ters, you can save them in the profile named in this field by clicking the
Apply button.
You can also create additional profiles by typing a name in the Profile
Name field. When you change the name in this field and click the
Apply button, the configuration utility uses the current parameters for
your adapter to create a separate profile. You can then switch between
profiles by clicking the down arrow at the right of the
Profile Name
field, selecting a profile from the drop-down list, and clicking the Apply
button.
The following example describes a situation in which you would want to
create multiple profiles. Suppose that you use a wireless LAN at work,
but also have a network in your home (with a wireless Access Point) for
sharing an internet connection and a printer between several comput-
ers. Also, suppose you have another office within your business that
has WLAN capability, but which is configured differently than your main
office.
In this situation, you can create a different profile for each of these
three environments. Each profile specifies the parameters used on a
single network. Moving from one location to another, you need only
apply the appropriate profile to be able to participate in the local net-
work.
Network Name
Your 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card scans the available channels looking
for an Access Point or another station which has specified this same
SSID. (SSID, or Service Set IDentifier, is used by Access Points and
stations to identify a wireless network.) It then tries to associate with
these Access Points or stations to form a wireless network.
To change the SSID, highlight it, type the new SSID, and click the
Apply button.
In typical Infrastructure applications, a company uses a single SSID for
all Access Points. If the radio is scanning and cannot find a channel
when an Access Point is known to be in range, verify that the
Network
Name is set correctly.
