Function
Opens a window that lists access points that are broadcasting their SSIDs. Tap
the Refresh button to view an updated list of APs. Each AP's SSID, its received
signal strength indication (RSSI) and whether or not data encryption is in use
(true or false). Sort the list by tapping on the column headers.
If the scan finds more than one AP with the same SSID, the list displays the AP
with the strongest RSSI and the least security.
If you are logged in as an Admin, tap an SSID in the list and tap the Connect
button, you return to the Profile window to recreate a profile for that SSID, with
the profile name being the same as the SSID (or the SSID with a suffix such as
"_1" if a profile with the SSID as its name exists already).
Allows entry of WEP keys or pass phrase as required by the type of encryption.
Unsaved Changes – The SCU will display a reminder if the Commit button is not clicked
before an attempt is made to close or browse away from this tab.
