Auto Connect
Connect to available network using profiles only:
(Default) Connect the WiFi adapter to an available
network with a matching profile from the
Profiles List. If
no matching profile is found, you are notified (see
Notifications). The wireless device remains
disconnected until a matching profile is found or you
configure a new matching profile.
Connect to any available network if no matching
profile found: Select to connect to a network
automatically if you have not configured a profile and
are at a location that has an open, unsecured wireless
network. NOTE: Open networks have no security. You
would need to provide your own security for this
wireless connection. One way to secure an open
wireless connection is with Virtual Private Networking
(VPN) software.
Connect to any network based on profiles only
(Cisco mode): Select to try every profile in preferred
order. This signifies that you are in the vicinity of an
access point which has more than one SSID but only
advertises one.
Do not automatically connect. User will connect
manually: Select to turn off automatic connection.
