profiles are useful for easily switching
network settings and devices.You can switch network settings
simply by selecting the profile with the desired settings.
If you visit a client company occasionally, for example, you can set
up a profile to match that environment and connect to the network.
Similarly, users who access networks in the office and at home can
set up profiles to handle these networking environments.
A profile contains the currently configured network settings on the
computer, as well as information about any network devices. The
following settings can be saved (or “captured”) in a profile:
