Operating Mode
Network (Infrastructure): Connect to an access
point. A Network (Infrastructure) network consists of
one or more access points and one or more computers
with wireless adapters. This connection is the type
used in home networks, corporate networks, hotels,
and other areas that provide access to the network
and/or the internet.
NOTE: Only Network (Infrastructure) is available
for administrator profiles (Pre-logon/Common and
Persistent profiles). See the
Administrator Tool for
more information.
Device to Device (ad hoc): Connect directly to
other computers in an ad hoc wireless network. This
type of connection is useful for connections between
two or more computers only. It does not provide
access to network resources or the internet.
Administrator Profile Type
(Visible only in Administrator Tool)
Persistent: Persistent profiles are applied at boot
time or whenever no one is logged on the computer.
After a user logs off, a Persistent profile maintains a
wireless connection either until the computer is turned
off, or a different user logs on.
Pre-logon/Common: These profiles are only
available using the Administrator Tool. Pre-logon/
Common profiles are applied once a user logs on. The
connection is made as part of the Windows log-on
sequence (Pre-logon/Common). This profile is shared
by all users.
