In the Manager window, you can configure various settings for your wireless LAN
card and get more detailed information on the status of the connection. You can
access it either by clicking the browse button in the Monitor window (see Figure 5
on page 19), or by right-clicking the Nokia C110/C111 icon on the task bar and by
selecting
Manager window
from the shortcut menu.
The Manager window can consist of the following pages: Profiles, Status, General
settings, Diagnostics, Update, Administrator and SIM Services. The
Administrator page is used by system administrators. The number of pages may
vary depending on which pages were selected during installation. You can view
the different pages by clicking the icons on the left icon bar.
Profiles
For the Nokia C110/C111 to operate in wireless local area networks, you need to
configure certain settings for each network. For example, when you use the card in
your office LAN, you need different settings from those of the LAN at an airport
you are visiting. On the Profiles page you can configure the necessary settings and
create network profiles for specific wireless LAN environments.
A profile is a group of wireless LAN specific and Windows networking settings
that you need for accessing wireless LANs. Profiles enable easy transfer from one
network to another without having to remember all the different settings. On the
Profiles page you can also modify existing profiles and create new profiles. Profiles
are stored to a hard disk or a smart card.
Selecting profiles
You need to select a network profile suitable for the wireless LAN in which you
want your wireless LAN card to operate.When you insert the wireless LAN card
into your computer, the card selects the profile last used as a default profile. If,
however, you want to use another profile, you can either select it from the list of
existing profiles or create a new one.
In the
Profile selection
area, there is a list of profiles from which you can select a
profile with all necessary settings for a particular wireless LAN. If you have
connected to a network previously, you can simply select the profile for that
network and then click the
Apply
button. The profile that is currently active is
indicated with a green check mark, while a profile that has been selected but is not
yet activated has a frame around it. A profile which is stored on a smart card is
indicated with a small smart card symbol. The name of the active profile is
displayed in the
Operating information
area. See Figure 6 on page 20.
Note:
When you select a different profile, you may be prompted to restart
your computer.
