Automatic Profile Distribution
The Enable Auto-Import feature allow a network administrator to distribute a profile automatically
to computers connected to a network. The Enable Auto-Import box is located on the Profile
Wizard dialogs. When the checkbox is checked the profile must be copied to a specific directory
on the host computer, from there it can be distributed to multiple computers. Once the profile is
received by the remote computer it will automatically be available for use from the Scan profile
list. If an attempt is made to edit a distributed profile that is password protected, a password
prompt will appear.
Automatically importing WLAN profiles is accomplished by monitoring the
import
folder on your
hard disk for new profile files. Only profile that have the
Enable Auto-Import
checked on the
Profile Wizard dialog can be automatically imported. If a profile of the same name already exists
in the Profile List, a dialog is displayed from which you can either reject the import, or accept in
which case the existing profile will be replaced. All imported profiles will be placed at the bottom
of the Profile List, and the profile file will be immediately deleted after the import whether the
import was successful or not.
