• Select Profile – Select whether the profile is for a wireless or
wired connection.
• Profile Name – Enter the name you want to associate with
the new profile.
• Network Type – Select the network mode you want to
associate with the new profile. Select Infrastructure if your
network consists of both wired and wireless devices that
communicate through a central device, such as an access
point. Select Ad-hoc if your network consists of only wireless
devices that communicate with each other directly.
• Network Name SSID – Enter the SSID of your network. The
SSID is the name of your wireless network. All wireless
devices on a network must use identical SSIDs to successfully associate with other devices on
the network. MYSSID is an example of a valid SSID.
• Channel – Auto-Channel is recommended for most profiles. If you are making an Ad-hoc
connection, or connecting to a network that doesn’t broadcast its SSID, you may have to set
the wireless channel manually here.
• Encryption Method – Displays the types of encryption available. Once encryption is selected,
you will be required to enter an Encryption Key. For the Transmission Key Number, 1 is
recommended.
