If the network has not yet been configured on the
current profile, the Configure screen opens; enter the
appropriate credentials on the configuration screen.
See “Networks," page 107 for
more on configuring
network settings.
5
Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen.
The tester runs a Conn
ection test. Afterward, the credentials
for the Network or AP are retained in the unsaved Profile,
which is denoted with an asterisk (*) (shown in Figure 39).
NOTE: Notice that the Profile name at the top left of the
screen has an asterisk because the Profile has not been
saved with the new credentials. Once you enter security
credentials for an SSID (or multiple SSIDs), save them to a
Profile to avoid losing these settings if another Profile is
loaded or if the tester firmware is updated.
