Using ConfigFree™ with your Toshiba Computer
Using the Automatic Switch
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
Using the Automatic Switch
The Automatic Switch feature allows the computer to
automatically switch profiles the next time it is powered on.
This feature is particularly useful if you want your computer
to automatically switch from the network configuration you
use in your office to the one you use at home.
The Auto Switch feature contains options for automatically
switching between wired and wireless devices. With these
options, the computer automatically switches to a wireless
LAN network when the cable of the wired LAN network is
removed from the computer. When the cable is reconnected,
the connection to the wired LAN is re-established.
To use the Automatic Switch feature:
1 Right-click the icon in the system tray.
2 Click Auto Switch. The Auto Switch dialog box appears.
3 Check Enable Wireless when cable disconnect occurs.
4 Click OK.
If your computer is connected to multiple wireless LAN
devices, the Auto Switch (SSID) feature is disabled. To enable
this feature, only one wireless LAN device can be used.
Semi-Automatic Switch Feature
The Semi-Automatic feature alerts you when the computer
connects to a Service Set Identifier (SSID) stored in a profile,
When the computer connects to the designated SSID, a
notification window appears. You can then click this window
to connect using the settings specified in the profile.
