5 Enter the required configuration information, and click
Save.
Once added, the network or AP name will appear in the
Settings menu on the Networks or Access Points screen
as shown in Figure 27.
NOTE: Notice that the Profile name at the top left of the
screen has an asterisk because the Profile has not been
saved with the new credentials. Once you enter security
credentials for an SSID (or multiple SSIDs), save them to a
Profile to avoid losing these settings if another Profile is
loaded or if the Tester firmware is updated.
Using Profiles to Manage Settings and Security
Credentials
Profiles are files that save configuration settings for the
Tester and security credentials for networks and APs, which
let the Tester connect and perform roaming tests and
connectivity tests to DNS servers, DHCP servers, the default
router, and network targets. Profiles also include the
following information:
All 802.11 settings (For example, Enable 2.4-GHz band

and Enable 5-GHz band)
AutoTest settings

Ethernet test settings

IP addresses used for ping or TCP Port Connect tests

Location and Language

Thresholds for the colored bar graphs and Pass,

Warning, and Fail ratings
Profiles can be password protected so that unauthorized
users cannot use the Tester to connect to secure networks or
access network security credentials on the AirCheck G2
Manager PC application.
The AirCheck G2 Tester's Home Screen shows the name of
the Profile the Tester is using at the top left. The name shows
an asterisk (*) if you have changed a setting on the Tester
since you last saved the Profile.
