There are two basic ways to create a profi le:

Version 1 :

   Change to the 

Profi le

 tab and click 

Add.

      or

Version 2 :

   Open the 

Network

 tab. All networks are listed in this tab. Select the required network in the list and click 

Add to    

 

 

profi le. 

 

For hidden networks only:

 

If the SSID fi eld is empty, the router or access point is set to hide the network. The SSID cannot therefore be copied  

 

automatically.

In both cases, the following window is displayed on the screen:

The device supports the infrastructure and ad-hoc network types.

Infrastructure:

 Select this type if you want to connect this wireless LAN device to 

a wireless LAN router or access point.

Ad-hoc

: Select this type if you want to connect directly to another wireless LAN 

client device, e.g. another USB stick or a WLAN PCI card without a wireless LAN 

router or access point. Two WLAN client devices are required for this.

3.2.1.1 Infrastructure mode

First enter a name for your profi le 

(Profi le name)

, e.g. “PROF1”.

If you have selected 

version 1

 to create the new profi le, you must enter the network ID 

(SSID)

 of the target network in the SSID fi eld. 

This is in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or you can ask the person in charge. If you have selected 

version 2,

 

the 

SSID

 has already been copied automatically from the network overview.

To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the device in 

power saving mode (PSM)

. In this mode, certain functions are 

deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select 

Constantly Awake Mode (CAM)

, if you want to work at full 

power all the time.

Select 

Infrastructure

 under network type. This mode facilitates connection to a wireless LAN router or access point. The settings for 

TX Power, RTS Threshold 

and 

Fragment Threshold

 can be left at the default settings.

If your network uses encryption, switch to the 

Authentication and Security

 tab and continue confi guration under 

Setting wireless 

LAN encryption

If your network is not encrypted, click 

OK

 to accept the settings. To activate the profi le created, switch to the 

Profi les

 tab, select the 

profi le and then click 

Activate.

 

3.2.1.2 Ad-hoc mode

First enter a name for your profi le 

(Profi le name)

, e.g. “PROF1”.

If you have selected 

version 1

 to create the profi le, you must enter the network ID (SSID) of the target  network in the 

SSID

 fi eld. This 

is in the wireless LAN settings in your router or access point or you can ask the person in charge. If you have selected 

version 2

, the 

SSID

 has already been copied automatically from the network overview.

To reduce the energy consumption, you can run the device in 

Power saving mode (PSM)

. In this mode, certain functions are 

deactivated or run at a lower setting if they are not fully used. Select 

Constantly Awake Mode (CAM)

 if you want to work at full power 

all the time.
