After creating profiles for the client adapter, they can be included in the
profile manager's auto profile selection feature. Then when auto profile
selection is enabled, the client adapter automatically selects a profile from
the list of profiles that were included in auto profile selection and uses it
to establish a connection to the network. This makes the wireless profile
selection invisible to the user and improves the user experience.
Follow
the steps below to include any of the profiles in auto profile selection and to
establish the order in which the profiles will be selected for use. Open ACU;
click the Select Profile icon or select Select Profile from the Commands
drop-down menu. The Select Profile screen appears
. Click the
Manage button next to the Use Auto Profile Selection option. The Auto Profile
Selection Management screen appears
.
All the created profiles are listed in the Available Profiles box. Highlight
each one to include in auto profile selection and click the Add button. The
profiles move to the Auto Selected Profiles box. Auto profile guidelines are
shown in Figure
. The first
profile in the Auto Selected Profiles box has the highest priority while the
last profile has the lowest priority. To change the order and priority of the
auto-selectable profiles, highlight the profile to be moved and click the
High Priority or Low Priority arrow to move the profile up or
down, respectively. When auto profile selection is enabled, the client adapter
scans for an available network. The profile with the highest priority and the
same SSID as one of the found networks is the one that is used to connect to
the network. If the connection fails, the client adapter tries the next highest
priority profile that matches the SSID and so on. Click OK to save the
changes.
