Service Set

Identifier) used by the network exactly.
