Application Settings (Administrator Tool)
An administrator can configure the Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Connection Utility settings
to control how the application behaves on the user's computer, and to select what level of
control users have over various aspects of their WiFi connections. These settings are
configured using the Administrator Tool, and are not the same as those listed under the
Tools Menu.
To configure Application Settings:
1. Click Include Application Settings in this package.
2. Select the settings that you want. Some settings require more information. Each
setting is listed in the next table.

Adapter Switching
If enabled, then whenever a valid wired Ethernet
connection is detected, the WiFi connection utility
will automatically close any WiFi network
connections. If the system looses its wired Ethernet
connection, the WiFi connection utility will
automatically attempt to connect to the last
connected profile. If the last connected network is
not available, the WiFi connection utility will attempt
to connect to the first available wireless network
based on the preferred Profile List.
NOTE: This behavior is for the system as a whole
and is not specific to any user.
