Configuration Utility

Profile Setting

The profile setting displays information of the
selected profile.
It is divided into three sub-tabs.

Network Info:
• Profile Name: name of the selected profile.

• Network SSID: the connected network SSID.

You can type a specific Network SSID in this field
to limit the link to an access point or other
computer equipped with a wireless LAN adapter.
If you leave this field blank, the wireless LAN
adapter will try to build the link with any wireless
device that has better signal and link quality.
