Automatic Profile Distribution
The Enable Auto-Import feature allows a network administrator to distribute a profile automatically to computers connected to a network. These profiles can be automatically imported
from the \Programs Files\Intel\Wireless\AutoImport directory on the client computer. Enable Auto-Import option is located on the the
Advanced Settings page. Click Advanced on the
Profile Wizard General Settings page to access the Advanced Settings.
The profile must be copied to a specific directory on the host computer, from there it can be distributed to multiple computers. Once the profile is received by the remote computer it is
automatically available from the Profiles List. If an attempt is made to edit a distributed profile that is password protected, a password prompt appears.
Automatically importing profiles is accomplished by monitoring the import folder on your hard disk for new profile files. Only profiles that have the Enable Auto-Import box checked can
be automatically imported. If a profile of the same name already exists in the Profiles List, a dialog is displayed from which you can either reject the import, or accept in which case the
existing profile is replaced. All imported profiles are placed at the bottom of the Profiles List, and the profile file is immediately deleted after the import whether the import was successful
or not.
To import a profile into the Profiles List:
1. Select the profile from the Profiles List, and click the Properties button.
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. Select Enable Auto-import.
4. Click OK to save the setting and exit.
5. Click OK to close the General Settings page.
6. Export the profile from the Profiles List. Refer to Importing and Exporting Profiles for details.
