Changing Profiles

Select WLAN Profiles from the Mobile Companion menu to view, connect to, create, and edit a profile. A completed profile is a set
of adapter configuration settings that can be used in different locations to connect to a wireless network. Create different profiles to
have pre-defined operating parameters available for use in various network environments. When the WLAN Profiles window initially
appears, existing profiles appear in the WLAN Profiles list box.
