Working with Profile Groups
Profile groups allow you to organize your Preferred WLAN profiles. You
can place the profiles in different groups to make them easier to find and
manage. Creating profile groups is optional.
There can be only one active profile group at a time. The wireless adapter
uses the profiles in the active group to establish a connection to a wireless
network. The profiles in the other groups are inactive. You can work on all
the profiles in all the groups, not just the active group, but only the profiles
in the active group are used to make a wireless connection. For
instructions on how to designate the active group, refer to “Selecting the
Active Profile Group” on page 57.
