Profile Tab
Profile settings are radio and security settings that are stored in the registry as
part of a configuration profile. When a profile is selected as the active profile on
the Main tab, the settings for that profile become active. An administrator can
define up to 20 profiles, edit them, and delete them on the Profile tab in SCU.
Profile changes made on the tab are saved to the profile only when the
Commit button is pressed.
Unless it is modified, the Default profile does not specify an SSID, EAP type, or
method of encryption. If the Default profile is the active profile, then the radio will
associate only to an access point that broadcasts its SSID and requires no EAP
type and no encryption.
