(a) Profile Name
The first thing you will notice is the “Profile Name”. Initially this will say
“default” and be grayed out until you have set up a profile. Also, the
Profile
Manager Mode (k) will be “OFF”. Using Profiles allows you to save
configurations
for different wireless networks. For instance, if you use your Adapter at
your
place of work and also at your home, your wireless network settings
may be
different for each location. Profiles let you store settings for each
location and
name them for easy identification. The “default” profile will contain the
initial
configuration setting when you install the Adapter. To learn how to use
Profiles,
see the section of this manual called “Using Profile Manager Mode”.
(b) Operating Mode
Shows the current wireless mode the Adapter is operating in. There are
two
operating modes: “Infrastructure” and “802.11 Ad-Hoc”. Infrastructure is
the
most common mode to operate in and is the factory default setting. Use
Infrastructure mode when connecting your PC to a wireless access
point or to a
wireless router. Ad-Hoc mode is used to connect two or more
computers together
without the use of an access point or wireless router. To change the
mode, click
the down-facing arrow next to the Operating Mode field. Select the
mode you
wish to use, then click “Apply”.
