Statistics

tab you can view detailed information on the connection

between the Nokia D311 PC card and the WLAN access point to which you are

linked. Both graphical and numeric statistics are given for the following

properties: connection quality, received signal strength (RSSI), noise floor, signal

to noise ratio (SNR), Tx retry rate, and data flow.

Create installation disks

The system administrator can create installation disks that contain all the

software and necessary settings needed for accessing networks. The custom

installation package fits on a compact disk but can also be saved on a hard disk.
The installation disk can be used for distributing profiles. All the desired settings

and profiles can be copied to the installation disk, and the end user does not have

to configure settings in order to be able to connect to a network.

To generate an installation disk:

On the

Administrator

page, select the

Installation Disk

tab. Select from the

following options:

Profiles available

–

The list contains the names of all the profiles found in the

system registry. Select the profiles that you want to include in the installation

package.

Allow editing of selected profiles

– The administrator can deny the editing of

those profiles that are distributed with the installation disk. The user can

create new profiles.

Include smart card driver

– If you want other applications to be able to use the

smart card reader of the Nokia D311 PC card, you need to install a PC/SC

(Personal Computer Smart Card) compliant smart card driver. When this

option is selected, the smart card reader can be used with other applications

besides the Nokia D311 PC card, and with special types of smart cards.

Include basic settings from Settings page

– Certain settings that have been

configured on the

Settings

page can be included in the installation package.

These include all settings configured on the General tab, GSM tab (no

advanced settings such as call forwarding), and WLAN tab. These settings are

common for all profiles.

Create one file installation package

– The installation package consists of only

one executable file. It contains the necessary files and drivers, and is easier to

distribute through e-mail, for example, than several separate files.

Include Administrator page

– The entire

Administrator

page is included in the

installation package.
