Chapter 7: Managing Auto-Scan Lists
5. Order the selected networks based on the frequency with which you expect to
connect to them. Place the highest priority networks at the top of the list. A
network on this list is considered to be preferred over the networks listed below
it. You can select one or more networks and use the up and down arrows to
reorder the list.
6. Optionally, you can select Switch to preferred network when available, even
if currently connected. If you use this option, OAC scans continuously through
the networks in the list and forces a connection to the uppermost available
network on this list any time that you connect to this auto-scan list from the
Connection dialog. If the preferred network is available, OAC connects to that
network even if you are connected to a different network on this list at the
time.
An access point must broadcast an SSID in order to connect to it using this
option.
7. Click OK when you complete the set up for the auto-scan list
See “Preemptive Networks (EE and FE Only)” on page 18 for information about
creating an auto-scan list that is prepended to any network connection you
configure on the Connection dialog of the OAC. This link provides information
about how this option is treated when you or your administrator configure a
preemptive auto-scan list.
