Importing Wi-Fi profiles from a ThinkPad notebook computer to your
tablet
If you have several Wi-Fi settings profiles that have been configured and saved on a ThinkPad computer, you
can capture and import those profiles to your tablet. By capturing and importing existing profiles, you can
avoid having to manually configure wireless settings on your tablet. After the process is complete, the tablet
automatically connects to the same Wi-Fi networks as the ThinkPad host computer does.
To import Wi-Fi profiles from a ThinkPad computer to your tablet, you can either capture the Wi-Fi profiles
from your computer by yourself, or ask your IT administrator to manually generate deployable Wi-Fi profiles
and import them into your tablet. For the latter method, consult your IT administrator for further help.
