Spectrum24 Configuration 5-5
Finding WLANs
A completed profile is a set of mobile computer configuration settings that can be used in different
locations to connect to a Spectrum24 network. Creating different profiles is a good way of having pre-
defined mobile computer operating parameters available for use in various Spectrum24 network
environments.
Select Find WLANs from the Mobile Companion menu to locate the APs in the area. The Mobile
Companion window displays the available WLAN networks.
Figure 5-2. Available WLAN Networks
WLAN Profiles Displays the current profiles and allows the user to add, edit and delete profiles. (See
Changing Profiles on page 5-31 for more information.)
Find WLANs Displays a list of Spectrum24 networks (APs and networked peers) available to the mobile
computer for association. The networks are listed by their ESSID. To the right of each
network is a signal strength icon. Networks with a signal strength of Good (three green
bars out of five) or better should be considered for connection. Tap a network and tap
Connect to interoperate with the AP representing that network. Once connected, the
Mode, Authentication , Encryption , IP Config and Power tab views display the ESSID,
security settings, network address information and power consumption level set for that
network. (See
Finding WLANs on page 5-5 for more information.)
Options Displays settings for system sounds, AP and mobile computer association capabilities,
profile roaming options, as well as the password protecting the Mobile Companion utility.
(See
Setting Options on page 5-28 for more information.)
