3.5 Wireless -> Profiles

A profile is a definition of generic wireless settings which can be shared across multiple APs. AP-

specific settings are configured from the AP page. The profile allows for easy duplication of SSIDs,

security settings, encryption methods, client authentication, etc. across APs.

Profile Name: this is the unique (alphanumeric) identifier of this wireless profile.

SSID: this is the Service Set Identifier that clients use to connect to the AP that has this profile; it

is referenced in the AP tables and statistics.

Broadcast: The icon here indicates whether this profile will configure the assigned AP to broadcast

its SSID or not.. The green tick mark indicates that SSID is marked to be broadcasted; the red

‘cancel’ icon indicates the SSID is marked to not to be broadcasted and a device would have to

specify the SSID exactly to connect to the AP.

Security: this field displays the type of wireless security (if any) assigned to this profile: None,

WEP, WPA, WPA2, WPA+WPA2

Encryption: this field selects the encryption type that is assigned to the profile: WEP, TKIP, CCMP,

TKIP + CCMP.
