Configuration
Profile Name: The profile feature allows you to save the current wireless settings to the
WLAN card. You can save multiple profiles for different network environment and easily
retrieve the required one as needed.
In the Profile Name filed, enter a proper name to identify this network setting. After you
finish all the settings on this tab, click the Apply button.
To restore the required configuration, just click the drop-down menu to retrieve the preferred
profile. The current profile is indicated by the heading of the utility, e.g., “Default - PRISM
Wireless Settings” or “Office - PRISM Wireless Settings”.
Network Name: Also known as Service Set ID (SSID), it is the name of the Wireless LAN
group you want to participate in. All wireless clients must use the same network name in order
to communicate with each other.
Notice that under Access Point type, if the special SSID name “Any” is used, your Wireless
LAN Card will connect to the first compatible and “open” Access Point within the connection
range. It allows your Wireless LAN Card to wander across networks with different SSID.
