User's Manual

NOTE: If you are using the profile that has been modified then the changes will not
come into effect until you have stopped the connection and restarted it.
WLAN Settings
This group of settings determines the communication parameters used on the air
interface. It’s shown in a separate tab in the WLAN configuration dialogue. If an
authenticated connection to a wireless network is required, additional parameters
are needed that may interact with the parameters described in this section.
> The user may either enter the network name or select it from a list, which was
generated by clicking the Scan button. A network might not broadcast it’s name
for security reasons and so will not appear in the list, you will need it’s details
from your IT administrator.
> The list of available networks is not updated automatically while this dialogue is
open, you must click “Scan”. While the scan is active a progress dialogue is shown.

Managing Profiles
The configuration dialogue for WLAN profiles works like the configuration dialogue
for GPRS/3G or GSM connections. The user selects the desired profile from the list at
the top and can modify the different parameters in the panes in the middle. Some
common operations are available in the tool bar at the bottom.
> To create a new profile, the user clicks the button “New” at the bottom of the
configuration pane. The user has the option to import an existing WLAN
connection from the GlobeTrotter Mobility Manager Database or to create
a new WLAN connection manually. All settings in a new profile are set to their
default values until changed by you.
> By clicking “Delete” the selected profile is removed from the list. A profile may
be deleted only if it’s not currently being used for communication.
> The user can save any changes to the current pane (including any changes to
other panes) immediately by clicking “Save”. This button is only available when
the data on the current or another pane has been changed.
