For example, a mixed wired and wireless network may consist of the following:
• Several desktop computers
• A WAP connected to an Ethernet network
• A printer connected wirelessly to the WAP
In order to use the printer, a desktop PC sends a print job over the Ethernet cable
to the WAP. The WAP then wirelessly transmits the print job to the printer.
4.2.3 Wireless profiles
A wireless profile is a set of network settings unique to a given wireless network.
Many wireless devices have configuration utilities that allows the device to have
wireless profiles for several wireless networks. In order to use the printer, the
computer must be set to the profile for the printer's wireless network.
Note: Not all wireless devices support multiple profiles.
The printer only supports one wireless profile.
Example
A person uses the same wireless-enabled laptop at work and at home. They have
one wireless network at work, and another wireless network at home.
Each network has a unique set of wireless settings. The person creates the following
wireless profiles on the laptop:
• at_work: Contains the network settings for the office wireless network
• at_home: Contains the network settings for the home wireless network
