Creating a Preferred WLAN Profile

The following procedure explains how to create a Preferred WLAN profile
for the following wireless network environments:

ˆ

No security

ˆ

WEP security

ˆ

WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK security

Note

The AT-WCC201G wireless adapter also supports Ad Hoc, WPA/
WPA2 Enterprise, and 802.1x authentication, but these topics are
beyond the scope of this manual.

To create a Preferred WLAN, perform the following procedure:

1. Start the Wireless Configuration utility, as explained in “Starting the

Configuration Utility” on page 35.

2. If you created groups for storing your Preferred WLAN profiles, click

the name of the group in the Profile Group Control list where you want
to store the new profile. Creating profile groups is optional. For
instructions, refer to “Working with Profile Groups” on page 52.

3. Do one of the following:

ˆ

If the network that you want to configure as a Preferred Network is
listed in Available WLANs, double-click it or click it once and then
click the Add button. (If you know that the computer is within
reception distance of a wireless router or access point of the
network, but the network is not listed under Available WLANs, try
clicking Refresh.)

ˆ

If the network is not listed in Available WANs because the wireless
adapter is not in range of the network, click the New button in the
Preferred WLANs section of the tab.

The Wireless Network Properties window is displayed, as shown in
Figure 24 on page 39.
