Profile Management (Security) Window
This window is different from the other Profile Management windows in that it includes many security
features, each of which involves a number of steps. In addition, the security features themselves are
complex and need to be understood before they are implemented. Therefore, this section provides an
overview of the security features as well as procedures for using them.
However, before you determine the appropriate security settings for your client adapter, you must decide
how to set the Allow Association to Mixed Cells parameter, which appears at the bottom of the Profile
Management (Security) window and is not associated to any of the security features. See the
"Setting
the Allow Association to Mixed Cells Parameter"
section below.
Setting the Allow Association to Mixed Cells Parameter
The Allow Association to Mixed Cells parameter indicates whether the client adapter can associate to
an access point that allows both WEP and non-WEP associations. Follow these steps to set this
parameter.
This parameter is unavailable if the WPA or WPA Passphrase security option is selected.
