ONFIGURATION
Some 3Com Wireless Network Adapters allow you to import Wireless
configurations via a 'profile'. The Gateway can generate a profile so that
you do not need to configure your Wireless PCs manually.
The profile contains three items as follows:
Service Area Name/SSID of the Gateway
This is configured on the Configuration tab under the Wireless
Settings option.
Encryption settings from the Gateway
This is configured on the Encryption tab under the Wireless Settings
option.
Profile Name
This is used to identify the profile once it has been imported into the
Wireless Network Adapter configuration software.
To set up a profile (once the Service Area Name/SSID and Encryption
settings have been configured in the Gateway):
1 Enter a Profile Name (up to 25 alphanumeric characters) and then click
Save Profile.
2 Your browser will then prompt you to enter a file name and folder
location in which to save the profile. Once the profile has been saved it
can be copied on to another PC and imported into the 3Com Wireless
Network Adapter.
For instructions on how to import a profile, refer to the User Guide that
accompanies your 3Com Wireless Network Adapter(s).
If, once the profile is imported, the Wireless Network Adapter cannot
connect to the Gateway, check that:
the adapter is within range of the Gateway
if Connection Control has been enabled in the Gateway, the MAC
address of the Wireless Network Adapter must be included in the list of
authorized Wireless PCs.
